CPE Aux Petits Campagnards cares for over 120 children across two locations. Like many childcare centers, managing schedules, especially during the busy summer season, used to be a major headache, with replacements piling up. Last summer, Assistant Director Andrée Potvin faced this challenge head-on. Overwhelmed by calls, texts, sticky notes, and last-minute requests, she spent every morning scrambling to manage the chaos.
“I was completely drained,” she recalls. That’s when General Director Maxime Roy-Patry, already looking for solutions, suggested giving Agendrix a try. They decided to go for it, despite a complex implementation due to their rotating schedules, which can span up to eight weeks.
Today, despite the demanding start, the daycare’s management wouldn’t go back. Agendrix has helped centralize requests, empower staff, and, most importantly, free up time and reduce mental strain for the leadership team. A transformative shift that’s changed their daily reality.

Excel
Managers created the base schedule in Excel, planning four months ahead. But with constant changes, keeping it up to date was difficult.
8 hours
Requests came in via text, calls, or paper—scattered everywhere. Managing changes took about two hours a day, and key information often slipped through the cracks.
1 hour
There was no clear process. Staff sent updates at the last minute through various channels, requiring follow-ups.

Agendrix
Setting it up was time-consuming, but now that it’s in place, adjustments are quick and easy.
4 hours
Requests are centralized in the app, with notifications and quick approvals. In summer, however, a few extra steps are needed to cover last-minute morning absences.
Instant
Staff now enter their own availability, reducing oversight and encouraging autonomy.

Why Agendrix
- Centralized requests and replacements: No more Sunday night calls, everything goes through the app.
- Time saved every morning: Andrée used to spend two hours a day managing replacements. Now: during peak periods, 1 hour is enough.
- Staff accountability: Educators handle their own schedules and availability, without needing to be chased.
- Reduced admin pressure: Management sees real, lasting gains in efficiency and peace of mind.
After the summer we had, I never wanted to go through that again. Agendrix gave me back control and peace of mind.
