Our daycare is a licensed early childhood education centre that was established in 1991. As a centre operated by qualified Early Childhood Educators and assistants, it is our goal to give the children new and exciting opportunities to learn about themselves and the world around them. Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment that will develop and guide the social, emotional, intellectual, physical and creative growth of each child. We offer childcare for children aged 30 months to five years of age. Both the preschool and daycare program give children an introduction to the French language and culture. Children are encouraged to use the basic French they are leaning on a daily basis, and are given new opportunities to expand their language skills whatever level they are at.
