B.A.S.E.
Daycare Program
Honoré Mercier offers all children attending our school (kindergarten to grade 6) the Before And After School Enriched (B.A.S.E.) Daycare service.
The school provides early entry, lunch and after school daycare services. Such services provide our students with activities and educational projects that develop their intellectual abilities and their social skills such as respect and cooperation. The daycare also provides a homework support program.
Students also participate in recreational activities such as arts and crafts, computers, drama club, cooking club, building club, card playing and board games. Organized sports activities such as soccer, hockey, basketball and dodge ball are also enjoyed by the children. In addition, the daycare offers various field trips (sugar camp, apple picking, IMAX, etc.) or “special days” (Mad Science, Carnival, Pyjama Party, etc.) which are organized on pedagogical days throughout the school year.
B.A.S.E. daycare is open to all students on Pedagogical days. However, advance registration is required for your child to attend on those days. For pedagogical days, the daycare organizes various activities to ensure that the children have a fun day off from school.
For more information regarding our daycare, please contact our daycare coordinator, Ms. Daniela Buttino at (514) 323-4023.

Fee Structure
The Daycare fee structure is based on the student’s status in the daycare. A student’s status is designated as Regular, Sporadic or Occasional.
Regular: (For a maximum of five hours) | $9.20/day |
---|---|
Pedagogical Day: (For a total of 10 hours. Additional activity fees may apply) | $12.00/day |
Sporadic + Occasional: (On regular school days) | Fees are based on the blocks the student attends, partial or full, and varies per school depending on the time of each daycare period. |
A regular student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for a minimum of one to five days a week and a minimum of two periods a day. This applies to students who attend on a weekly basis and follow a fixed schedule.
A sporadic student is one who is registered and attending Daycare for one period a day (AM, LUNCH or PM). Please note that the lunch period is considered a block. A sporadic student is also someone who is registered and attends on a pedagogical day.
An occasional student is one who is registered but does not have a forecasted attendance and does not attend on a weekly basis. Daycare Services are needed for emergency purposes. The parent/guardian must give the daycare a 24-hour notice when possible and keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that their child(ren) will be put in the same daycare group as their classmates.
IMPORTANT: If you require daycare services for a child who will begin Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten, and is new to the school, kindly contact the Daycare Technician to register. If you do not require daycare services, no action is required.
Should you have any questions concerning the on-line daycare registration, please communicate with the Daycare Technician Ms. Daniela Buttino at (514) 323-4023 or send us an e-mail at honoremercier@emsb.qc.ca.
