  My daughter Sophia attended the Montessori daycare on Van Horne from August 2020 to July 2023. She is our fourth child so we know a lot about daycares. From the first day, we knew she would be happy, and she thrived there for 3 years. She loved going every day, never complained. Everyone is kind and dynamic. She got so many pearls from the day to day teachings from her educators, every moment was a teaching occasion. She remembered what she learned and told us about it. They went outside to play at the park regardless of the weather. There were many projects, holiday celebrations, outings (sugar shack, library etc) and their graduation party was awesome: they prepared a whole Indian dance, wore traditional costumes, took graduation pictures and all. So many wonderful memories for Sophia and us. All of this in a nurturing, loving and safe environment. Thank you Joyce (our director), Chahra, Violetta, Lafleur, Indranie, Diana, Simran…Sophia still remembers and talks about you. You really made a huge positive difference in her life.

  Wonderful place! My son (Lorenzo, 2 years and 9 months at the time) started attending this school in May 2021 after a bad experience at a very expensive place in Pointe Claire, so I was really cautious to say the less. I talked to Joyce, the principal of the school, and I had a very good feeling: she is kind and loving but also clear and direct, I really appreciated her honesty and she made me and my son feel very confident during our first appointment. Paperwork was made simple and quickly and then the real challenge started: first day of school. The work of the team at the school was amazing, he was with Violetta and some days with Diana: Lorenzo not only had a great time since the first day (moving from 4 to 6 daily hours in less than a month), but was toilet trained in less than two weeks, and acquired great social skills during his stay there. He became really fond of both the teachers and they were truly helpful at communicating his struggles or achievements with me, on a daily basis. I believe these were the most productive three months in his life. At school, children speak english and french alternatively, they seem happy and caring and they come back home relaxed and smiling. They go to the pool twice a week (!) and do plenty of outdoors and indoors activities. The food is great. Surprisingly, the school is not only reliable and great but also really affordable. I am so grateful to all the team! I highly recommend the place to everyone looking for a safe, warm and welcoming place to leave their children.
