Our mission
Provide high-quality preschool education that responds to children’s individual and group needs while respecting each child’s developmental pace.
We gradually support them as they adapt to group life and prepare to enter kindergarten.
A unique preschool in the heart of Aylmer

Our story
A project designed especially for children ages 4 and 5
La petite école was created from a desire to build an environment where the joy of growing, discovering and creating is central. A family home in the Aylmer sector was transformed to welcome a group of 20 children each day.
Our preschool stands out for its family-like setting, stable team and educational approach centred on play, respect, independence and discovery.
Our own school bus also allows children to take part in activities and educational outings throughout the region. Scheduled activities and transportation are included.
