5.3 Daycare
Cannelle and Pruneau Daycare Centre
In existence for over 30 years, this bilingual

a famous French children’s television show,
Cannelle and Pruneau.
About twenty dynamic educators offer quality
BILINGUAL services in a safe, stimulating, and
stable
environment
where
the
child’s
development is priority. 68 children socialize,
learn, and grow within 9 groups, from babies (0-18 months) to older preschoolers (4 years old). The children are happy here and parents do not worry,
so much so that the daycare Cannelle and Pruneau hopes to increase the number
of places because of a waiting list.
