Claudine Gagnon

Claudine Gagnon is an early childhood specialist and educator who supports childcare professionals, families, and young people through training, consultation, and learning opportunities. She is the founder of Éducatrices Re-Connectées, a professional development initiative for educators and recognized home childcare providers. Its offerings include continuing education, practical learning pathways, pedagogical coaching, and communities of practice where professionals can reflect together. Training topics include responding to children’s needs and behavior, emotions, conflict, free play, and nature-based pedagogy, with options for individuals and childcare teams.

For parents, Claudine offers support around toilet learning, including individual consultations and self-guided assistance, as well as a free virtual parent community. Her approach includes discussing each family’s needs and identifying an appropriate service. She also offers youth courses in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross and Atout Plus, including Babysitting and Home Alone preparation. Services are available virtually and, for some educator training, in person. Through her work, Claudine brings together practical guidance, professional reflection, and support for children’s growing autonomy.
