The Learning Tree

Impersonal, disorganized daycare. Maybe it gets better as the kids get older but do not send your baby here.

This daycare is simply amazing! The staff's genuine love and care for our son is evident each and every day. Our son started at 12 months and has thrived here, forming strong bonds with both the children and staff. He is always so eager to get in there for the day!

The focus on outdoor activities, experiential learning, and even yoga for babies is fantastic! We couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommend

The Learning Tree is a wonderful daycare. The teachers are very professional, caring and they truly love kids. Our daughter learnt so much at the Learning Tree and every morning she would be so excited and happy to go to daycare. It is a very safe and secure environment for children in every aspect. The staff is friendly, professional and very caring. The best daycare by far. Thank you for everything ️

I enrolled my daughter at "The Learning Tree" after she had been at a public $8.50/day centre. The difference is "night and day"! While the care she received at the public daycare was "OK" at a pretty basic level, the services provided at "The Learning Tree" are so much more, just like you would get at a private school. The wide range of activities and academic focus is awesome and I really appreciate the daily feedback (with pictures) that I receive on my smartphone. Their facilities are amazing (including a gym, a computer lab, a library, a sensory exploration center, an art studio and a "bistro" where they have breakfast!). Plus they also have a nature-themed backyard and imaginative little play houses. My daughter just can't wait to go to "school" every day. Sending her here was the best decision I ever made! This is the best daycare on the West-Island.

Our child adores going to his daycare. Really nothing negative to say at all. They have done an incredible job adapting to Covid as well.

Horrible management stay away. Communication problems very dissorganized nobody knows whats going on in the work place.

As a new and first time parent I was incredible nervous looking for a responsible and educational daycare, my partner and I work very odd and erratic hours and learning tree offered us very good option. After a small tour with mister Hrycyk, I knew this was going to be the place. With a fully equipped kitchen and professional employees. I can't recommend this daycare enough.

We love our daycare! I hear nothing but raving reviews from the kids, and we are very happy with the cleanliness of all areas. The professionalism of the staff and teachers is very apparent, as is their love for what they do. The kids seem to have great fun as well as enjoy the learning and education aspect of their day as well! Thanks for the great care!

We had our child at The Learning Tree for 3 years. Transferred over from another private center on the west island, where we were not satisfied. The center is expensive, but you get what you pay for and more. The level of caring and attention to detail was apparent from the get go. Their facilities are amazing, staff well trained, educational programming fantastic. They presented an excellent image and professionalism upon our initial touring of the center; after our 4 years there, we can confirm that The Learning Tree delivers upon the high standard it presents, a rarity in today's world.

My two daughters were in the best of care for their early years at The Learning Tree. The educators are amazing, caring and patient and my girls loved going to “school” there. All the way through Pre-K, we knew how great it was when both daughters entered kindergarten more than prepared for the challenges they face. Most of all you can genuinely feel the love that the staff and educators have for your child.

The Learning Tree also has excellent extra curricular activities like Ballet and Hip Hop, music, yoga, and lots of field trips that engage the kids and keep them moving.

Go there, see for yourself. It’s a tough decision, sending your little one to daycare, but give the Learning Tree a chance!

Amazing school I went there when I was small and now I’m 12 years old. This school is fantastic. Had the best times of my life there. I met my best friend there too. I highly recommend this school.

Both my kids started there when they were 2. We spent 6 wonderful years at the Learning Tree. The teachers that my kids had were amazing! They were patient, empathetic and soooo sweet! The icing on the cake at the Learning Tree is Jo! She is the best listener, understanding and always has her door open for anything. She has the biggest heart and is the soul of this establishment!

My kids love the Learning Tree and so do my husband and I. It is our children's home-away-from-home. Our son recently graduated from the Pre-K class and we still have our daughter at TLT and it is totally worth the two drop-offs and pick-ups each day. We feel SAFE in every way at this daycare; the staff is incredible, every teacher we have had has been wonderful, informative and attentive to our children. We are greeted warmly every day and the director, Jo, is more than just a school director- she has become my "Mommy-Guru" as she seems to have all the answers to my worries when it comes to the kids!:) I sincerely recommend this daycare!

We are so happy with TLT, our first son began at 11 months and graduated in pre-K. The love and care, the education and the program are the best. Most importantly they give the children the tools to go onto the next step of their education. More than the "extras" it was the feeling I got when I visited 6 years ago and have never looked back. Our second son is now in the pre-school bilingual program and comes home with new french words and songs everyday! This was the best decision we made in choosing TLT for our kids!

There are not enough stars for me to rave about The Learning Tree. We started with them back in 2012 with our first child and quickly came to learn that it is a wonderful place for the kids. The staff are rock stars! We ended up having three more children and all have gone to The Learning Tree. They got to know each of our children as individuals and worked so hard to develop so much in them. We would receive information on the gross motor activities, books and other activities the kids were doing. There was so much exposure to different things which we loved. All the field trips for the kids were well organized and interesting for the children from the Musee des Beaux Arts to the BioDome to the Ecomuseum and more. There's an art studio for the kids and they do science experiments, yoga, hip hop or ballet, music. I can't even remember all the things they were exposed to. My oldest is now in Grade 2 and he was so well prepared for school leaving there that despite being from an Anglophone family his French is amazing and is excelling in a French environment. Even when we were checking our oldest for gluten intolerance they accommodated his dietary needs. I just really can't say enough. Overall, we were there for almost seven years and we feel very fortunate to have found such a great place. If it wasn't for our move to Ottawa recently, we would still be there!

Learning Tree is one of the best day care facility in West Island. It was the best decision i made for my kids. The program offered at Learning Tree is great. They offer extra curricular activities like yoga, dance, sports ball. They are taught by professional. So much learning opportunities for kids, especially my son learned to read write & spell his name by age 4. Food us made in the kitchen on site. Its such a good smell in the morning. From directors to educators, everyone made us so comfortable and always listened to our needs. Love it

We can’t even begin to express our gratitude to everyone at The Learning Tree. My husband and I were blown away by how much care, effort, passion and love that is in this building. We watched our son of 3 transform into a wonderful boy who is now 5 nearly bilingual and transitioned into kindergarten truly prepared. Everything from the teachers, curriculum, field trips, plays and performances, activities, nutrition, cleanliness.

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience in this Daycare. Once we placed our child, we tried to call a few times to check on their day, but no one answered the phone despite calling numerous times throughout the day. Caregivers were ok. Nothing special for the high cost. We changed daycares now, and happier.

Best daycare ever! The teachers and the management are professional, my kids are happy to go there

Simply the best private daycare in Montreal. I have 2 children here, and the attention to detail, educational programming and facilities are second to none. This daycare has been amazing in terms of preparing my kids for kindergarten. They have their own kitchen with all food prepared on site, 3 backyards, a gym, a library, a computer lab, an art studio, all while giving off a comfortable vibe that has always made my family feel at home.

They are losing all their best educators due to bad practices and poor management. And they still charge premium prices for child care. Awful awful daycare.

I put my two children through The Learning Tree, one starting at 10 months and another at 4 in their pre-k program. I can’t say enough how amazing this centre has been for them. Everything is top notch at the Learning Tree: from the food to the teachers to the cleanliness and the management has been excellent, always being available and genuine and catering to our specific concerns. My 4 year old, who is now 7, made three friends he still goes on playdates with. The management discovered that my youngest had an allergy that we weren’t aware of at the time and went above and beyond to ensure to address the issue completely. Any family that is at all able to get into this centre is very lucky! We will always be grateful to everyone there.
