In the Community Learning Centres (CLC) network, we often struggle to explain what we do. That’s because the CLC is like an idea blowing across the province showing up in myriad ways. Here we share the stories so that you can see it and believe it too – CLCs make a huge difference to student engagement and the vitality of English Linguistic Minority communities across Quebec.

Books and Breakfast


Books and Breakfast
Parkdale CLC
Jackie Dare, a teacher at Parkdale Elementary in Montreal developed Books and Breakfast, an early literacy project with her Kindergarten classes and parents.  The project took place throughout the whole year with specific celebrations at Christmas, Valentine's day and Mother's day.  Books and Breakfast stressed the importance of literacy and reading to young children as a stepping-stone for continued success in education.

One of her main goals was to implement an open door feeling where parents would be comfortable coming into the school and therefore be more involved in their children’s education and school life.





Ms. Dare felt if she could get the parents of kindergarten students to feel good about coming into the school then perhaps they will continue this trend throughout their children education.
