Nursery Griffin — Daycare & Preschool in Montreal, Quebec

What parents say

• Z Sh

  It was my son’s first time attending daycare and let me tell you that the transition was amazing. He has developed so much is all areas . My child’s educators ( Shahna and Immelda) are so much loving and caring. I am a very picky person and I went to see several daycares before Griffin but this one stood out in all aspects. Food is healthy and delicious with the finest ingredients used. The attention to details in this daycare and how important and special they consider each and every child is one of the few things to mention about this daycare.

  Second Family and Home for Our Little Boy and a Very Rare Gem to Find Finding the right daycare is one of the most important decisions for any parent, and choosing Nursery Griffin has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made for our boy. From the very first day, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, care, and professionalism from the entire team. The educators are not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate, treating each child with the same love and attention as their own. They have created a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore. Each day is thoughtfully structured with engaging activities that foster creativity, independence, and social development—ensuring that learning is always joyful and meaningful. Additionally, the director, Maï, goes above and beyond to create a diverse and enriching experience for the children. She carefully selects providers for additional classes such as music, dance, and yoga, ensuring that every offering enhances the children’s development. What truly sets her apart is her commitment to listening—she actively seeks feedback from parents and educators, making thoughtful decisions about whether to continue with a provider or explore new options that better serve the children’s needs. One of the things we appreciate most is the open and transparent communication. Our wonderful educators keep us updated with photos, progress reports, and thoughtful insights into our child’s day, giving us invaluable peace of mind. It’s evident that they genuinely care about each child’s well-being and development, going above and beyond to support their growth. Since joining Nursery Griffin, we’ve seen incredible progress in our little boy—greater confidence, improved communication skills, and a blossoming love for learning. It’s heartwarming to know that when we drop him off in the morning, he is not just in capable hands but in a place where he is truly happy and thriving. We believe that one of the main reasons Nursery Griffin is such an exceptional place is because of its director, Maï. She treats her educators like family, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and well taken care of. And let’s be honest—our children’s happiness in the classroom is directly tied to the happiness and satisfaction of their educators. This is simply a fact! Maï does an impeccable job leading with kindness, professionalism, and a genuine passion for early childhood education. Her dedication shines through in every aspect of the nursery, and her fantastic team reflects that same warmth and excellence. We couldn’t be more grateful for the loving, inspiring, and nurturing environment they’ve created! If you are looking for a daycare that gives you true peace of mind—one that feels like an extension of your own home, nurtures, educates, and loves your child like family—look no further than Nursery Griffin!!! From the bottom of our hearts—a HUGE thank you!

  The best daycare in the whole world! Moms&dads, I highly recommend you Griffin daycare. My daughter Emma had previous experience in another private daycare, but this one is an absolute TOP in the Griffintown/Downtown area. What benefits I found here: - Huge territory - New toys and equipment - Free parking - A lot of new decorations dedicated to every season/holiday - You all need to take off your shoes while entering (for me it’s very important). My daughter’s white socks remain white all the day, honestly - Unbelievable private secured backyard (under the roof and without the roof) with safe floor, water pads, bubbles, swimming pools, bicycles! - Every week activities. I can’t imagine where the educators draw inspiration! For example, we had Christmas party in August! :) - Yoga and music classes every week - Own kitchen with unbelievable dishes - Free coffee for all parents each Friday!!!! - Sunday update emails from daycare principal. Believe me, her long reads worth your time! I’m waiting for them every week. And the most important- PEOPLE!!! This is dream team, really! They all love kids so much! They are all professionals. They are all smiling and caring so much! So, if you need additional comments, please write to me. I honestly recommend this place. Regards Valeri and Emma

  Garderie Griffin is the best. The staff are so dedicated, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell they love where they work. My daughter loves it and learns something new from daycare every day. She also loves the food and always eats well. The daycare itself is clean and the classrooms are huge compared to any other daycare I visited. They also have a great outdoor space for the kids to play in all 4 seasons. Garderie Griffin is worth every penny!
