Restoration and conversion of the Elm Grove Villa into a bright daycare that promotes free movement.

Villa Montessori daycare is part of a heritage revitalization initiative at the heart of the CHSLD Domaine St Dominique in Quebec City. The project breathes new life into the historic Villa Elm Grove—once home to the founding Dominican sisters—through meticulous restoration and the creation of a bright, spacious educational environment that fosters children’s autonomy. The design emphasizes free motor skills, a strong connection to nature, and the comfort of the educational team.
