About the Daycare
The main objective of our qualified team of educators is to guide the children through educational experiences conductive to the social, emotional and physical growth of each child. Our daycare offers a caring, safe learning environment that promotes respect.
The daycare's philosophy, purpose and goals are:
- To ensure the safety and general well being of the children.
- To offer homework support after school to the students with an appropriate place in which to work.
- To encourage the development of social skills such as respect and co-operation to others.
- To set up activities and recreational projects that contribute to the children’s overall development.
Our daycare is in compliance with the Quebec Education Act and the bugetary rules of the Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS).
The school provides daily daycare services before school starts at 7:00 a.m. and after school from 2:35 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. For regular users of the service, daycare is also available on pedagogical days. For more information on our Daycare Program, please contact our Daycare Technician. Please refer to the Daycare Handbook on our website for information regarding policies and procedures.
Students that attend our B.A.S.E. Daycare are expected to be respectful and follow the instructions of their daycare supervisors. Once in daycare, students are expected to complete their homework and then participate in the structured activities in a calm and orderly manner. When a student will be absent from daycare, parents must inform the daycare technician (Ms. Georgia) through a phone call, a note in the agenda or through the Changes in Dismissal form on the school website. Once the parent arrives, the student is then under the parent’s care.
