As a member of Quebec’s association of community drop-in centres, the Local Familial has a regular drop-in daycare. It is held by an educator trained in first aid, who leads the children in arts and crafts, motor skills activities, and free play. The educator is sometimes supported by a volunteer parent. The Local remains open during the drop-in daycare, giving the children the opportunity to interact naturally with other families in a familiar space.

Pyjama night - Have a night out or in while your kids have fun at the Local!
The Local Familial's pyjama night takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. and is open to children up to 6 years of age. The children are welcome to arrive in their pjs to get into the swing of the evening.
A meal is included and shared on site. Educators with first-aid training lead calm, fun activities throughout the evening and adapt them to suit the children's age and group dynamic.
Towards the end of the evening, a short film under 30 minutes is shown. Children who wish to can lie down and rest in a cozy corner. We can't promise that your child will be asleep when you arrive, but everything is designed to provide a gentle, soothing experience.
Space is limited to ensure small group sizes and personalized attention for each child.
