High Quality Early Childhood Program

The Early Childhood Program is a curriculum intended for children from birth to twelve years of age. It supports the view of a good quality early childhood system that backs up each child’s progress in all areas of development. This program is supported by both federal and provincial agencies in order to improve the health and well being of our young children not only physically but also intellectually, emotionally and socially.

In Quebec, Early Childhood Education is very important because we value children as our most priceless assets. This outlook is affirmed by Nelson Mandela when he said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Hence, the province set up a  standard rule for all child care services to meet the needs of every child not only nurturing yet in giving them the best quality education.

A high-quality daycare is one that is able to recognize the children’s needs and to meet these demands for good measure. It is the establishment where educators will help and get involved with the children by taking into account the levels of their development. In order to achieve these goals, in Quebec, the following structural elements must be respected and implemented accordingly.

• Educator - child ratio = by following the standard ratio of adult-child in the daycare is very beneficial to both educator and the children because it will ensure the quality interactions between the educator and the children.
