Les Petites Perles

Les Petites Perles is a caring and nurturing daycare which allows children an opportunity to be completely submersed in the French language. The staff are so sweet and are always encouraging the children to practice their French, play with one another, and have fun. Radia Achour, the director, is also so sweet, caring and kind, which is reflected in all the work she does with the children!

I had my daughter there until she was 2 years old. We had to move to another province, but we really enjoyed having our daughter at this daycare. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of words she learned and good habits she developed by going to this daycare.

We have been sending our now two year old son Tintin to Les Petites Perles for 2 summers now. He is a very shy boy and is very picky at eating. What a transformation was made there! Our son learnt great eating habits and plays well with the teacher and children there after only a short while of adjustment. The teachers are very experienced and patient, he adores the school. The chef cooks delicious meal everyday I wish I can learn their recipe! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a French daycare. Thank you again directress Radia.

Les Petites Perles is an outstanding daycare. I have had my son here since he was 12 months so basically 2.5 years and as he transitioned through all the rooms we have had such a great experience. He is mostly a shy boy but he enjoys coming here because everyone is like family and very warm and loving. Its important for me as a working mom to have a daycare I trust that I know my kids enjoy. But this review was mainly prompted by my daughter starting daycare 2 weeks ago in the infant room. My daughter has allergies and requires an epi pen. She also suffers from eczema and multiple food intolerances which we are still in the process of discovering. It has been very difficult time for me and I was worried about her starting daycare. Wow! is all I have to say. Madame Radia the director and Madame Zooka and the other ladies in the infant room have really gone above and beyond for my daughter. They are on point with her eating restrictions and take such good care of her. She has adjusted so well and I feel relieved knowing that she will never be given anything she shouldn't have and they rock her to sleep at the moment as she is not very independent for sleep. She basically naps the same amount of time she would at home. I am very impressed! I think they do a better job than I do haha. I cannot recommend this daycare enough. And for anyone who is worried about food sensitivities Radia and her team do a great job. They also cook all their food from scratch so they can easily make modifications if needed. Its been an amazing journey for my son and it looks like it will be an amazing journey for my daughter attending Les Petites Perles. Thank you to the warm loving team at Les Petites Perles.

Thanks to Radia and the staff at Petites Perles, my son has been able to pick up French despite us not speaking French at home. My son started at PP at age 22 months and left when he started school 2 years later. He was admitted to the French school after he took a test to demonstrate his French knowledge. Besides offering French instruction, the daycare staff was caring and kind, always willing to talk about questions or concerns I had. Highly recommended.

My 2.5yrs old daughter has been at Les Petites Perles for nearly 2 months and we’re very happy and impressed with the day care. She loves it too and is very fond of the staffs. Her French is coming on by leaps and bounds! We used the summer camp for my older daughter and she had a great time too! There was a good variety of activities to keep them entertained. Merci Les Petites Perles.

We chose Les Petites Perles because it gave our children the unique opportunity to learn a second language as we don’t speak French at home. The owner Radia is dedicated to this mission, and together with her wonderful staff they supported our success in enrolling our eldest child into a fully francophone school. Seeing our daughter flourish as a bilingual speaker has been a truly special gift made possible by this daycare program. We look forward to our younger child achieving the same goal. My daughter had a great time returning during the summer camp program (2019). There were activities everyday including a trip out once a week. She was literally having a blast every day. I’d say Les Petites Perles is a wonderful place where great things happen to very small people :)

My one year old daughter goes to this place. We are very happy with Radia and with the teachers. They have been very kind and loving towards my kid. I would highly recommend this daycare.
