À propos de nous

My name is Jing Ping Tang, and I am the proud mother of a 19-year-old daughter. As a passionate early childhood educator and daycare owner, I’ve always been committed to providing the best possible care and educational experiences for children. What started as creating a nurturing environment for my own daughter has expanded into a deep dedication to fostering the growth and development of all the children in our care.​

I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree in art education, along with formal qualifications as an early childhood educator. My journey in this field began in 2005, when I launched a home daycare program under McGill University's home daycare initiative. I initially cared for eight children, including my own daughter, and quickly recognized the profound impact of providing high-quality, individualized care in a structured learning environment. This led me to expand my vision and share these benefits with more families.

With over 20 years of experience, I am privileged to be able to bring the Montessori philosophy to our daycare programs. The Montessori method, which emphasizes independence, self-discipline, and a love for lifelong learning, is at the heart of the care we provide.

In 2018, we embarked on a new chapter by planning for child care centers at 215 boul. Amsterdam. This project received incredible support from Mr. Camille Villeneuve, the developer of the Plateau housing project, and his team at Multivesco. We also received approval from the Ministère de la Famille and the City of Gatineau for a daycare center designed by a team of architects and engineers.

In December 2023, we proudly opened the doors to Garderie Ami Calin Aylmer, located next to the serene Parc Amsterdam. This peaceful environment allows children to connect with nature and enjoy outdoor activities that complement their Montessori learning experience. The daycare’s Montessori classroom, which includes a gym, fosters an environment where children develop independence, focus, and confidence.

At Garderie Ami Calin, we believe in the process of "normalization" — where children build self-discipline, curiosity, and a lifelong passion for learning. We are honored to provide a space where children can grow, explore, and thrive.
