If you're in Quebec: how did you find daycare?

Posted by Saraline , Tuesday, February 1, 2011 12:19 PM

Parenting comes with many challenges and it is essential that we help each other. A huge issue for many of us is finding a daycare.

I posted a few months ago about how I found a spot in a $7 a day daycare in Quebec. One person sent me an email telling me that she tried the same thing and going to a CLSC did not work for her.

I would like to hear stories from other people about how they found daycare in Quebec. You can comment on this post or send me an email. The goal is to be able to give other parents some ideas about where they can start when looking for daycare. So what worked for you? What didn't work? Tell us everything!

I wish I could help. We have so much trouble finding a place that would take him a couple days a month.

I did retweet it though so more people can see and respond.

My daughter is in a private daycare in Montreal. My trick was that I called every couple of months so that they wouldn`t forget me. I also made an appoinment to visit the daycare. I made myself very present. Eventually she got in at 14 months.

I used the centralized waiting list at http://www.enfancefamille.org/_home their waiting time for a spot in a subsidized daycare is 1.5 years.

By the way, if you are an undergraduate university student, you should apply for a spot at the student daycare of your school. Their waiting lists (for undergrads) are usually a lot shorter.

@ TeawithFrodo, have you tried finding a spot in a Halte garderie? they are a lot easier to get into.
