Semaine québécoise des services de garde éducatifs à l’enfance

The purpose of the Week is to spotlight the quality of services provided in all childcare settings, along with their major contribution to childhood development and the important role they play in the lives of parents. It also offers an opportunity to recognize the outstanding contributions made by the talented people who work in the sector.

From May 26 to June 1, we celebrate the 2025 Semaine québécoise des services de garde éducatifs à l’enfance, under the theme “S’enraciner pour mieux grandir” (Deeper roots to flourish).

This theme stems from the tree as a metaphor to represent educational childcare services, which provide children with their first learning experiences and grant them a solid foundation for the future. Whether through their roots, a symbol of educational values and educational staff support, or through their plethora of branches, like the various experiences that foster toddlers’ development, educational childcare services are essential pillars of children’s educational journey.

Throughout the Week, actors and partners of the educational childcare network are encouraged to share photographs of their activities on social media, using the hashtag #jaimemonmilieuéducatif. Parents and members of the community can also share them on their own accounts.

The following promotional materials are available to advertise the Week (in French only):
