Activities are organized several times a week at La Pirouette. It’s a special time for parents and families to take time together.
Calendar of events :
Discussion meetings
These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss family-related topics. These are either discussions between parents or informative meetings with a practitioner. A wide choice of topics is offered: child development, family life, couples, etc.
Parent-child activities
Parent-child activities are a great way to spend quality time together as a family. Different aspects of child development are covered, and parents discover ideas for activities they can then reproduce at home. The themes chosen are designed to stimulate the interest and imagination of both child and parent. For example: story time, motor games, arts and crafts, early music, etc.

“Welcome to your home” or “Open environment
These periods offer space for you: the need to get out and about, to meet other families, to have access to new toys, books, etc. You can come whenever you like and meet up for a coffee or herbal tea! It’s up to you! Indoors or outdoors, weather permitting.
Reception and support is provided by a member of the team. Everything is set up so that families can forge links, share and enrich their parenting experience. If you’re not yet a member, these activities are ideal for making first contact with the team and visiting the premises. For a first visit, contact us to let us know you’re coming!
Family outings
Outings are family activities out of the ordinary. They enable children and parents to enjoy experiences that are not always accessible to them, in a context adapted to young children. Depending on the season, you can take part in apple-picking in an orchard, a day at the sugar shack, a visit to the Botanical Garden, a play performance, etc.
