Licensed Preschool in Kirkland, QC

Preschool in Kirkland

Six of Kirkland's nine providers take infants. In a West Island suburb where a lot of households have two working parents and a commute into central Montreal, that is the number that decides whether a return-to-work date is realistic, and six out of nine is better coverage than most of Quebec manages, including several boroughs with three times the population. All nine take toddlers. Ratings here are solid, averaging 4.68 across the four providers that carry enough reviews to be worth weighing. That is above the provincial 4.52.

What to know about childcare in Kirkland

Les Trésors de Marie-Claire carries twenty-six reviews at 4.7 stars, the deepest review base in Kirkland by a wide margin. The related La Maternelle de Marie-Claire shows a flat 5.0, but on four reviews, and the pattern of one well-established site plus a smaller newer sibling is common enough in Quebec that parents should check which one they are actually being offered a place at. They are not the same.

Three of nine clear 4.5. The Centre de la Petite Enfance Deux Par Deux sits at 4.8 across eight reviews. Garderie Monchhichi is the lowest of the rated group at 4.2 across thirteen, which is a perfectly ordinary score and one built on enough reviews to be more informative than several of the higher numbers on this page.

Eight of nine take the reduced contribution. That is well ahead of the Quebec average of roughly seventy-four percent, and it means a Kirkland family has a good chance of paying the provincial rate rather than market rates followed by a tax credit reconciliation months later. One does not. Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield are the obvious next search when nothing opens up locally, and both are close enough that a Kirkland family rarely treats the municipal boundary as a real limit.
