The Ville de Notre-Dame-des-Prairies is dedicated to supporting the well-being of families and children through the delivery of high-quality, community-based child care services. Its core mission centers on ensuring accessible, enriching, and safe early learning and out-of-school care environments for residents, particularly during school breaks and summer months. Strategic priorities include expanding programmatic offerings such as specialized camps, supervised childcare, educational outings, and structured daily activities that promote child development and parental support. The agency prioritizes programs that integrate social inclusion, safety protocols, and trained personnel to meet the evolving needs of local families.
Procurement activity is focused almost exclusively on the design, operation, and delivery of regulated child care programs, including summer day camps and winter school-break services with integrated supervision, recreational activities, and logistical support. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive solicitation processes for comprehensive service delivery, with an emphasis on vendors capable of managing multi-faceted, staff-intensive programs that comply with provincial child care standards. The agency favors providers with demonstrated capacity in program planning, risk management, and community engagement.
The primary NAICS category targeted is 624410 (Child Care Services), reflecting a singular focus on early childhood and out-of-school care programming. No set-aside preferences are indicated, suggesting procurement is open to all qualified vendors without demographic or size-based restrictions. Vendor relationships are built on operational reliability, program fidelity, and adherence to child safety regulations rather than diversity certifications or preferential contracting mechanisms.
As a municipal entity within the Government of Canada, the Ville de Notre-Dame-des-Prairies operates independently at the local level with no broader departmental hierarchy. It utilizes standard public procurement vehicles for service contracts, primarily issuing competitive solicitations for operational childcare programs. Its geographic scope is confined to the municipality of Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, serving its resident families through direct service acquisition.
