About CPE Alouette

The CPE Alouette (Early Childhood Centre) is a Francophone educational childcare service subsidized by the Ministère de la Famille du Québec. Daily, it welcomes 80 children from 0 to 5 years old. It is located in the residential area of the CFB in Bagotville, and exclusively offers its services to the personnel of the CFB. Although it is a childcare centre based in a workplace, the CPE Alouette remains an autonomous and independent corporation of the CFB which reports to a board of directors whose members are mostly parents who use the child care service.

Reduced contribution program

In Quebec, certain day care centers such as CPEs are funded by the state and come under the «Law and regulations on educational childcare services». The CPEs are responsible, among other things, for providing quality educational services and for implementing the Accueillir la petite enfance program.

Parents who attend a CPE benefit from discounted rates. You will find all the information concerning pricing and service agreements by clicking on the following link:

When the child is registered with the CPE Alouette, the parent must, among other things, provide the following documents:

• Birth certificate or passport of the parent who will sign the agreement
• Birth certificate of the child
• Proof of employment at CFB Bagotville

 

Find a place in a CPE

Since 2018, all recognized day care centers (CPE, daycares and home environments) must exclusively use the online service for parents’ registration at «La Place’s 0-5» to fill their vacancies. Place 0-5 is the only gateway for parents to access all of the recognized day care services in Quebec.

The Alouette CPE has an admission policy to establish the eligibility criteria for children and the procedures to be followed to fill a vacant or replacement place.
