They have the choice of eating breakfast, colouring, reading or taking care of the class, such as watering the plants. The educator during the afternoon daycare will watch over the children as they have free play until 6pm when the school closes.

Lunch

2 options are offered.:

A catering service from Tuesday until Friday and a lunch box that the parents provide for their child on Mondays.
You can choose to provide a lunch box every day of the week.

The catering service will try its best to respect any particular requests (allergies, no pork, no lactose..)

Afternoon activities

During the week, we offer the children a chance to experiment in a variety of activities. Thanks to our educators, the children will be introduced to theatre, tae-kwon-do, dance, music, sewing and baking.

Agenda

Each child is offered an agenda in which an educator communicates with the parents and notes how the child was throughout the day ; how their appetite was, if they had a nap and the different activities or achievements completed by the child.
