The Preschool Path of Kindergarten Students

The vast majority of children in 5-year-old kindergarten (93%) attended a childcare setting at some point before starting school. Among the children who did, half started childcare before their first birthday.

The report on the Québec Survey on the Preschool Path of Kindergarten Students, which collected data from the parents of about 14,900 children enrolled in 5-year-old kindergarten in 2021–2022, provides provincial and regional data on the preschool path of children and the environment in which they grow up.
