La Prématernelle Francophone Trottin-Trottinette

Le Jardin d’Enfants of Trottin-Trottinette is especially conceived for infants and toddlers from 1 to 3 of age. Most teachers have graduated from ITE (Infant and Toddler Educator) or ECE (Early Childhood Educator) graduates.

The educational program “Jouer, c’est Magique” focuses on developing the whole child. It aims to guide action in a collaborative approach with parents. Each activity is part of a perspective that integrates all dimensions of development: socio-emotional, moral, language, cognitive, psychomotor, creativity.

Preschool of Trottin-Trottinette offers to 3 and 4 year old children activities (*) in which they will learn socialization skills in a group, and to respect others at play and at work.

All the activities are available to the child. They will be done as a group or on an individual basis. A certain amount of flexibility must be allowed in order to make the experience a fulfilling, positive and enriching one for the child.

Our objective is to make sure that parents and children feel welcome and are well supported by our service. In order to realize these goals we wish to ensure everyone can:

1. feel comfortable at preschool 

2. establish positive relationships with teachers based on trust 

3. have a positive first time experience at preschool

A gradual entry is suggested (especially for the 3 year old and daycare attendees) during the first week of class. This provides children with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new environment and classroom routines in smaller groups and over shorter periods of time. They need time to adjust to the class, new people, and for some, the whole new world of school.
