About us

Created in 2020 by the National Commission of Francophone Parents (CNPF), Econo Coop was born out of the desire to turn the challenges of the early childhood sector into concrete opportunities. Faced with major issues such as the shortage of qualified staff, lack of suitable spaces, complex governance, and heavy operational burdens, the National Commission of Francophone Parents (CNPF) launched this cooperative to support, strengthen, and develop educational child care services in Canada.
