Hi, I'm so glad you're here

My name is Marwa, and I'm a Registered Early Childhood Educator with over 20 years of experience working with children. I'm a Sheridan College graduate and also hold a Management Certification from George Brown College.

My home daycare welcomes children 9 months to 4 years old in a warm, home-like environment where they can learn through play, build friendships, and feel confident every day.

My goal is to provide a loving home away from home where children feel safe, cared for, and encouraged to grow.

I'd love to meet you and your little one — questions are always welcome.

Guided by How Does Learning Happen?

My program follows Ontario's How Does Learning Happen? approach, which means I focus on each child's interests and create activities that encourage learning through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. Every child learns at their own pace, and I believe in helping them feel happy, supported, and excited to learn.

  • Belonging

    Every child feels like a valued part of our little group, known by name and welcomed each morning.

  • Well-Being

    Gentle routines, nourishing food, and plenty of rest help children feel secure and cared for.

  • Engagement

    Activities follow each child's own interests, inviting curiosity through hands-on exploration.

  • Expression

    Children are encouraged to share ideas and feelings through play, art, music, and conversation.
