Our three Centres for Early Development (Child Care Centres) including Brookfield Place, Eaton Centre and Robertson House offer enriched quality, full day learning for children from 3 months to 6 years of age.
Mothercraft's Centres for Early Development offer a wide range of support services to families of young children (age 0-6). We believe that healthy children come from healthy families. That's why we work closely with parents to make sure that they get the specific services they need to ensure their children's healthy development.
In addition to high-quality child care, these services include:
Over the years, we have helped thousands of parents learn how to take an active role in their child's development. We help parents understand the principles of healthy child development and the importance of developing positive parent-child relationships. We believe that parents' views and culture must be respected and valued in all aspects of our program. That's why we encourage regular communication with parents through individual parent/teacher meetings and involvement in our Parent Advisory Committee.
