Why Fraser Heights families come to Fleetwood
Fraser Heights is a quieter, leafier residential neighbourhood with single-family homes and a strong sense of community. Our Fleetwood location is reachable via 160 Street southbound — a 10-minute drive most mornings.
Fraser Heights is one of the leafier residential pockets in Surrey — established homes set back from the Fraser River bluff, with the kind of quiet streets that attract young families. Most parents who come to us from there are commuting via Highway 1 (Port Mann) toward Burnaby, Coquitlam, or downtown, and our location at 9270 / 9256 163A Street fits naturally into the southbound 160 Street → Fraser Highway → Hwy 1 route. We are not the closest daycare to Fraser Heights, but families pick us specifically because the alternative of dropping off at one of the larger commercial centres along 160 Street feels institutional. Two small home-based houses with the same educator team every day is a different shape of childcare entirely.
Where we sit relative to Fraser Heights
From most Fraser Heights homes, our centres at 9270 and 9256 163A Street are reachable via 160 Street and 96 Avenue connecting via 168 Street. The drive averages 10 minutes depending on your starting point and traffic. Both buildings are residential-converted homes — small group sizes, real backyards, and a calm pace that contrasts with the institutional feel of bigger commercial centres.
Your morning commute
Fraser Heights families often work in Burnaby, Coquitlam, or downtown via Hwy 1 (Port Mann). The Fleetwood drop-off is on the way for most Hwy 1 commuters: from Fraser Heights, head south on 160 Street, drop off at our centres, then west on Fraser Highway to the Hwy 1 ramp.
Local context — parks and neighbourhood
Notable Fraser Heights-area landmarks within a short drive of our centres include Tynehead Park and Fraser Heights Secondary. After-pickup outdoor time often happens at Tynehead Regional Park (a substantial Surrey green space straddling the Fleetwood/Fraser Heights edge).
