Should a 20-Child Day Care Open at 21 Young Crescent in Avalon?
Official title: 21 Young Crescent
LoveZone Early Learning Childcare wants to open a day care for up to 20 children at 21 Young Crescent in Saskatoon's Avalon neighbourhood. The site is zoned residential, so this requires special approval from City Council. The applicant originally proposed 30 spots but reduced it to 20 after public feedback.
Why This Matters
Live near 21 Young Crescent? This could mean more traffic and activity on your street. Looking for childcare in Avalon? A new day care could mean more options for your family. The city wants to know if neighbours support or oppose this before Council decides.
What Could Change
If approved, a day care for 20 children could operate in this residential area. The city may impose conditions on parking, outdoor play space, and hours of operation. The decision goes to Municipal Planning Commission in January 2026, then to City Council for a public hearing.
Key Issues
- Should a day care be allowed to operate in this residential neighbourhood?
- Is the reduced capacity of 20 children appropriate for this location?
- What parking and traffic conditions should apply?
