The rating picture in Candiac is softer than the provincial one. Five of the eleven centres carry enough Google reviews to score and they average 4.20, the second-lowest of the seven Quebec cities in this run and a third of a point under the provincial 4.52. Seven of the eleven offer reduced-contribution places, which works out to 64% against roughly 74% province-wide, so Candiac families face both a softer rating picture and a thinner subsidized pool than the Quebec norm. Neither gap is large. Both are real.
What to know about childcare in Candiac
Garderie la Joyeuse Marmaille holds 5.0 on three reviews, the smallest sample our scoring threshold allows, which is to say it is a score in the way a coin landing heads three times is a pattern. Les Petits Soleils d'Isabelle sits at 4.7 across 15 reviews, and that is the single most useful number on this page, because fifteen families is enough to smooth out one bad week without being so many that the score has stopped moving. The two Candiac listings with genuinely large review bases both sit at 3.8: Garderie les Minis Touche à Tout on 27 reviews and Garderie Kinderville TM de Candiac III on 26. Fifty-three families between them. When the two best-tested centres in a town both land at 3.8, that is worth reading carefully rather than filtering away, because it is the closest thing to a representative local signal available. Three Candiac operators run two sites each under near-identical names. Eleven listings, eight organizations. Age records are complete. Every listing records toddler and preschool placements, seven record infant, and none records school-age. That last part is the standard Quebec pattern.
Candiac sits in the Roussillon area on Montréal's South Shore, with Brossard at 38 listings and Longueuil at 78 within reach.

Tips for choosing childcare in Candiac
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 Candiac?
Eleven licensed centres. Five carry at least three Google reviews; the other six are unrated in our data.
What is the average daycare rating in Candiac?
4.20 across the five rated centres, below Quebec's 4.52 average. The two centres with the largest review bases both sit at 3.8.
Are there subsidized places in Candiac?
Seven of the 11 are recorded as offering reduced-contribution places, about 64%. The Quebec-wide share is closer to 74%, so expect somewhat more market-rate supply here.
Do Candiac daycares take infants?
Seven of the 11 record infant (poupon) placements. Register on La Place 0-5 early. A recorded placement means the permit allows it, not that a space is free.
How many daycares in Candiac publish their opening hours?
6 of the 11 licensed programmes MapleCub has on file in Candiac publish their hours. The rest have not listed opening and closing times, so call to confirm.
How many daycares in Candiac 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.
Ask about spots near you
We email the centre and ask whether they have room for your child's age group. If they answer, we send you what they said. We don't hold live vacancy data, and centres aren't obliged to reply.
