18 licensed daycares in Outremont, QC

Daycare & Childcare in Outremont

Outremont packs 18 child care services into under four square kilometres, which changes how a search here works: most of these are walkable from most of the borough, so the usual trade-off between location and everything else largely disappears. Judge on fit instead. The review data is unusually deep for one service in particular: Les Lilliputiens holds 5.0 across 62 Google reviews, one of the strongest records anywhere in our Quebec data, with Garderie et Maternelle Petits Bouts de Choux at 5.0 from 17 behind it. Nine of the 18 services carry three or more reviews, averaging 4.56 against a Quebec average of 4.52. Thirteen hold reduced-contribution places, close to the provincial 73.9%. The constraint worth noting early: only 10 of the 18 are licensed for infants, the thinnest infant ratio among the Quebec cities in this batch.

What to know about childcare in Outremont

Take the infant number seriously, because it is the one place Outremont underperforms. Ten of 18 services are licensed for under-18-month care, where most Quebec cities in this dataset sit closer to 80 or 90 percent of their services. Combine that with pouponnière ratios (the tightest of any age group) and the practical pool for a baby in Outremont is small. If that is your situation, widen the search across the borough boundary early; Mile End, Villeray and Côte-des-Neiges are all within a short trip and are part of the same Montreal system.

The density is the compensating advantage. Eighteen services in a borough this compact means walking distance is realistic for most families, which removes the commute variable that dominates searches in suburban cities. It also means you can visit four or five in an afternoon (worth doing, because visiting is what the review data cannot substitute for).

On reviews, Les Lilliputiens is the outlier worth understanding. Sixty-two reviews averaging 5.0 is a far stronger claim than the four- and five-review perfect scores that fill most of this dataset; sixty-two families agreeing is hard to explain away. Petits Bouts de Choux at 5.0 from 17 is also well above the usual evidence threshold. CPE le Coin des Enfants de l'Avenue du Parc shows 5.0 from 6, which is encouraging but slight. Nine services have too few reviews to place at all.

Thirteen of 18 hold reduced-contribution places at $9.65 a day, rising to $10.60 in January 2027; five charge market fees offset later by the provincial tax credit. Register on the Portail d'inscription aux services de garde regardless. Position dates from enrolment. And note our Quebec data covers installations only, so milieu familial options in the area, coordinated through a bureau coordonnateur, will not appear here.
