Mission and Values

Mission:

The Centre Éducatif Au Sommet des Couleurs aims to meet the emotional, physical, social, and intellectual needs of all children in an appropriate manner. This is done by planning activities, showing them the importance of the environment, providing nutritious meals, offering rest time as needed, and, most importantly, instilling respect, autonomy, environmental awareness, and open-mindedness. We welcome children in a warm, friendly, and lively atmosphere. The relationship between employees, children, and parents is always positive.

At the Centre Éducatif Au Sommet des Couleurs, we have combined the principles of the Montessori approach with our educational approach centred on learning through exploration, play, and inquiry. We foster environments rich in possibilities where children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and discover on their own, while being supported by caring and competent adults. 

Philosophy: 

  • Every child is a unique being and develops at their own pace. 
  • The child is a capable being. 
  • The child is a competent being.

  • The child learns through play and imitation.
