The Childcare Centre is located at the intersection of White Road and Veyaness Road on land once used to house South Saanich School. On April 7, 1873, Mr. William Turgoose donated two acres of land from the corner of his farm to the trustees of the South Saanich School District, with the condition the land be held and used for public school purpose.
South Saanich School, a school house measuring 25 feet by 50 feet, was constructed and opened on the donated site in 1873 with 53 pupils attending between the ages of 5 and 16. South Saanich School operated for about 40 years until 1913 when it was replaced by Saanichton School and Keating School.
