About Us

Mary Margaret’s Day Care and Learning Center

A few words about us:

At Mary Margaret’s Day Care and Learning Center, we believe the environment plays an important role in the success of an early childhood program. We recognize that every child is unique, with different interests, backgrounds, and developmental stages, and we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing space where children can learn, grow, and feel supported every day. Our approach emphasizes learning through play and meaningful daily experiences that help children explore, create, and imagine. We also value strong partnerships with families and believe children thrive when home and school work together.

Inclusive

We recognize that each child is unique and strive to support different interests, backgrounds, and developmental stages.

Supportive

Our teachers provide guidance, praise, and encouragement so children can experience success, build self-esteem, and enjoy learning.

Respectful

We believe children should be cared for in loving and respectful ways that help them develop confidence and positive feelings about themselves and others.

Collaborative

We highly value the role of families and believe open communication and partnership are essential to supporting each child’s growth.

Our Philosophy

At Mary Margaret’s Day Care and Learning Center, we strongly believe that the environment significantly influences the success of an early childhood program. Our approach emphasizes learning through play, creating opportunities for children to explore, create, and imagine while supporting their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.

Our Curriculum & Learning Approach

Our curriculum is based on Project Construct, which reflects how children learn through interactions with their physical and social environments. Lesson plans are designed by teachers to include themes and a play-based environment that allows children to choose how they learn while being guided and supported throughout the day.

Safety & Support

The safety, security, and developmental growth of every child is a priority at Mary Margaret’s Day Care and Learning Center. All teachers and support staff undergo required screenings, continue their training each year, and are trained in Infant/Child/Adult CPR, First Aid, and AED. We are committed to maintaining a nurturing environment that supports both children and families.

Caring Teachers & Support Staff

Our teachers and support staff bring a wide variety of education, training, and child care experience to the classroom. Team members include individuals with bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, certificates of proficiency, CDA certificates, and past child care experience. All staff follow guidelines set forth by the Office of Childhood and continue their training each year through classes and community-based learning opportunities.
