Marysville Child Care Centre Update

Exciting news! Silverado Industries Inc. will be commencing construction of the new child care facility the week of November 6th. The child care facility will be located on the north field of Marysville Elementary School. Construction starts with the excavation of the site, backfilling with structural material and then concrete footings and foundation walls. Over the winter they will be framing and roofing pushing through the winter weather to get the facility to lockup. Throughout the Spring and summer interior and exterior finishing will take place.

During the planning stage of the child care facility, the design team tried to incorporate the beautiful old tree which is in the middle of the north field with the new facility, unfortunately it was determined the tree had to be removed to accommodate the child care facility and associated parking and play areas. To commemorate the old tree, we will be using the wood to make very special benches that will be located around the child care facility.

We are very excited to see the dream of a new child care facility start to become a reality for the children and the families in the Kimberley area and are grateful for our partnership with Summit Community Services Society.

To put in an expression of interest for your child to attend this facility, please contact Sarah Jacklin, Executive Director of Summit Community Services Society, at ed@summitfamily.ca

School District No. 6 – Rocky Mountain is pleased to share our conceptual construction plans for the new Rocky Mountain Child Care Centre – Marysville that have been developed by MQN Architects, Vernon, BC. The new building will be constructed on the north end of the Marysville Elementary School site and this facility will be operated by Summit Community Services Society. These conceptual drawings show the site plan, the floor plan, and the exterior elevation of the child care building. The Marysville Child Care project was released on August 15, 2023 for public tender and will close September 21, 2023.

The Invermere Child Care project will use the same facility design as the Marysville Child Care project. The Invermere project has undergone topographical surveying and geotechnical assessment and tender will be scheduled once the development permit has been approved and the Issued for Tender (IFT) drawings are ready for public tender.
