Do not send your kids here!! Worst staff, they yell at the kids, the director and the ece LIE! Not a good trait to have and help raise your kids!! They say one thing and provide approval for me to update a third party arrangement I let my third party go pickup my child they deny the third party!!!! So they LIE! Useless daycare!!! Child is being screamed at for being excited, I suggest you go hire new ece teachers or retrain your staff because a child should NOT be yelled at for being overly excited seeing a familiar face at the door waiting for them outside the daycare!! Rude staff who are the ones watching the kids! Asked for a number and flicks a finger to point at a sign! No professionalism! read more

My 4-year old and 2-year old both attend Mon Petit Univers. My 4-year has his before and after school care there (he was a full time student prior to starting JK) and my 2-year old is there full time. It truly is a wonderful place to send your child. The group at Mon Petit Univers are fantastic with my kids - they are actually excited to go to daycare! I highly RECOMMEND Mon Petit Univers to anyone looking for daycare services for their child. read more

Does not pick up the phone (zero times out of probably 20 attempts to call at different times on different days) and flaked on us for two tour appointments in a row. Unreliable. read more

I wrote a review for this daycare back in 2019 (posted at the end of this review) and I don't know why it's NOT included in the overall rating for this daycare. There are 2 other RAVE reviews for Mon Petit Univers along with mine which are not posted which gives a completely skewed rating to the business - it should ALWAYS get 5 stars!! My son (6 yrs old) went here from 2017 until fall of 2019 when he entered JK, and my daughter (almost 4) has been going to MPU for the last 2 years. It has been WONDERFUL for both of them - the staff are kind, cheerful, loving and respectful, the food is healthy and organic, it is SAFE and CLEAN, the kids love the activities, and they get a great base to start speaking French. It's my understanding that the Director (Dafenide) has opened a 2nd location near Lawrence & Avenue Rd., so if you know anyone in that area looking for a good, reliable daycare, I HIGHLY recommend MPU. And by the way, the two negative reviews are a joke - who on earth is reviewing from NY, first of all, and secondly, "Tyna"'s review is from a total wingnut - the kids weren't even hers, they were her boyfriend's, he was recently separated, and T was annoyed because she wasn't given permission by his (ex-) spouse to pick up the kids, so she goes on a rant to try and make the facility look bad! Not cool, and DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. My review from 2019: We have an almost-4-year old son who has been at Mon Petit Univers for about 2 years now. HE LOVES IT!! And we love it. It was pretty much brand new when he started going (he was the 3rd child to attend there, now they have around 20+), and everything is still very clean and new. They have organic food brought in for the meals every day, are taught manners and independence, and all of this in French. Communication between the educators and children is always in French but they can speak to the parents in English as many of the kids do not come from Francophone households. We get pictures emailed to us of our son doing various activities and they always look educational and fun. They also send out an e-mail on Sundays with the "menu for the week". We don't have any dietary restrictions/special requests, but I know that they accommodate those. They also have a list of excursions that they send out when summer approaches showing what they plan to do with the kids and require parents to sign a consent form for anything off-site. Our son loves the educators and we are kept well-informed of anything important. There is a notebook for each child where notes are made every day which we are encouraged to look at. I would highly recommend Mon Petit Univers to any family! read more

Our daughter has attended Mon Petit Univers for over a year, first beginning in the toddler room & now currently in the preschooler room. When we were looking for a daycare for her, we interviewed at several daycares in this area. We wanted to make sure her daycare was a place she would feel comfortable with since she would be there all day, every day. When we met Madame Dafenide, we were sure immediately that this was the right place for her. Mon Petit is a daycare that is engaging, provides structure & most importantly is a fun learning environment for our daughter - She's able to have full conversations in both French & English! Our daughter absolutely adores her teachers; she is excited to see them each morning, greeting them with hugs upon arrival & cheerfully telling stories about them & the fun activities she does at ecole every day. We receive a daily progress report of her activities & behaviour & now that she's a preschooler we've received a formal evaluation report of her progress to date. It's wonderful seeing how much she's learning & growing all because of their amazing program & all of the attention she receives there. We're so happy with Mon Petit Univers, our daughter loves it here & we could not imagine her attending daycare anywhere else! read more
