The JeConcilie.com work-study balance diagnostic tool is an online questionnaire that can be completed by the young person, either alone or in the presence of a professional, an employer or a parent.

It is an intervention and awareness-raising tool on school-work-family balance. It gives young people a quick overview of their situation in terms of studies, work and health. Depending on their profile, a number of practical tips, strategies and avenues for reflection are offered.

It also provides education, community and health and social services professionals with a practical tool to help young people reflect on their work-study balance, so as to increase their chances of obtaining a qualifying diploma.

This poster is designed for educational childcare services (SGÉE) and school staff, as well as for community members from the health and social services network and the general community. It is a useful popularization tool for developing a common vision of the educational programs offered to children in SGÉE and kindergarten for 4- and 5-year-olds. It brings together common elements from the Ministère de la Famille‘s Accueillir la petite enfance program and the Ministère de l’Éducation‘s preschool education cycle program. The garden metaphor is used to illustrate the cohesion and continuity of these programs. Feel free to use it in your interventions with families whose children will be transitioning into kindergarten to address the aspects covered in these two educational programs.

This placemat, designed for parents of 4-year-olds, aims to smooth the road into kindergarten with ideas for activities and learning that will support the school transition. One side of the placemat illustrates what a child needs in order to be ready for kindergarten. The other side is a “Look and Find” game that encourages children to develop their skills. The purpose of the placemat is to encourage parent-child discussions about starting school in a playful way, and to explain to and reassure the parent about expectations in order to reduce the pressure on both them and the child.

This toolkit contains three things: 1) Examples of transition to kindergarten activities for partners; 2) Tips & tricks for the transition to kindergarten for parents; and 3) Emotions, Stress, and the Transition to Kindergarten for parents.

The My Profile Tool 2.0 is used to assess children’s developmental achievements. It was created by childcare educators and distributed to partners in schools in order to promote continuity with regard to the educational services offered to children.
