Present at the heart of Acadian and Francophone communities, our centres provide children with a consistent educational environment from early childhood. Daily life in French, combined with an adapted pedagogical approach, supports the overall development of Acadian and Francophone children and naturally prepares them for their school journey.

Our support is built on qualified and dedicated teams who work closely with families. Experiences both indoors and outdoors encourage curiosity, well-being, and openness to the world, within safe environments that respect the pace of each child.

Our programs & curriculum

From infant care to after-school childcare, our programs support children’s overall development in French. Each program emphasizes learning through play, exploration, creativity, and language development in a Francophone environment.

Our projects and initiatives

Rana, parents of the Sommet

“What we appreciate most is the caring and respectful approach toward each child. The environment is safe, structured, and welcoming. As parents, it is extremely reassuring to know that our children are surrounded by people who are attentive to their overall development.”

Parent of Grand-Portage

“We love this program! The flexibility, the teachers, and the communication between families and staff are amazing. This is by far the best childcare program we have ever used, and it’s probably my daughter’s favourite part of her day.”

Give your child the opportunity to grow in a French-speaking environment where they can discover, play, and thrive every day.
