Licensed Preschool in Deux Montagnes, QC

Preschool in Deux Montagnes

Six licensed centres serve Deux-Montagnes, five of them carry enough Google ratings to be worth reading, and their average of 4.34 sits just under the 4.52 we calculate across the 1,848 Québec providers holding three ratings or more. The gap is small. What it tells you is that this town has no runaway favourite, which is not at all the same as saying there are no differences. Opinion here is split. Garderie Éducative Tam-Tam has the biggest review base in town at 25 ratings and averages 3.5, while CPE les Petits Patriotes has 14 ratings and averages 5.0, and both are licensed across the same range from poupon through preschool. So the difference between them is about how a room is run rather than who it serves. Read both sets of comments.

What to know about childcare in Deux Montagnes

Five of the six hold subsidized places. In Québec that decides whether you pay the reduced contribution or whatever the operator sets. The rate is $9.65 a day in 2026 and rises to $10.60 in January 2027. Garderie Éducative Académie Deux Montagnes is the exception on this list, a garderie non subventionnée that sets its own daily fee, so a family there pays the full amount at the door and recovers part of it months later through the provincial tax credit.

Age coverage is complete. All six list poupon, toddler and preschool places, which is normal for Québec, the one province where every provider in our records carries age bands and a missing band means a missing provider rather than a missing room. A complete licence is still not an open door. Capacity for children under 18 months is thin across the whole north shore, so a centre listing poupon is telling you what it may take and not what will be free in September.

Garderie la Gare-Gouille sits mid-pack at 4.5 from 13 ratings and Garderie Pom'Cannelle at 4.4 from seven. Centre de la Petite Enfance des Deux-Montagnes has six ratings and a 4.3. Six ratings is thin evidence. A CPE is a non-profit governed by a parent board rather than an owner, and for a lot of families in this town that structure carries more weight than a tenth of a star in either direction.

Deux-Montagnes sits on the exo commuter line into Montréal, so a centre near the station and one out toward Grande-Côte are not interchangeable when you are doing drop-off at 7:15 and catching a train four minutes later. Ask about the waiting list first. Most of these places register through the Portail d'inscription aux services de garde rather than taking names at the door.
