Sunnyside Daycare and Preschool is a beautiful private child care center located in Pierrefonds, Quebec. With space for 49 children and small group sizes, this West Island childcare center offers children and their families a warm and inviting environment. Sunnyside is the best daycare for the early-learning needs of your child.
Our government recognized daycare offers a child-centered educational program. Your child will learn through hands-on experiences and will be encouraged to explore the world around them at their own pace. Drawing inspiration from Reggio Emilia, we believe in encouraging children to experiment and learn through play in our spacious and clean daycare.
Our developmentally appropriate curriculum provides a balance of structured activities and free play, both indoors and out. Your child will be given the opportunity to develop individuality, creativity, and self-esteem.
We foster an inclusive environment with an open-door communication policy. Nutritional, fresh meals are prepared daily by our on-site chef and surpass the standards set in the Canadian Food Guide.

The educators are all excellent and the daycare itself is warm, welcoming and clean. My daughter loves it here!Kedia Ajax2023-11-04No words will ever be enough to fully express how wonderful our experience at Sunnyside was for my little one and me. The staff is absolutely amazing. They are so attentive and patient. I am in awe with how at ease my child was with them from the very first day. The building is clean, well designed. And they have a chef who cooks such tasty looking meals! My child made so many friends, and has learned so much during his time there. I highly recommend Sunnyside to any parent looking for a safe and warm environment for their kiddo! Truly without a doubt the best daycare in Montreal.Melanie Kearns2023-10-04Sunnyside is hands down the best daycare! As a first time mom I was extremely apprehensive about sending my son to daycare and going back to work. Sunnyside staff are extremely welcoming, caring, attentive, nurturing and professional. We have witnessed our son flourish since attending Sunnyside. They foster an inclusive environment and a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The educators do an excellent job at keeping us updated throughout the day of our child’s progress and mood. The facilities are bright and clean and we love how much time they spend playing outdoors. The nutritious meals prepared daily are a true blessing. We are so grateful to have such an enriching environment to send our son!Melanie Myrand2023-09-05My son started at sunnyside daycare when he was about 12 months old, he is slow to warm up and didn’t like strangers but Sunnyside made the transition easy. The small classroom sizes and caring gentle approach from the educators helped him transition easily. They provide a lot of outdoor play which is very important to me as a parent and have a fantastic menu all made on site. The small establishment also makes for easy transition between rooms as the child gets older, it truly feels like a family at Sunnyside. Stefani, the owner is very passionate about early childhood and will answer all your questions and concerns. I highly recommend this daycare 😊B Mo2023-06-14Sunnyside is by far the best daycare in west island. My son loves stefanie and all the other teachers as well. The most important thing is that I feel 100% confortable leaving My Child in there hands. Chef Adam is awesome. Great food and great servicen B19942023-04-15My son has been attending Sunnyside for about 6 months now after a bad experience with a home daycare. He started in the infant room and will be moving up to the toddler room soon. All of the educators are FANTASTIC. You walk into the daycare and it really feels like a community where the children are respected and cared for. There is TONS of outdoor play, even during the colder months. The menu is catered in house by a trained chef, so the kids eat better than we do haha! They provide tons of age appropriate creative activities that let their imaginations run wild! A special shout out to their educator Mary in the infant room! My son adores her and sometimes cries when we need to take him home. If that doesn’t show you that it’s a good daycare, I don’t know what does 🤣Andrew Temple2022-11-29Fantastic place! We feel very reassured sending our daughter to Sunnyside. Stefani and all the educators are amazing and have many new and creative ways of engaging with the kids. The communication is also fantastic! So happy we found this place 😁Ryan Favretto2022-11-27Welcoming and warm daycare. Perfect atmosphere for kids who are extremely well surrounded by excellent staff. The director is very hands on and implements fun and creative activities for the kids daily. The facility is great and the kids get lots of outdoor time as well. 5 stars all across the board: staff, food, learning activities , structure, creativeness and most importantly love and support for the kids. An overall wonderful Daycare.Shiva Naseri2022-09-09I visited a lot of daycares and sunnyside was the only daycare that I felt I could trust to send my daughter to. My daughter loves her daycare and educators. Most importantly, I like their philosophy and how much Stefani, the director, is supportive.
