As our daughter graduates from daycare and prepares for her next adventure, we want to take a…read moremoment to express our deepest gratitude to the entire team. She started here at just 12 months old, and for the past 4.5 years, this daycare has been so much more than a place for childcare--it has truly been her second home. From her very first steps and words to the confident, kind, and curious little person she is today, we have had the privilege of watching her grow in an environment filled with love, encouragement, and care. The educators are simply amazing. Their patience, dedication, warmth, and genuine affection for the children are evident in everything they do. They have celebrated milestones, comforted tears, encouraged independence, and created countless happy memories along the way. We are incredibly proud of the young girl our daughter has become, and we know that the support, guidance, and nurturing she received here played a significant role in shaping her early years. The friendships she has built, the lessons she has learned, and the confidence she has gained will stay with her for years to come. Leaving is bittersweet because this place has been such an important part of our family's life. Thank you to every educator and staff member for loving and caring for our daughter as if she were your own. We will always be grateful for the positive impact you've had on her life and for making these early years so special. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and truly exceptional environment for their child. 5

They don't have a lot of lounge chairs so come early to grab one but they are cool if you want to bring in your own lawn chairs. I usually come early, get a swim in, and then chill out on a lounge chair and catch up on some reading and phone calls. Also, this is very family-friendly and folks of all ages are here, elderly, kids, couples, singles, I never seen sketchy types here. Great spot to try to beat the heat.

Explorations is the best camp in Montreal, hands down. We have 3 kids and tried many camps, and…read moreExplorations camp is special because of its variety and the way they cater their programs to each age group. This summer will be our third year back as a family. For our youngest daughter, we love that their program has a lot of physical activity and outdoor lessons. They do cool hands-on projects every day, often combining arts and science, and they have a music teacher who she adores. Once she reached the Grade 2 level at Explorations last year, I couldn't believe the things she was doing - things like origami, coding, and even woodworking. Every day she came home excited to tell us about something new she had tried. Our middle child has been doing their Intermediate/Senior program for a couple of years now, and they're a bit more specialized, picking three activities to do in July. Our son is really into tech, so I thought he would pick all robotics and coding classes, but he's also been choosing some performance arts. The music band activity they run is phenomenal (we ended going to the NDG Music School throughout the schoolyear because our son got hooked). He also loves their comedy class, and it has made a HUGE difference for him to be doing performance activities with other kids. This is what convinced us that Explorations the best camp in Montreal. There are other camps with theatre, and other camps with electronics, but I don't know of another camp where kids can choose to do both. They also have a bunch of arts like pottery, fashion design, and animation -- which our younger daughter is really excited to try when she's old enough. Our older daughter is nearing the end of highschool, and she tried the Panorama Program at Explorations last year. It's for older students and seems to be totally focused on science (seems like their only camp level that does not have loads of variety). So probably not a good fit for your child if they don't like science at all. The Panorama students travel to different places around the McGill campus, and it was great for our daughter's independence. She honestly didn't tell us too much about it, but she liked it enough that she wants to go back again this year, which speaks volumes from a teenager who says little. They have sports, too. I don't think it's their focus, but the younger kids do have a dedicated phys ed teacher and lots of active time, and the older kids have some choices of sports activities like fencing and archery. They have soccer, basketball, and dodgeball as options for kids to do during the break times (our son says their dodgeball system is great). So if your kid is purely an athlete and just wants to chase a ball all day, then Explorations might not be for them, but if they want to do sports as part of the day, then Explorations definitely accommodates that. So we love that Explorations camp is fantastic for all three of our children, at very different ages. The variety that the young kids get is frankly unbelievable. The choices for the older kids are really good for letting them have freedom to learn almost anything - and you may be surprised by your kid's choices! And I actually don't know of many camps that do a special program for older teens, so Explorations camp stands our for serving all ages of kids with activities that seem perfect for them. *Note: these comments are about their camp in July. I just looked at their website, and I think their programs in August are more specialized with fewer choices, but they still look great. We are also going to sign up for their Winter Break and March Break camps for the first time this year, and we'll update this review to comment on those programs.

Coming here was the highlight of our trip to Montreal and if you like to swim I would definitely…read moreput this on your itinerary. Why? In 1976 the Summer Olympics were held in Montreal and this facility which is still in the same state as in 1976 with the Olympic rings outside the door was built for the swim competition. Now you have the opportunity to swim in the same pool as the Olympic Athletes. Canadians can buy monthly memberships but Americans can swim here for a daily fee of less than $8.00 CAD with a passport and proof of double vaccination. They even have the viewing stands so bring some friends and family with you to cheer you on like in the Olympics. The pool is super clean--the cleanest I have ever seen. And so are the locker rooms and showers. I had googles on and dove to the bottom a few times and it was cleaner than any pool that I have been in. You are required to keep a face covering on all times walking around except in the pool. ( I got reprimanded initially by the lifeguard for walking near the pool without one.) There are lanes for laps, a kiddie area, and free swim area. There are 2 lifeguards on duty on both sides of the pool. They even have a machine in the locker room to dry your swim suit--worked great! There are open lockers but you will need to bring a lock--we just used our small suitcase locks--it seems relatively safe when we were here. They have benches next to the pool for your towel and things. We took a Uber here from the hotel but if you are driving, park in P5 lot. Give yourself a few hours to come here because if you are not familar its a maze of Olympic buildings and once inside another maze figuring out how to get from the locker room to the pool without walking though another gender's locker room. I had to consult with other swimmers and such nice people in Montreal--they gave me an escort. Just a tremendous experience and we are thankful to the Montreal people for allowing us to "jump in."

It's inside the giant, leaning, Montreal Tower, which in itself is really neat to see. In the Olympic Pool area, there is also a small museum too that covers the 1976 Olympic Games. On our tour, the guide explained to our group how the pool (and other smaller pools) were built for the swimming, diving, and other water sports. The pool is still used for recreational swimming by the citizens of Montreal, which I appreciate that they found a new use for it vs. tearing everything down and building over the site.
