Enquête québécoise sur le développement des enfants à la maternelle 2022 : Portrait statistique pour le Québec et ses régions administratives

This document contains the results of the third edition of the Enquête sur le développement des enfants à la maternelle (EQDEM), which was conducted in 2022. More than 5,300 teachers took part in the survey by completing a questionnaire for each of their students enrolled in 5-year-old kindergarten. Information was gathered on nearly 80,600 children in kindergarten aged 5 in the five developmental domains: physical health and well-being, social skills, emotional maturity, cognitive and language (French,English, and/or other) development, and communication skills and general knowledge. The study found that 70.1% of children only learnt French as their first language, while 5.9% only learnt English first, and 1.9% learnt English and another language other than French first. A further 6.8% had neither French nor English as their mother tongue. In the other cases (17.2%), the children had at least two mother tongues, including French or English. This means that more than nine out of ten kindergarten 5-year-olds had French or English as their mother tongue.
