Music contributes to the overall development of the child and prepares the acquisition of language. Sound Awakening allows the child to explore music in a rhythmic, melodic and bodily way. The child learns to manipulate different percussion instruments, and the child will also be asked to sing and participate in various listening, auditory recognition and movement activities. It also makes it possible to make a first contact of stimulating and pleasant way with the world of the music while developing its listening, its memory, its coordination and its musical sensibility.
Bring children to produce different sounds of language while diversifying their word choices by respecting the meaning of these words in their statements. Observe whether children understand and produce correct and complex sentences by examining, among other things, the use of verb tenses, conjunctions, coordination or subordinations. Naming and writing the objects surrounding the child stimulates the acquisition of language and awakens to writing. Surrounding the different functions of writing, the child becomes more and more curious about this communication tool.

Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.
The psychomotor development depends on the context in which the child lives, it allows the progressive control of the child and the progression of the awakening in the child. Psychomotor development is based on two aspects: global motor skills and fine motor skills. The gross motor generates the general aspects of the body, diagram, the laterality, the special and temporal structuring. For example: knowing how to balance, stand up, get up, catch an object, grab an object, manipulate, fill, empty, put on, draw, etc. This ensures physical exercises lead to better psychomotor coordination. They help the child to feel his body better and to use it as well as possible. The development of gross motor skills greatly helps the development of fine motor skills, which allows fine actions of handling, grip, it promotes creativity in the child and gives it a better control of the fingers, hands and eyes. The educator’s mission is to adapt attitudes that favor and support the psychomotor development of the child, especially through a warm and safe relationship with the child who can make choices in the handling of objects and the exploration of space according to its psychomotor development.
There are two types of outings: educational outings and sports outings. These are only related for children two years of age and older. Educational outings are organized in order to broaden the field of stimulation of children who are often confined to day-care routine. In our case, for example, a visit to an apple farm is organized in the fall, the sugar shack in the spring, the library, the supermarket and the seniors’ home. Sports outings are paid for by the daycare. They have a link with the city of Montreal near the daycare, among other parks, the pool and especially a center of specialized gymnastics for children. The activities he does outdoors and in full light also provide him with immense health benefits.
