The groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of construction work on Peggy 4’s Le P’tit monde daycare center was attended by the Minister of Family Affairs, Suzanne Roy, the Deputy Mayor of the City of Varennes, Guillaume Fortier, and municipal councillors Brigitte Collin, Carine Durocher and Gaétan Marcil. Also in attendance were Peggy St-Pierre, owner of the daycare center, and Rémi Létourneau, co-president of Protech Construction, designer, builder and co-owner of the building.
After a first daycare center in Boucherville and two others in Saint-Amable, Le P’tit monde de Peggy will soon open a fourth facility in Varennes. This new facility will offer children functional premises, outdoor play areas and equipment specially designed to support their development. The pedagogical approach will emphasize autonomy, curiosity and respect for each child’s individual rhythm. With a capacity of 80 children, the new facility fits harmoniously into a fast-growing residential area, reinforcing the area’s attractiveness to families.
