Teaching in preschool is based on a unique curriculum that includes five areas of education.
The area “Mobilising language in all its dimensions” emphasises the fundamental role of language in preschool, particularly the acquisition of French, the schooling language, as an essential condition for the success of all students.
The areas “Doing, expressing oneself, and understanding through physical activity” and “Doing, expressing oneself, and understanding through artistic activities” help develop interactions between action, sensations, imagination, sensitivity, thinking, and oral and written language.
The areas “Acquiring basic mathematical tools” and “Exploring the world” focus on developing a first understanding of the children’s environment and encouraging their curiosity.

Early Learning Cycle
Preschool is part of the “Early Learning Cycle” and is organised into three years: Petite, Moyenne, and Grande sections (Small, Medium and Big).
During these three years, students will acquire knowledge and skills suited to their age, individual needs, and essential for their well-being and development. The goal is to instill a love of learning at school by providing a calm and stimulating environment.
