How to get on a waitlist in Bois-des-Filion

Licensed child care in Québec is applied for through the child care registration portal (Portail d'inscription aux services de garde).

  1. Create your family file (a government authentication account is required).
  2. Once your child is born, create their file and confirm their identity within 90 days (registration isn't possible before birth).
  3. Add your child to the waitlist of as many child care services as you want. After priority categories, your place counts from the start date you choose (or from the day you register, if that's later).
  4. Keep your file up to date; you usually have one to two days to accept an offered spot.

Ministère de la Famille Licensing

Bois-des-Filion's six centres average 4.40 across the four with enough ratings to count, a little below Québec's 4.52. The spread underneath matters more. Garderie Éducative Pomme d'Amour sits at 5.0 from eight ratings and Garderies Coffre à Jouets at 3.6 from seven. That is a wider gap than you will find in most towns this size, and it is a good reason to read the comments rather than sort by stars and stop there. Académie des Copains averages 4.9. Its 14 ratings are the largest review base in town, and it does not list poupon places. That matters if you need infant care.

What to know about childcare in Bois Des Filion

Four of the six are subsidized. Académie des Copains and Palais des Précieux are the two that are not, which means the town's highest-rated centre and its most-reviewed centre both sit outside the subsidized system. That is an unusual shape for the Laurentians, where the subsidized CPEs normally sit at the top of the ratings, and here the two CPE installations have no ratings at all, which leaves the town's cheapest places and its best-documented places sitting on opposite sides of the list.

Centre de la Petite Enfance les Amis d'À...bord runs both of those installations, Joseph-Paquette and l'Érablière. Neither carries a rating. Silence is common for CPEs, which fill through the Portail d'inscription aux services de garde and never need to court a review, so the absence of stars tells you nothing at all about the care inside.

Five of the six list poupon places, and all six list toddler and preschool. Québec's age data is complete. Unlike Ontario or British Columbia, where more than eight listings in ten carry no age bands at all and a search filtered by age quietly discards most of the market, these counts describe every provider in the municipality.

Bois-des-Filion is small, about seven square kilometres on the Rivière des Mille Îles, and it borders Rosemère, Lorraine and Terrebonne closely enough that parents here routinely register in two or three municipalities at once. That is the local habit. Nobody treats the municipal boundary as a search filter. If the six options here do not work out, Sainte-Rose and Laval-Ouest are a short drive across the bridge.

Tips for choosing childcare in Bois Des Filion

Verify Licensing

Confirm the centre holds a current provincial licence. A licence means the province checked baseline health, safety and staffing standards. It is a floor, not a ranking.

Read Parent Reviews

Reviews cover what an inspection report never will: what drop-off feels like, whether messages get answered, how long staff stay.

Ask About Curriculum

Ask what a Tuesday actually looks like. "Montessori" and "play-based" mean different things at different centres, so the daily schedule tells you more than the label does.

Consider Schedule Fit

Check the posted open and close times against your commute, not just your workday. Then ask what happens when you're late.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many daycares are in Bois-des-Filion?

Six licensed centres. All are installations rather than home-based care.

Which Bois-des-Filion daycares take subsidized places?

Four of the six. Académie des Copains and Palais des Précieux are listed as non-subsidized, so they set their own fees.

Which centres in Bois-des-Filion accept infants?

Five of the six list poupon places. Académie des Copains is the exception and starts at 18 months.

How many daycares in Bois Des Filion publish their opening hours?

3 of the 6 licensed programmes MapleCub has on file in Bois Des Filion publish their hours. The rest have not listed opening and closing times, so call to confirm.

How many daycares in Bois Des Filion have Google ratings?

4 carry a public Google rating with five or more reviews. Centres with fewer reviews than that are listed too, without a rating, because a rating built on two reviews is not evidence.

Which daycares in Bois Des Filion have the strongest Google ratings?

Among Bois Des Filion centres with enough reviews to judge, Garderie Éducative Pomme d'Amour holds 5.0★ (8 reviews), Académie des Copains Inc. holds 4.9★ (17 reviews), and Palais des Précieux holds 4.3★ (8 reviews). A small number of reviews is weak evidence: treat a handful of 5-star ratings as a starting point, not proof of quality.
