WHY LES PETITS AMIS?

Our focus on cultivating social and leadership skills through interaction and play is one of the reasons why we’re unique among other bilingual daycare centres in Montreal.


With diverse classrooms, Montessorian style learning programs, beautiful facilities, and much more, we ensure children leave our centre independent and ready for kindergarten.

Give your child every opportunity to grow into their physical, emotional and academic potential. Register with LPA today!

WELCOMING DIVERSITY

Friends come in all shapes and sizes.


That’s why we’re proud to celebrate the uniqueness of all cultures through special activities and unique guests. The goal is to expose children to different ways of thinking while developing respect and understanding for others.

And as part of Morneau Shepell and WIAIH, we’re also proud to be an inclusive daycare centre accepting children with special needs. Our educators are trained to integrate and ensure special needs children feel welcome and thrive through participation, interaction, and play.

WARM MEALS

All children need nutritionally balanced meals for healthy growth and development.


At LPA we prepare a variety of delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals on site daily. Meals include breakfast, 3 snacks, and a hot lunch.

MONTHLY ACTIVITIES

We offer monthly field trips and outings where children can learn about and experience a wide variety of local and regional attractions.


Parents are encouraged to participate and accompany the children as they visit farms, museums, zoos and theatres.

We also provide a personalized yearbook detailing each outing of your child, so you'll never leave these memories behind!

Education Program

The Early Childhood Education Program is a comprehensive and balanced learning curriculum designed to help our students become confident, resourceful, and adaptable learners through play.

Our pedagogical program focuses on enhancing the children's verbal and literacy skills, building confidence and self-esteem, and preparing them to become engaged members of a caring community.

SOCIAL SKILLS

The educational program fosters creativity, autonomy, self-expression and collaboration in a nurturing environment to encourage your child’s social and emotional development through:

  • cooperative play
  • learning respect for others
  • developing empathy
  • developing negotiation and conflict resolution skills
  • decision making, planning and making choices
  • acknowledgement of emotional experience
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT

Inspired by Montessori, our guided play activities promote movement, choice and repetition to foster creativity and autonomy. Children also practice spacial, time, and number concepts to give them an advantage in reading and math through:

  • sorting, counting, and ordering
  • identifying and comparing
  • estimating and experimenting
  • organizing, assembling and deconstructing
  • expressing and observing
  • starting and stopping
  • colouring, drawing and cutting
INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION

We provide activities to foster intellectual, memory and English and French language development through:

  • stories and reading
  • poems, rhymes and songs
  • association games
  • memory games
  • sensation games
  • classification games

Twice a year, we’ll provide you with a detailed report on your child’s development at the centre. Along with 4 parent & teacher consultations a year. You’ll rest easy knowing your child is being prepared for school life.

THE FIRST DAY

The first day can be a source of anxiety for children and parents alike. But thanks to our integration program, your child will be gently and gradually introduced into their new environment.

We begin with an introductory meeting between the parents and our director, Miss Bessie. Following that parents return with their children to introduce them to the centre and their teachers.

The integration process is designed to minimize the trauma young children sometimes experience in a new environment. Parents are welcome to check in on their child at any time, or even stay for the day!

Facilities

Bright and spacious classrooms stimulate exploration and learning for the children.

Every room at our centre is built to ensure the safety of the children, while promoting a fun learning environment.
