Panache Enfants was conceived of by a family looking to up the ante in an industry where common practice is often the norm as opposed to best practice. They wanted an educational system that provided their own children with a well-rounded care environment as well as the academic integrity required to set their children up for success as future leaders, educators and professionals. The family wanted their own children to be put through an early childhood experience that balanced developmentally appropriate childhood education ("after all, kids need to be kids!") with academic challenge ("we want the best and highest level education for our kids because it is so competitive!!"). And so a company was formed with its main goal being family partnerships to continue molding to the needs of families while still maintaining a strong foundation in best practice.The family-operated company chooses to value best practice above all else. Important values, philosophies and ideals are kept in mind when formulating all aspects of programs. Research as well as parent feedback always guides our programs and operations. When we opened doors in 2013, we had 2 enrolled children and 4 staff members. Through our first year, we have grown more than ten-fold and continue heading in that direction. Through this exponential growth, we have never lost sight of the ideals and principles of excellence that the company was founded on. We welcome you to the Panache family and hope you find our focus on panache and excellence infectious!
