Joli-Cœur offers educational childcare in both centre and home-based settings, along with guidance for parents on enrollment, available places, fees, policies, and children’s daily routines. Its educational approach emphasizes play, outdoor activities, connection with nature, healthy habits, and support for children with additional needs. The organization also provides resources, training, and practical tools for family childcare providers, including information about becoming recognized and operating a home-based service. For employees and job seekers, it shares career opportunities and workplace information. Guided by a commitment to children, families, staff, and partner providers, CPE Joli-Cœur also identifies with sustainable practices and community engagement.
