About London French Day Care Centre

London French Day Care Centre is a childcare provider located on Kipps Lane in London, Ontario, serving toddlers and preschoolers. The center offers childcare services in an institutional setting for children aged 15 to 60 months, as well as family childcare services for children aged 3 months to 12 years. They also provide before and after school programs, including Les Merveilleux at École élémentaire Les Rapides and Les Éclaireurs at École élémentaire catholique Saint-Thomas d'Aquin. The center describes its philosophy as an "open" pedagogy that focuses on the global development of the child, including affective, social, cognitive, and physical aspects. They utilize a learning program based on the Ontario pedagogy for early childhood, which emphasizes learning through play, manipulation, and exploration. Their mission is to provide high-quality childcare for parents who want to ensure a French education for their children, while also aiming to promote French culture and contribute to the development of the local francophone and francophile community. The facility features a spacious environment that can accommodate 61 children and includes an outdoor play area. They serve families from various areas, including Stoney Creek, Stoneybrook Heights, Stoneybrook Meadows, River Trail Gate, Fanshawe Ridge, Northridge, Uplands Lands, Cedar Hollow, and Huron Heights. While the center focuses on French language and culture, they welcome all families and state that it is not necessary for parents to speak French to enroll their children. The center participates in the pan-Canadian early learning and childcare system (AGJE).
