Carey School Early Education Center Extension Approved

At our January 12 regular meeting, Council approved the construction at Carey School of a new early education center providing preschool services for up to 75 students. The proposed center consists of a single-story building, approximately 5,895 square feet in size, along with a 100-square-foot trash enclosure. The development includes five classrooms, as well as ancillary and support spaces such as a multipurpose area, a reception area, an office, a teacher workroom, an outdoor play area, and a teaching garden.

Carey School, located on LaSalle Drive off of Alameda de las Pulgas and West 20^th Avenue, provides education to students through 5^th grade.  While they currently provide preschool care at an offsite location, this new building will enable them ot more than double their preschool openings, with at least 10% offered with subsidies.  The Carey School will continue to work with the neighborhood and the City to minimize traffic impact.  This represents a large step in the City’s commitment to providing sufficient high-quality childcare for our residents.
