Licensed Daycares in Mercier, QC

Daycare & Childcare in Mercier

Mercier's ratings are spread wide. Six providers carry enough Google reviews to be worth reading, and they run from 2.7 stars up to a clean 5.0, which is a far broader range than the 4.52 Quebec average would lead you to expect. That spread is the story. In most towns the ratings cluster so tightly that they tell a parent nothing; in Mercier they actually separate the field. Génie Tout Petit sits at the bottom at 2.7 across six reviews. Six reviews is still six reviews. It is a signal worth investigating on a visit rather than a verdict, and the sister listing Génies Tout Petits II sits at 3.6 across nine, which suggests something more than one disgruntled family.

What to know about childcare in Mercier

At the other end, Garderie Monsieur Peluche and Garderie Éducative Mille et un Souvenirs both show 5.0 stars. Seven reviews and four reviews respectively, which is thin enough that a single unhappy family would move either number substantially, so treat a perfect score built on a handful of reviews as encouraging rather than proven. CPE Patachou sits at 4.2.

Every Mercier provider takes infants. All nine are licensed for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, and Quebec is the one province in our data that reports age groups on every single row, so that is a complete count rather than the floor we are stuck quoting in Ontario and British Columbia. For a town this size, universal infant licensing is genuinely unusual.

Six of the nine flag reduced-contribution participation, below the Quebec average of about seventy-four percent. The other three are likely non-subsidised garderies charging market rates with a provincial tax credit available afterwards, which is a real difference in monthly cash flow even when the annual cost lands in a similar place. MapleCub lists installations only. Milieu familial providers are not in our Quebec data at all, so this page is not a complete picture of home-based care in Mercier.
