Licensed Preschool in Cowansville, QC

Preschool in Cowansville

Every centre in Cowansville takes reduced-contribution places, every one is licensed for infants, and together they hold 374 places, which puts the town ahead of the province on both counts, since 74% of the centres in our data offer subsidized places and 81% cover the 0 to 12 month band. What Cowansville doesn't have is a review base. Not a single centre here has three. So the choosing has to be done in person.

What to know about childcare in Cowansville

Two of the five listings belong to one operator. Centre à la Petite Enfance le Papillon Bleu runs an installation on rue du Sud with 62 places and a second, les Étincelles, on boulevard J.-André-Déragon with 80, while the other three are CPE le Zèbre Carotté on rue Principale at 75 places, CPE les Tisserands on rue Laurier at 78, and Garderie Éducatif Petit Stars on rue Church at 79. Five addresses, four operators.

Opening hours are on record for three of them. Les Tisserands opens at 6:30 in the morning, both Papillon Bleu installations open at 6:45, and all three close at 6 in the evening, so if you're leaving Cowansville for a commute toward Granby or Bromont that 6:30 start is the one to note. The other two haven't said.

Four of the five list a website, but none has accumulated three or more Google reviews against roughly half of Quebec listings that have, which leaves the phone call and the site visit doing all the work of comparison here. Registration for subsidized places runs through the Portail d'inscription aux services de garde, the provincial waiting list, so put your name there before you start calling individual installations. Then ask how each list actually works. That is not a formality.
