Learning through play
Passe-Temps was founded by a teacher who wanted her students to learn through play. Since 1996, this playful approach has remained at the heart of our philosophy, and we have become a trusted reference in educational games, whether in the classroom, during interventions, or at home through our Placote brand. We believe in the power of play and that learning can be enjoyable, regardless of the subject or the learning challenges children may face.
Notre histoire
It all began in 1996, when Thérèse Daignault, a dynamic teacher, wanted to make learning fun for her students through play.
She began creating her first educational computer workshops. Very quickly, her colleagues realized the power of learning through play and saw how much fun the students had with her products. They all asked her for copies for their own classes. One thing led to another, and Éditions Passe-Temps was created.
The young family business quickly became successful and began to expand its product range. Initially designed exclusively for elementary school students, the range quickly grew to include preschool, elementary school, and secondary school students, and a new range was developed for students requiring speech therapy or special education support.
