Typical Schedule
Typical schedule specifically for infants (3 to 17 months)
The schedule provided is an example of the various components typically included in a HighScope approach. However, when caring for infants, we consider each child’s individual schedule, which includes diaper changes, meals, naps, and activities.
To help infants feel safe and secure and to ensure a smooth transition into the center, parents are welcome to breastfeed their babies in the infant room and bring homemade purées from home.
Typical schedule specifically for toddlers (18–35 months)
*It is important to note that the daily schedule may be subject to change depending on the children’s interests and the needs of each room.

Educational Environment
Our Educational Vision
CPE Kaléidoscope CCC is a recognized childcare service that follows the educational program “Accueillir la petite enfance,” developed by the Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés.
The educational program aims to support children’s overall development based on five basic principles:
- Children learn through play;
- Every child is unique;
- Children are the primary agents in their own development;
- Children’s development is a holistic and integrated process;
- Communication between educators and parents is essential to children’s harmonious development.
In addition, we have chosen to implement the HighScope educational approach, which has been scientifically proven over the years.
The HighScope Approach
The HighScope approach is based on active learning. Throughout the day, children make several decisions that guide their learning.
Developmentally appropriate materials are provided, and activities related to key developmental indicators are implemented to support children’s overall development.
Nutrition
CPE Kaléidoscope and La Vallée Colorée provide children with two (2) snacks and one (1) nutritious lunch every day.
A four-week rotating menu ensures that children receive balanced and varied meals. In addition, the entire menu is changed twice a year to take into account the seasons and the availability of fresh foods.
Administrative, educational, and kitchen staff understand the importance of healthy eating. In order to maintain and improve our nutrition-related practices, staff have completed the Croqu’Plaisir training program and use the Gazelle et Potiron guide.
