Address the basic needs of children. Childhood educators must ensure the safety of the children in their care, evaluate their needs (hygiene, comfort, sleep, diet), give them the appropriate care and assess the pertinence of interventions

Address the children’s psychological and educational needs. Childhood educators must establish significant relationships with the children in their care. They must maintain an atmosphere conducive to the evolution of the child or children through their interventions dealing with individual and collective behaviour. Educators must create a life environment conducive to the children’s psychomotor, cognitive, language, social, affective, and moral development

Work in partnership with different individuals. Childhood educators must work in close cooperation with parents and other community partners to achieve consensus as to the necessary interventions with children. A good knowledge of the educational daycare service network and other related networks and the ability to take into consideration the family and social realities encountered allow educators to adjust their interventions and understand their full scope

The Cegep’s slogan, "study in a unique natural environment", was chosen because 4 of its 5 campuses are located in a remote region named Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine. It allows students to enjoy an exceptional natural setting. Indeed, according to National Geographic magazine, Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region is one of the top 20 destinations to visit in the world.

Student success is an institutional priority. From day one of their college education, students have access to various academic support measures including personal academic counselling, a guidance service and teacher-student tutoring. A range of adapted services is also available for students with physical, sensory, neurological, or organic impairment; as well as those with learning disorders or mental health problems. These measures have helped our Cegep achieve a first semester success rate of 84.7% compared to the Quebec college average of 81%.
