Licensed Preschool in Mont Royal, QC

Preschool in Mont Royal

Five of the ten licensed centres with a Mont-Royal address have enough Google reviews to publish a rating, and those five average 4.84. Québec's own figure is 4.52 and all five of the Mont-Royal scores sit at 4.5 or above, which looks decisive until you notice that four of those five rest on twelve reviews or fewer, and that the addresses spill across the Town of Mount Royal boundary into the Ferrier and Bates corridors most parents would call Outremont or Namur. Eight of the ten hold subsidized places. The other two don't.

What to know about childcare in Mont Royal

Garderie K.I.D.S. Première is the one score here with real weight behind it. It runs 4.6 across 46 reviews, split between porte A and porte B of the same rue Ferrier building, which is why two separate listings show an identical rating. Treat them as one operator with two rooms, and treat the 5.0 scores elsewhere in town as resting on considerably less. Garderie Éducative Ducharme on avenue Dunbar has twelve reviews. Both Aventuriers d'Outremont entries on chemin Bates have three apiece, the bare minimum before a rating appears at all.

Age licensing is complete for all ten, which Québec does better than any other province in this dataset. Seven take poupons. All ten run toddler and preschool groups, so the binding constraint in Mont-Royal is infant capacity rather than coverage in general, and a family needing care before the first birthday is choosing among seven addresses instead of ten.

Check the subsidy split before you fall in love with a place. Eight of the ten offer the reduced contribution. The other two are private garderies charging market rates, with the provincial tax credit arriving at tax time rather than at the door, and for a full-time place that gap runs to several thousand dollars a year. Phone and confirm. MapleCub records what the ministry published, not what a centre is quoting this month.
