Garderie Montessori du Connaught Montessori Daycare II — Daycare & Preschool in Gatineau, Quebec

What parents say

• Rose Queen

  Discrimination against children with special needs like autism or speech delay.(so if you child has special need not a good place for them). Ownership: this daycare has 3 owners all of which act as Directors and none of them have a background in education; this overly complicates things as sometimes they are not in the same page and everything they want is money. Food: the menu sounds wonderful and looks even fancy on paper but a number of items are not fresh(cans) yes, a lot of can food. Prices: Their prices keep increasing year over year and the worst is that they pay minimum wage to the staff. Rotation: they don't seem to be able to retain educators. My son had 5 educators in 1 year. Montessori program: Only a few educators has the Montessori training (3 out of 15). some educator does not even have a diploma to work with kids.

  WOW - amazing daycare! As a new mom, you are always scared to send your first baby to daycare after spending months with them at home. But I must say, all the staff made me feel super comfortable and knew exactly how it is leaving your child at day care for the first time. My baby is finally one and she ADORES her teacher. She doesn't even cry when I leave her, she puts her arms up right away towards her. She is always in a great mood after I pick her up. The food is incredible !!! A very nice variety for them and also a nice little cupcake to bring home on her birthday which was very sweet. When my daughter was not feeling well and was finally over her cold but still not 100%, they would send me updates and they are very responsive by email when there is anything at all. Every afternon they send me a detailed message of her day and what she played with + how her day is going. They maintain COVID related issues such as not letting parents in the classes, one way exits, one parent at a time, sanitisers etc. As a new mom, I cant ask for a better daycare and so happy I can go back to work at ease knowing my daughter is well taken care of!

  Fantastic! We were very apprehensive sending our one year old off to daycare. We visited many places and Connaught was the place for our son. The facility is very clean, secure, the staff are all extremely nice and most of all our son's teacher Bianca is awesome! She's always smiling, sends us daily updates and most of all really cares about him. He loves going to daycare and we feel very comfortable with him there. We would recommend Connaught to anyone!

  Great daycare. My son was always happy to go every morning. Fresh food, nurturing environment, engaging activities and educational focus. He was well prepared for school.

• Joseph Romano

  Excellent, clean, spacious, great educators, very educational for the children. We found that the Montessori Daycare has advanced our children to a level well advanced when entering into school. We are very happy and grateful to have had our children graduate from the Montessori Daycare.
