Description

SD36 is seeking expressions of interest from current non-profit operators of licensed child care with the skills, experience, and resources to operate such child care and who may be interested in operating before and after school care and/or preschool as described below at (4) locations in Surrey BC:

Cindrich Elementary
MB Sanford Elementary
Panorama Park Elementary
Colebrook Elementary

SD36 may choose to award some, all, or none of these spaces to one or more operators or may change the site location entirely dependent on SD36 requirements. Should an operator be selected to run child care at any or all sites, a license agreement would be entered into and the associated license fees charged to the operator. The space available may be used only to operate before and after school care and/or preschool as indicated below.

The before and after school care and/or preschool program should be in operation by January 5, 2026, with license fees being paid by that time.
Priority access to the child care program must be given to children who are enrolled, or who are going to be enrolled, at the host school first, then at neighbouring schools, then to residents of Surrey and then to any child.
