Getting your child ready for school

Through play, your child learns what will help in kindergarten: listening and following instructions, making friends, doing things on their own, and discovering letters and numbers.

The Ministère de la Famille's program

Our program is built on the one the Ministère de la Famille proposes. It guides our educators and keeps what we do consistent from one daycare to the next, and between daycare and home.

What your child learns before kindergarten

  • Getting ready for school

    Holding a pencil, cutting, and recognising colours, shapes, letters and numbers.

  • Living with others

    Playing together, sharing and settling a disagreement with words.

  • Saying how they feel

    Recognising feelings, naming them and expressing them.

  • Doing it themselves

    Getting dressed, eating, tidying up: small steps that build confidence.

A year full of discoveries
