Reviews of Montessori Mes Petits Academy (Kindergarten)

Jayne Joseph-Nidua

My daughter attended Montessori Mes Petits Academy for almost 2 years. She started at 2.5 years old and loved it. She liked wearing the uniform every day and it was easy for us in the mornings knowing what she would wear. They teach French every day and have a curriculum, which prepares children to move into kindergarten. The teachers are well educated and genuinely care for the children.

They are so caring and knowledgeable. They know how to make the environment friendly and home like that the children can feel comfortable at the same time they educate them very well. Every day crafts and art. Expert staff and clean environment

My daughter was enrolled in Montessori Mes Petit Academy, and she loved this place. We were very grateful, the teachers were incredibly caring and kind, the park adjacent is awesome and safe. The facilities are always cleaning and fresh. In this sensitive time we are testimonial about how Miss Ana guided this situation with transparency, caring and compassion. We always felt welcome and loved. We highly recommend this preschool. We just left because we are moving out of Vancouver. We want to thank miss Ana and her incredible staff for taking such good care of our daughter.

I've been very happy with this preschool. My child has had a great time, and he's had great learning development as well. The only down side is the mandatory uniform, which I've never liked.

I've known this daycare for the past 4 years now. Supper nice and clean environment, with so many new ideas for children learning and improvement. Children are so happy in this daycare.

I am really surprised how parents cannot write about careless staff ,,, I had my kid go to this day care & the staff did not care at all , he was not wearing proper cloths in winter to go out , proper footwear was not taken care off , a 4 year old will not decide to wear required clothing or not , he needs to be told , only one or two staff members are attantive rest are just trainees and don't bother and blame it on the kid , no attention on his finishing his food .. I think for few ppl it's a $$ making business , give this fee ,, that deposit and that dose not get refunded ,, I really don't understand why all that much and NO' attention !!!! SAD !! ,,, I would think a 100 times & if I was not new to the society I would not go here at all ... PLEASE MAKE A WISE DECISION !!!

The teachers at Mes Petits are wonderful. Our kiddo had a great time there and we highly recommend!

My daughter was excited to go to school each morning to see her friends and teachers. She felt safe and loved, and I never worried about her wellbeing in their care. The teachers made sure to take the children outside everyday for plenty of fresh air and free play, which was really great. I look forward to having my son attend once he's old enough. Mes Petits worked perfectly for us.

After a bad experience with a family daycare in downtown, I found Mes Petits by one of my friend's recommendation. I can just say that they were good enough to worth it drive all the way from downtown everyday to take my son and pick up him. All the teachers are brilliant and patient, specially Miss Safa. Miss Ana also is so caring and welcoming. You can be confident that your child is in good hands.The school interior is organized, clean and colourful. Also there is a great park right beside the school which children enjoy their daily outdoor time there. Highly recommended.

My child went to Mes Petits for nearly 2 years including through Covid. The teachers are caring and kind. The outside space is awesome. The other parents are very friendly.

Jason Kowalski

Everything about this school created a wonderful experience for our daughter. Love the Montessori method - and a big thank you to the teachers and management! - Chantal and Jason Kowalski

Ekaterina Egorova

It has been very positive experience for our son. He loved going to day care every single day. The teachers are so kind and polite with him and always teach kids to be organized, polite, clean after they played. A lot of creative work, lots of play time outside, beautiful fenced park behind the daycare, french classes every day. Perfect center for the kid to be. We are moving to another city and will be missing this daycare for sure.

Chantal Kowalski

We had two of our children attend Montessori Mes Petit and give them 5+ stars! Grateful for the level of quality care this school provides. A true asset to North Vancouver. Thank you Ana and team!

I have time to write this review because my daughter doesn’t want to leave! She runs to school in the morning and often wants to stay later. I have an a teacher with Montessori training and I am impressed with the classroom structure and curriculua. The teachers are so caring and attuned to the kids. I highly recommend this learning environment.

Lauren Howard

Mes Petits is truly a wonderful place. Our children learned so much during their time there and grew socially, emotionally, and academically under the staff's care and curriculum. Highly recommend!

I used to be in this daycare for more than two years. I want to thank the amazing management and all the kind staff. They created a warm welcoming environment for children to learn in, and the manager was constantly learning new ways to improve the system for the benefit of children.

Kalina McLean

An experience that transformed my twins into young gentlemen. I found a haven for my boys that allowed them to create, learn, play and enjoy the outdoors each day. Ana and her teaching team cherished my children like I do. They created a safe haven that the boys made friends, learned how to problem solve, and be independent. I loved that they had uniforms as it created a unification with the kids. Mes Petits also had fun field trips for the kids and special events that were highlights through the year. (Nutcracker, movie, Santa etc) The fact that the school backs onto St. Andrews park makes it just perfection. I was so happy and sad as my boys graduated to kindergarten. The boys were able to leave with an introduction to French for their entrance of French immersion program.

Mes Petits is the place where my daughter began her journey of becoming independent learner, in a supportive community. Their highly qualified teachers carefully guide the children and provide extra attention and challenges as needed. There are many things to love about this school: the academics, the art and the french language programs. But what's most important to me is the personal connections that each one of their teachers has made with my daughter and how much they have helped her grow. I will give it an excellent rating and hope that you will visit and judge for yourselves.

My two boys attended the Mes Petits and they truly enjoyed their time there. They had tons of play time as well as education. They would come home and start singing in French and telling me this word means this in French. The daycare provides healthy snack. Very convenient if you don't put snack for your child. At times I forgot their lunch bags and the staff helped out with their lunch. Convenient location and park is right by. The owner plans trips and musical plays which is a nice change for children. Kind and caring staff. Overall happy with the daycare.

My daughter went to this daycare for 2 years. No complaint about the facility or the teachers. At the end, I was very disappointed with the owner regarding receiving the deposit back. She deducted the late fees from the deposit (even the ones I paid already and she charged more than what was in the Parent Handbook). I am still dealing with this issue and filing a complaint to BBA North Vancouver. If you send your kid there, please make sure to receive a receipt for late fees each time you pay. They should collect the fees for each late pickup instead of deducting from the deposit at the end of the term based on their time tracker as no one remembers if they are all accurate or not. For example, for me, the tracker shows 1 hour late when Julianna was away (not even at the care). So wrong business practice and I have little tolerance for it.

Ghazal Ghaffari

My son went to Montessori Mes Petites pre-school for 1 year. He became very independent with Montessori method of learning. Also, I loved the park right behind the school that kids could play around and discover the world. Well-managed and clean environment for children.

My daughter attended this preschool since she was 2.5 until she was 5. There is an enclosed park right behind the facility and they spent a lot of time there exploring weather permitting. They arranged (pre-Covid) to attend many shows and performances within the north shore and also field trips throughout the year. Cleanliness and safety was important to the staff. Every time we had issues with something which was just a couple of times, we felt heard and we felt like it was worked on which is very important. My second child is 2 years old and she will also be going there as well with her cousin who is also her age. Thank you to all the staff and owners for taking such great care of my daughter for 2.5 years.

As a person involved in education for over 20 years, I have met and talked to numerous teachers at all levels, so when I talked to Montesori's staff at an educational fair at West Vancouver Community Centre a while ago, I quickly noticed how confident and knowledgeable they were, and I was really impressed by their pleasant attitude. When a friend asked me to recommend a daycare in N.V, I had this feeling that Mes Petits' staff were the right people to take care of her daughter, and I'm glad I was right! A few months later, my friend thanked me a lot for introducing Mes Petit Academy. She told me how caring, knowledgeable and kind the teachers are. It's so amazing that the positive impression the daycare's staff had left on me is fully reflected in the way they treat our young ones. I'm so thankful to Mes Petit's staff and management and I will definitely recommend them again.

My daughter has been attending Montessori Mes Petits for about five months. She has such fun experiences and adventures and makes lots of friends. Her teachers were great! They were kind, caring and attentive with the children.

Hedieh Noroozi

My son started going to Mes petits a year ago! He loves going there everyday and it gives me piece of mind! He used to be a very shy kid, but he has changed a lot since he has started going there! Miss Ana and teachers are very nice and great with kids!

Michelle Callaghan

Our daughter was at Montessori Mes Petits Academy for two years; it was her first experience in a care program and we have been so happy with the entire experience. We did an extensive amount of research on full-day care and education programs in North Vancouver; after attending an open house and learning more about the program, the school, and the teachers, we decided to send our child to this school. Overall, a terrific school: a Montessori-based structured care and education program (with French language learning included) in a full-day program that provided excellent preparation for Kindergarten. Lots of time in the daily schedule for learning, balanced nicely by activities and time outside for play (as well as other special days out). The teachers were firm, not tolerating poor behavior, but also very kind and caring. Our daughter was happy going this school, enjoyed learning, made great friends, and adored and respected her teachers.

The bestteacher hearand is good staff techer in her have a lot activity and have a techer music class and lerning new words every day . Good location because have a beg park in the school .

Neda Nouri

My son went to Montessori Mes Petits for 2 years. He started going there when he was 3 years old. He loved his school, every morning he was happy going there to play with his friends and learn new things. As a mom that was a big relief for me seeing my kid going to preschool happy every day. School has a great location and the classrooms are big and bright. There is a gated park in front of the school that the kids love playing there everyday. School arranges many different field trips during the year which are really good and entertaining for kids. Teachers are nice and my boy learned a lot while he was going there.

Rita Atwan

One of the best decision we have made is to send our son to Montessori Mes petits, worth the drive from downtown to the north shore back and fourth everyday! Very well kept space, clean and safe, teachers are all knowledgeable and reliable. Great management. Amazing 2 years my son had spent at this pre-school, it prepared him very well for kindergarten. Even after moving to a different province, my son still asks about all his teachers. He was very well surrounded, loved and educated.

Rebecca Rowley

Our daughter attended Mes Petits Academy for two years. I would highly recommend the school and teachers. There is a wonderful sense of calmness in the classrooms, lots of outdoor play (with a fabulous gated park right behind the facility), a focus on Montessori learning, immaculately clean, and very loving and caring teachers. Our daughter went to many plays and activities within the local community as part of well organized field trips and will miss her time there. Anyone who is lucky enough to have their child attend will be happy knowing their child is safe and engaged with mes petits (also they transformed my non napper into a happy napper?!)

Edwin Koehn

I have nothing but good things to say about Montessori Mes Petits Academy. It is very rewarding as a parents to acknowledge our son is in good hands and the teachers play a very important roll in our sons daily development.

Venus Abdolhoseini

My son attended Mes Petits for 9 months before going to kindergarten and enjoyed his time there. I was especially very happy with Ms Azar and Ms. Emilia. Ms. Emilia helped my son educationally to be prepared for kindergarten, and Ms. Azar was very attentive, calm, and caring. I also like the fact that there is a park next to the daycare so children get to play and discover outdoor world every day. Ms. Ana arranged for Kids to be taken to different shows and events throughout the year which was very fun and exciting. I would recommend this daycare to any parent who's looking for a place for their children.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how highly we recommend Mes Petits. The teachers are strict, but loving. The kids play a lot but also spend a lot of time on reading and writing. The business is very organized, but also very reasonable, honest and fair. The owner is excellent and it is obvious that she has a lot of respect for her staff, the parents and the kids. The kids do a lot of field trips (to plays, amusement parks, etc) and the owner organizes extra events on occasion (Christmas concerts, pumpkin carvings in the evening, class photos, etc). We are amazed at how much our child has learned- it was obviously an environment where learning and curiosity were encouraged. We are sad to leave Mes Petits but are excited to see our child go to Kindergarten carrying everything she learned in daycare. Everyone who works there is very dedicated to their work and very focused on educating and caring for the kids. Finally, I must add that the prices are very good, and the owner is very organized when it comes to applying for the provincial rebate and passing the savings onto the parents in a timely and transparent manner, which is highly appreciated. Merci!

Very well structured daycare. I moved my kids from back to basic daycare to Montessori Me's petite daycare and they are safe and happy in this daycare

Reza Yazdiha

Mespetits has been so good for our daughter! She learnt so many new things. The activities are wonderful. Lots of creative work. They are very personable. The school is always clean and inviting. Lots of play time in the beautiful fenced park behind the daycare. The love and attention the staff providing is amazing. We highly recommend this preschool. Many thanks to them for taking such good care of our daughter!

Mes Petits is a solid trustworthy daycare. Anna and the teachers are great. It's really an educational-oriented opposed to a baby sitting daycare with music, french, spelling and art lessons. The teachers are gentle but stern making sure they have fun within a safe and disciplined educational environment. Plus it has access to a huge fenced off playground for everyday activities in the healthy outdoor. All around awesome.

Caralyn Laviolette

My daughter attended Mes Petits from September 2015 - August 2016 (from age 4 until she started Kindergarten). Coming from a small home-based daycare, I thought it would be a great transition for her to ready her for kindergarten. It was a great choice. She learned so much there and really enjoyed attending. She bonded with the teachers and made great friendships that have lasted although they don't attend the same school now. For me, it was important that she was happy and well-cared for. Everything else was a bonus! I would highly recommend Montessori Mes Petits.

Well done management! I love Miss Anna. She is so organized and she really takes care of the academy and for sure the kids.

Natalia Zaicenco

Two happy years for my son at Mes Petits -making new friends, learning new skills and just having fun! He would actually cry at pick-up and I was under orders not to show up too early in the afternooon. The location is great, and having access to a safe, gated park is an added bonus.

Shima Gerani

My son goes to this daycare. He is excited to go to daycare every morning and comes home happy every day. He used to go to another daycare before and we had hard time convincing him to go to the daycare every morning!

Jordana Pourian

My daughter goes to this school. She had a nanny from 0-3 and started at 3 at Mes Petits. The learning and care she has received during her time thus far consistently shows through in her development. She is growing into a smart young lady, who is happy and more knowledgable when she comes home each day. They have a school environment which is disciplined and structured, while also ensuring there is play time and as much outdoor activity as the weather permits. When I have questions or concerns, they are professionally answered, making me feel very much a part of what my daughter experiences each day.

Doug Bingeman

This preschool is amazing. Both of my children have gone here and are way better off for it. The Montessori program is top notch, and the teachers are Wonderful.

Steve M

My son has been enrolled at Montessori Mes Petits for two years now and what I can say about Mes Petits is that my son is happy. He is excited to get up in the morning, to go to school, and to see his friends. When I pick him up, he is very proud to tell me what he has learned and to show me what he has produced that day. The school is bright, spacious and clean and the staff have a connection to the students. The review of "bel song" is crass and has no basis in reality. The fact of the matter is that kids do catch a cold and pass it on to others, no different that any other environment, whether it's a university or the office. I find nothing about the school that is any different than any other school. Proof of this is that I have already enrolled my two year old in Montessori Mes Petits for January 2018.

Jenna Mawjee

My daughter was in their care for just over 2 years. The teachers and staff provided a safe, nurturing, and caring environment for my daughter. By the time she left she was an independent, confident and self aware young lady. Many thanks to them for taking such good care of her!

Worst preschool in North Shore. I wish I could do zero star. Poor management and ignorant staff. If you want your child came home with different disease and lice on her head enroll her in this filthy preschool.
