Papillon Daycare
An Inclusive and Unique Environment Tailored to Each Child’s Needs. Building an Inclusive Society, One Day at a Time.
In a nurturing environment that celebrates diversity and acceptance, the Papillon Daycare offers a unique setting for 90 children aged 3 months to 5 years, from various backgrounds and social settings. Among them, 18 children have physical disabilities and/or autism spectrum disorders. They grow together, learning from one another and embracing diversity with open hearts.
Helping each child to soar!
The Papillon Daycare is committed to fostering the overall development of each child by respecting their individual needs and pace. Our approach follows the guidelines of the “Accueillir la petite enfance” educational program from the Quebec Ministry of Families.
Children at the Papillon Daycare are guided to reach their full potential through activities that develop fine and gross motor skills, musical and artistic expression, early literacy, science, and various sports.
In this enchanting space, children form lasting bonds and learn from each other. Here, they open up to the world around them, embracing the richness of diversity. Each day at Papillon Daycare offers unique opportunities for exploration, growth, and thriving in a safe and nurturing environment.
