Montessori Mes Petits Academy — Daycare & Preschool in North Vancouver, British Columbia

What parents say

• Jayne Joseph-Nidua

  My daughter attended Montessori Mes Petits Academy for almost 2 years. She started at 2.5 years old and loved it. She liked wearing the uniform every day and it was easy for us in the mornings knowing what she would wear. They teach French every day and have a curriculum, which prepares children to move into kindergarten. The teachers are well educated and genuinely care for the children.

  My daughter attended Mes Petits from September 2015 - August 2016 (from age 4 until she started Kindergarten). Coming from a small home-based daycare, I thought it would be a great transition for her to ready her for kindergarten. It was a great choice. She learned so much there and really enjoyed attending. She bonded with the teachers and made great friendships that have lasted although they don't attend the same school now. For me, it was important that she was happy and well-cared for. Everything else was a bonus! I would highly recommend Montessori Mes Petits.

  My two boys attended the Mes Petits and they truly enjoyed their time there. They had tons of play time as well as education. They would come home and start singing in French and telling me this word means this in French. The daycare provides healthy snack. Very convenient if you don't put snack for your child. At times I forgot their lunch bags and the staff helped out with their lunch. Convenient location and park is right by. The owner plans trips and musical plays which is a nice change for children. Kind and caring staff. Overall happy with the daycare.

  Our daughter was at Montessori Mes Petits Academy for two years; it was her first experience in a care program and we have been so happy with the entire experience. We did an extensive amount of research on full-day care and education programs in North Vancouver; after attending an open house and learning more about the program, the school, and the teachers, we decided to send our child to this school. Overall, a terrific school: a Montessori-based structured care and education program (with French language learning included) in a full-day program that provided excellent preparation for Kindergarten. Lots of time in the daily schedule for learning, balanced nicely by activities and time outside for play (as well as other special days out). The teachers were firm, not tolerating poor behavior, but also very kind and caring. Our daughter was happy going this school, enjoyed learning, made great friends, and adored and respected her teachers.

  Over the last two years I have had both my sons attend Montessori Mes Petits. We have been thoroughly impressed with the care and the genuine affection the teachers have had for our children during this time. There is an excellent balance at Mes Petits between free/outside play and preschool academic activities. The enclosed park behind the school is clean, safe, and a step above the outside play areas I saw at many other daycares. My sons (esp my younger one who attended for two years) have gained so much from their time here- from introductory French, to music classes, to learning about geography, letters, writing, cultural celebrations, etc. We are very thankful to Ms Ana, Ms Natalia and all the other teachers who have cared for our sons in the last two years and highly recommend this daycare
