Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This is an excellent school with a caring staff. The director is wonderful with the children and treats them as if they were her own. Her approach to learning is both educational and fun. My son enjoys going and always has a lot to say about what he did in school.

Parent #2
APM is a wonderful French immersion program - the kids learn so much, but don't even realize it since they're having so much fun! The school is play-based and encourages creativity and learning through art projects, dance class, circle-time, and much more. The teachers are fantastic - very patient and loving toward the kids. There are also fun opportunities for the parents to get to know each other and it has become quite a network with the parent community. We feel so privileged to be able to send our kids to APM!

Parent #3
The teachers are very friendly and loving, and my child has always been happy and content at pick-up time. The activities seem very creative and age appropriate, with care given to each child's level of development. The kids get lots ot outdoors time and also have the choice of whether to play indoors or outdoors. The food is home-cooked, of good variety and an emphasis on fruits & veggies. It always smells like something good is cooking when we arrive.

We've never had any issues with other children or with our child in terms of behavior. Our child is as good in French as in English (we speak both languages at home). We've been very happy with our experience here.

Parent #4
This day care is actually really like a school.
The children are really well taken care of and they learn so much every day. My son loves going to day care and i would recommend "Au p'tit monde" to anyone who wants the best for their children.
