Polkadots Playland & Montessori Academy - Brampton, Ontario

Neeta M.

I had the privilege of enrolling my child at Polkadots Montessori and Playland after a challenging experience at another daycare. My journey began when my Covid-born baby was ready for daycare, and I initially chose a Montessori program in Brampton (Applewood Montessori Academy and Daycare). Unfortunately, that experience was not what I had hoped for.

Having known Ms. Josette for over 10 years and witnessing the positive impact she had on my older child, I knew I could trust her. Ms. Josette, the principal of Polkadots Montessori, is an exceptional leader—driven, dedicated, and wholeheartedly committed to the well-being of the children, staff, and the school as a whole.
My youngest has been enrolled at Polkadots since she was 14 months old, and it has been an incredible experience. She has blossomed in the nurturing environment provided by Ms. Josette and the wonderful team of educators. My child is thriving, happy, and constantly learning. In fact, she loves attending school so much that she sometimes looks forward to it even on weekends, which speaks volumes about the positive and engaging atmosphere at Polkadots.
I wholeheartedly recommend Polkadots Montessori and Playland. The care, attention, and education my child receives are exceptional, and I am confident that any family who chooses this school will be equally pleased. You will love everything about it!

Polkadots has offered a nurturing environment to our twins for the last 4 years. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure that every student is supported, both academically and personally. With a focus on individualized attention, educators work closely with each child to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. The teachers’ genuine care for their students' success fosters a positive learning environment where children feel motivated and confident. Ms. Josette is known for her dedication and passion for teaching, she has an incredible ability to bring out the best in her students. She creates an environment where each child feels valued and challenged, helping them to not only understand the material but also build confidence in their abilities.
We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering love, care, and support that Polkadots provides to its students. The dedication of the teachers, including the outstanding efforts of Ms. Josette, and the strong sense of community make this school a place where every child can thrive.

We just celebrated our daughter’s bday at POLKADOTS and it was AMAZING ! it is exactly what I was looking for. Kids had a blast. The place is perfectly for the amount of kids we invited and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely we will book more parties there.
Thank you Josette ! 🥰

My son has attended Camps and The Academy since 2021. We also enrolled our Covid baby daughter to get her to start speaking and she is now thriving after being enrolled in Kinderplay and Kindergarten. Despite going to school all day long Monday to Friday, my kids never want to leave. They love their friends and teachers that much.

Highly recommend the camps and open play during weekends!

We recently celebrated our son's 5th birthday here. This is a great place for kids. Neat and clean. All the kids who came to the party enjoyed themselves . Even little toddlers had a great time in the separate area designated for them . Our hostess was absolutely amazing, very helpful with putting up decorations, checking with us from time to time if we needed anything. All in all a very satisfying experience for us. Would definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends.

We stumbled across Polkadots Montessorri Academy in Brampton while looking for an indoor playground. Instead we found the most amazing school for my then toddler grandson who was on the long wait list to be diagnosed with ASD. Miss Josette and her staff recognized all of his symptoms and we began ABA and Speech therapy before we even had the official letter telling us what we already knew.

I can’t tell you how lucky we feel to have found Polkadots when we did. The love and support we receive every day is reflected in the progress my grandson has made and is still making. I seriously don’t know what we would have done without them. Polkadots is a school that integrates neurotypical and neurodivergent children together in the same class. Watching them learn from each other is a beautiful experience. My grandson is warmly welcomed when he walks in, he is invited to birthday parties and most important he has friends. That in itself is milestones ahead of where we thought we would be.

Currently, like so many businesses these days, our beloved Polkadots is facing serious financial trouble and we are pulling together as a family and a community to save it. There is nowhere for these children to go right now. And nowhere better then where they currently are.

I urge you to go to their gofund me page and donate any amount you can afford. There is no better purpose for your money then to provide children with a solid foundation to build their futures on. I guarantee you every penny raised will go directly into maintain their school.

Please people, I’m begging you to help. Those who know me would tell you I don’t ask for much and I wouldn’t ask at all if I wasn’t desperate to save my grandson’s education.

UPDATE. Prayers do get answered!!! MARCH 28/25

I’m so relieved and proud to advise that this Polkadots community came together with the amazing staff and raised the money needed to keep our doors open. Between fundraising and donations and the tireless efforts of our leader Ms Josette to negotiate terms and partnership agreements, Polkadots will live to provide the solid educational foundation that our children need and deserve for many years to come.

If you are looking for a Montessori school that give everything they have to your children, look no further. This is the one.

Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget this amazing experience.
