Our daycare in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce

Bilingual Daycare in NDG (Somerled), Montréal

Ile Coco on Somerled is our original home — a small, light-filled bilingual daycare in the heart of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, two minutes from Décarie and a short walk from Parc Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. We welcome children from 18 months to 5 years for full-day care in French and English, with house-made meals, small groups, and zero screens.

Why families choose our NDG daycare

Bilingual from day one

Educators move fluently between French and English, so children grow into both languages naturally — perfect for the diverse families of NDG, Côte-des-Neiges, and Westmount.

Small groups, calm rooms

A maximum of seven children per educator. Each age group has its own dedicated, quiet space designed for that exact stage of development.

House-made meals

Our chef prepares every meal on-site each day. Menus are reviewed weekly for the allergens we host that month — no shortcuts, no surprises.

Five minutes from home, five minutes from work

Steps from the Somerled bus, two minutes from Décarie, easy parking on side streets. Whether you live on Monkland, Sherbrooke, or in Hampstead, drop-off is fast.
