My wife and I were looking for a bilingual daycare for our daughter. This place won the lottery…read more So, how is it panning out after 2 months? Pros : - Lots of activities for the toddlers with themed weeks with events associated to them. My child loves it here. - The staff is very friendly. Everyone says hello and are very sweet my child. - Reports are sent to us by e-mail to us every day along with a few choice pictures of our child enjoying herself in daycare. These are very appreciated. - The children's food selection is very good and our daughter seems to eat almost everything and it's a very health food diet. - Hours are great. Too bad they aren't open Saturdays. :) Cons : - Communication between workers leaves somewhat to be desired as well with the parents. Informing me that something is wrong with my child is very important, so we didn't appreciate needing to sign a form when picking her up at 5 PM for a minor problem. I'm sure the decision was made earlier in the day and informing me of this decision earlier would have resulted with me setting an appointment with her pediatrician earlier the next day so I didn't have to lose an entire day of work and daycare. All in all, we're happy but we're hoping the communication issue between workers gets better with time. We understand they had turnover over the summer and hopefully this gets fixed in the weeks to come. I strongly recommend this place.

CLC is an excellent language school that I want to return to! Montreal is so close to Vermont where…read moreI live. It's the obvious locale for studying French, but which school? I highly recommend CLC. Every CLC instructor I had was dynamic, expert at teaching, kind, full of humor, and very attentive to each student. I was stunned by the specificity of the feedback they provided about my progress. And I did progress. I can only imagine if I'd been able to stay two months instead of two weeks. My classmates' French seemed at a compatible level with mine, and we quite naturally supported each other. Our teachers' guidance got us sharing from the heart about our lives and world views, all in the language we were learning. I already miss my new friends. I took the Intensive 25. Starting at 10 a.m., I had three 45-minute classes, each with a different teacher. They were energetic, tuned in to everything and everyone, and never boring. When the 2nd or 3rd teacher of the day came in, they would often pick up on what we'd been working on with the previous teacher. This is a superb level or organization and internal communication. Three afternoons per week, I had a 1-hour private lesson. The Intensive 25 includes fun afternoon activities. I attended French Tea Time to practice my French (with yummy donated tea from David's) and had fun at English Tea Time, too, helping English learners practice. The Intensive 25 is the program I would take again. I will most likely continue my studies with a CLC video class, too. I want to build on the gains I made here!

The CLC is more than just a language school. In addition to offering language courses it also…read moreoffers the community language practice sessions and hosts monthly Festive Fridays which are open to everyone. I never took a class here but I have been to multiple Festive Fridays and practice sessions so I will cover that in this review. The concept behind their language practice sessions, or "Tea Time" as they call it is simple. You can either pay $2 or contribute a box of cookies to be enjoyed while you sit around with the others and practice a language in a casual and relaxed setting. They offer Tea Times in English, French, Japanese and Spanish. For a while I was a regular at French Tea Time because I found it helpful. They always had volunteers on hand who spoke the language either as their mother tongue or fluently so you always had experienced people to practice with. I even volunteered at the English tea time to help others work on their English. In fact the only reason I stopped going was because I ended up getting a new job and my work schedule didn't mesh well with the Tea Time schedule. That is the one downside to this program. It runs from 4 to 6 so if you work a 9 to 5 job you can't make it. Once a month the school also hosts Festive Fridays. These are events designed to introduce the students as well as anyone else who comes by to food from another culture. If you are a student admission is free but for anyone else you have to pay a small fee of $5. Each event centers around a certain food from a particular culture. I have been to taco nights, takoyaki nights and crepe nights. All were quite fun and the atmosphere was indeed festive. This is a great community-oriented school. While I can't speak for the quality of the classes I highly recommend checking out the Tea Time or Festive Fridays. Both are excellent opportunities to work on your language skills and get to know more about the school.

The teachers I have had have all been excellent and perfectly bilingual and so kind and friendly. They are great at making you feel comfortable and also at making sure you really understand the information. The cars are hybrid and clearly marked as student vehicles and they are all in great shape. The location is excellent for driving classes, you can spend time in chill residential streets and easily work up to St Catherines, even the Decarie and the 20. They even have a driving simulator which you can basically use as much as you want if you are registered there for more free practice. I feel way more at ease driving than I ever have before, but I'll update you after I take the rest. Wish me luck on my pending adulthood! (I'm going to take like a thousand more classes though, so don't hold your breath.)

I love Kids and Co Ste.Cathrine Street. My 3.5year old and 2year old have been here for almost a…read moreyear. Top rate daycare (of albeit top price rates). This is an all too rare example of a good corporate run franchise filling the Montreal void of businesses that care about customer service. Indeed Montrealers have been weaned off the idea of customer satisfaction and into the dogma of corporate skepticism (look how long they kept Starbucks at bay), but Kids and Co. has clearly benefited from corporate-HQ delegated programing and management of employee turnover. The teachers are extremely energetic and thoughtful of toddler needs and education. The ratio of kid/teacher is low! I feel this keeps employees fresh and motivated. Their general service is accommodating, receiving the kids at hours that suit our family's schedule (this is not a general philosophy of subsidized daycares that we have tried out). Complimentary service a few evenings and weekends per year is commendable. Food is fresh and regulated by nationally (presumably that assures quality/nutritional control). Educational programing is obviously more than what is provided by subsidized daycare i.e. Mini-Masters Art program, Alphabet lessons, French lessons, yoga sessions. I'm sure I've forgotten to mention many other great attributes.

The classes are small and the Italian instructors are really good from my experience. They talk slowly and clearly and really emphasize speaking Italian in class. I do wish the courses covered a little more material but it was still pretty good. I've also taken lessons with their ski school and it was great. The price includes transportation to and from the hills, your lift ticket and two hours of instruction. The program is 7 weeks long. They take you to some pretty great hills like Owl's Head and they give you enough time to get in a good day of skiing. The day of the skiing outing was always well-organized. the bus always showed up on time at the designated stop and we left the mountain on time as well which was great when you had to be back in the city for other commitments. I was also very impressed by the level of instruction. My group's instructor was great for beginners. She was incredibly patient and really paid attention to what every student was doing so she could offer useful feedback. They also had lessons for more experienced skiers who were looking to improve their skills a bit.
