Macklin House Daycare believes children are competent, capable of complex thinking, curious and rich in potential. Enriched environments, nurturing adult interactions, support, and the freedom to explore are the milestones that enable children to become self-motivated learners.

Role modelling, full engagement in children's play, and environments that are constructed with social and emotional health in mind, are just a few of the ways we do this.

We believe that there is strength in our differences and celebrate our diversity. Families come in various shapes and sizes.

Our program is designed to create a safe, warm, and inviting place for families to learn and grow together. Parents are always welcome to participate, share, network and get involved.

Macklin House recognizes that each child is an individual. Through experiences which invite children's interests and stimulate creativity, each child is given the opportunity to actively investigate the world and learn at his/her own pace.
