How to get on a waitlist in Westmount

Licensed child care in Québec is applied for through the child care registration portal (Portail d'inscription aux services de garde).

  1. Create your family file (a government authentication account is required).
  2. Once your child is born, create their file and confirm their identity within 90 days (registration isn't possible before birth).
  3. Add your child to the waitlist of as many child care services as you want. After priority categories, your place counts from the start date you choose (or from the day you register, if that's later).
  4. Keep your file up to date; you usually have one to two days to accept an offered spot.

Ministère de la Famille Licensing

Garderie K.I.D.S. Westmount holds 4.9 across thirty-seven Google reviews, and its second site, K.I.D.S. Westmount II, holds a clean 5.0 across twenty-four. Between them they account for most of the review volume in the city, which is unusual for a municipality of twenty thousand people and makes the top of this short list unusually well evidenced. Westmount is a separate municipality sitting inside the island of Montreal, and MapleCub lists seven licensed centres inside its boundaries. Five have enough reviews to average. The mean across those five is 4.72, comfortably above the Quebec figure of 4.52 that we calculate from more than eighteen hundred rated centres.

What to know about childcare in Westmount

Infant places are the pinch point. Only two of the seven are licensed for poupons. That is a far tighter ratio than the toddler and preschool coverage, where all seven qualify, and because Quebec's registry records age bands for every licensed service in the province, this is a real gap rather than a hole in our data.

Five of the seven are subventionnees. That group includes CPE Terre des Enfants at 4.1 and CPE Narnia at 5.0, though Narnia's figure rests on seven reviews and should be read lightly against the volume the two K.I.D.S. sites have accumulated. Two charge market rates: Garderie Fun Academy, which holds 4.6 from twenty-eight reviews, and Foundation School Day Care Center, which has no ratings at all.

None of the seven is a home-based service. Quebec records no milieu familial in Westmount, which is consistent with the province as a whole in this dataset, where home-based providers are registered through coordinating offices rather than listed as separate services. Parents wanting that format generally look to Notre-Dame-de-Grace or Saint-Henri.

Intake runs through the Portail d'inscription aux services de garde. Waitlists in this part of the island run long, and two years is common for an infant place, so register as soon as your child is born, well before your desired start date.

Tips for choosing childcare in Westmount

Verify Licensing

Confirm the centre holds a current provincial licence. A licence means the province checked baseline health, safety and staffing standards. It is a floor, not a ranking.

Read Parent Reviews

Reviews cover what an inspection report never will: what drop-off feels like, whether messages get answered, how long staff stay.

Ask About Curriculum

Ask what a Tuesday actually looks like. "Montessori" and "play-based" mean different things at different centres, so the daily schedule tells you more than the label does.

Consider Schedule Fit

Check the posted open and close times against your commute, not just your workday. Then ask what happens when you're late.
