About us
We are here to help parents
raise happy and healthy children
Background and Philosophy
The Big Playhouse is the final product of a family-based childcare that has been taken over by children. Our playhouse is a childcare centre which offers full time and part time care to families in our community.
We have proudly served our community for the past 18 years as Maria Family Childcare, and in 2021 we transformed this center into a child’s dream of house dedicated to playing, The Big Playhouse.
Our program is based on the philosophy that we believe that every child is equal, unique, and full of potential.
We meet each child where they are, supporting their individual rate of development. In a warm, safe, and nurturing environment, we cultivate:
- Social and emotional growth
- Physical and intellectual development
- A strong sense of confidence, creativity, and independence
Our goal is to help every child thrive—emotionally, socially, and academically—while making learning joyful and meaningful.
With a small group size of only 8 children, we provide personalized care and create lasting memories every day.
The teachers accompany the children on the exploration process rather than creating a distinct instructor/pupil relationship. The environment is created and organized as such that is visually appealing to the children and fosters curiosity and creativity. Our ultimate goal is for the children to express their learning, knowledge, and experience freely and uniquely.
