A daycare made for Fleetwood families
Fleetwood is one of the most family-dense neighbourhoods in Surrey — and one of the fastest growing. Between Fleetwood Park, the recreation centre, the Library Branch on Fraser Highway, and the schools that serve the catchment, this is a place built for children. Pixel Wonderland Academy is licensed under Fraser Health Community Care Facilities Licensing and operates two centres on 163A Street, just steps apart, so families can use the same trusted setting from birth through preschool age.
Our two houses sit between 92 Avenue and 88 Avenue, about a 10-minute walk from Fleetwood Park and within a 5–10 minute drive of Guildford Town Centre, Fraser Heights, and the Tynehead area. Both buildings are residential-converted, meaning small group sizes, a real backyard, real kitchens, and the calm pace of a home — not the fluorescent feel of a strip-mall daycare.
Two locations, one team
- Little Ones House — 9256 163A Street: Group Child Care licence for under 36 months. Designed for the youngest children, with secure sleep spaces, low ratios, and a soft daily rhythm.
- Big Kids House — 9270 163A Street: Group Child Care licence for 30 months to school age. Kindergarten readiness, social skills, daily outdoor play, and projects that build curiosity.
The two licences overlap by design between roughly 30 and 36 months, so we move each child between houses based on their developmental readiness — not a fixed birthday. Siblings can attend both at the same time, and there is no "switching providers" when the time to graduate comes.
What "in Fleetwood" actually means for your day
For most Fleetwood families, drop-off at Pixel Wonderland is a 3–8 minute drive. We're roughly a 10–12 minute walk from Fleetwood Park, two blocks from Frost Road Park, and a quick drive to the play areas at Coyote Creek and Tynehead Regional Park. After-pickup walks are part of the rhythm here.
Parking on 163A Street is residential-quiet at drop-off times, so you're never circling for a spot. Stroller-friendly walkways connect both houses if you have children in both age groups.
Built for the families Fleetwood actually has
Fleetwood is one of the most multicultural neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver. Our program welcomes Punjabi-, Korean-, Mandarin-, and English-speaking families, and we recognize cultural holidays, food preferences, and naming conventions throughout the year. We are happy to coordinate with families on dietary requirements (vegetarian, halal, no pork, allergy-aware) and home language continuity.
Subsidies — what most Fleetwood families pay
We accept the two BC family-facing subsidies — Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB) and the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) — and we participate in Child Care Operating Funding (CCOF). CCFRI is automatic; it lowers your monthly fee directly with no application from your side. ACCB is income-based, and we are registered to receive ACCB on behalf of eligible families — we walk you through the application at enrollment. CCOF is provincial operating funding for licensed centres that helps us keep base fees lower for all families. See our tuition page for more.
We are not a $10/day program participating site at this time. Most other BC childcare subsidies do apply.
Looking ahead — Fleetwood SkyTrain
The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension will run through Fleetwood with stations at 152 Street and 166 Street. Per current TransLink planning, opening is targeted for 2028–2029 — check TransLink's project page for the latest. We're positioned for commuting Fleetwood parents who want a daycare on the way to transit. See our SkyTrain proximity guide.
Frequently asked by Fleetwood parents
Where exactly in Fleetwood are you?
9270 163A Street and 9256 163A Street, between 92 Avenue and 88 Avenue, a short walk from Fleetwood Park.
Do you serve Guildford and Fraser Heights families?
Yes. Many of our families live in Guildford, Fraser Heights, Tynehead, and Walnut Grove (Langley). Drive time is typically 5–15 minutes.
Do you accept ACCB, CCFRI, and CCOF?
CCFRI lowers your monthly fee automatically. ACCB is income-based — we can help you apply. CCOF is BC operating funding that helps keep our base fees lower for all families; it is not a subsidy parents apply for directly.
What about commuting parents using the future Fleetwood SkyTrain?
We are within a short drive of the upcoming 152 Street and 166 Street SkyTrain stations on the Surrey-Langley extension (targeted for 2028–2029 per TransLink; check TransLink for the latest timeline). We are positioned for commuting parents who want a daycare drop-off on the way to transit.
