CPE Force Vive

Force Vive is a nonprofit early childhood centre and coordinating office in Laval, Quebec, operating under a permit from the Quebec Ministry of Families. Its centre-based facility can welcome up to 80 children, while its coordinating-office role in the Mille-Îles area supports more than 788 places in family childcare. The organization helps families access childcare and provides educational services designed to support children’s overall development and well-being.

Force Vive follows Quebec’s “Accueillir la petite enfance” educational program, which promotes healthy habits, positive behaviours, and an environment that supports children’s growth. Its approach is also informed by “Partager le plaisir d’apprendre,” a guide to educational intervention in preschool, and Anna Pinelli’s approach to supporting babies’ autonomy. The organization shares educational resources, including teaching capsules, and provides information about available family childcare places. Through its centre, family childcare network, and coordinating services, Force Vive works to offer children positive learning experiences and families practical access to early childhood care.
