The Charlevoix Family Home Daycare is even more welcoming now that its kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled.
Nearly $65,000 was invested for the brand new development and is closely linked to the organization’s food mission, which is to provide complete meals to young people in a suitable and friendly environment. The premises can also be used for activities, such as DIY.
“It’s a great accomplishment for us. It will make the children feel at home and the place is better suited for our staff,” said Julie Larouche, general director of the Maison de la famille de Charlevoix.
The premises were embellished by the works of the painter Guylène Saucier, from the Au P’tit Bonheur art gallery. “These reproductions now add a touch of color and fantasy to the toddlers’ dining area, offering a welcoming and stimulating environment to the children attending the organization,” says the gallery’s owner, Marie-Ève Tremblay.
Local company La Cire Constance manufactured the cabinets, helping to create a warm and functional space.
The project received financial support of $25,000 from the Caisses Desjardins de Charlevoix-Est and another of nearly $36,000 from the MRC de Charlevoix-Est.
“This participation demonstrates our desire to support projects that contribute to ensuring the vitality of the environment and an adequate offer of services for the population,” adds the prefect of the MRC of Charlevoix-Est, Odile Comeau.
“We firmly believe in the importance of such initiatives for the well-being of our community,” said Danielle Amyot, President of Caisse Desjardins de Charlevoix-Est.
