Welcome to the Muskoka Home Child Care Agency, a home away from home.
We view children as wondrous, joyful, and inquisitive and we find fulfillment in honoring their uniqueness. We pride ourselves on providing quality care in our community that supports our families in feeling welcomed, valued, and connected as we create a learning environment that invokes curiosity and engagement while igniting a lifelong love of learning.
The Ministry of Education (MEDU) helps to guide our regulations and policies. Our dedication and drive comes from a continued reflection of quality care. Our passion drives us to continue researching this ever-evolving science as we grow as a team.

Meet the MHCCA Home Child Care Educators!
- Although Port Sydney Daycare joined the Agency in 2017, this Provider has spent many more years in the child care profession refining the concept of child-led learning. She is very intentional in setting up her environment, carefully selecting the right materials for deep play and inquiry.
- Kari’s Home Daycare joined the Agency in 2018. This Provider’s calm and cool demeanor is steadfast as she manages any situation that comes her way. Her interactions with the children are stellar and her language is always strength-based and gentle.
- Sara’s Sprouts joined with us in 2018. Although she started as a novice in the child care world, she quickly found that she not only had a skillset but also a passion for working with children. Sara soaks up professional learning and is making insightful observations of the children daily.
- Winona Days Daycare began with us in 2021. She is keen to learn and never hesitates to ask a question. Her natural organizational and communication skills flow into a program that is thoughtful and well prepared.
- Wake Robin Preschool has an educator that is passionate and enthusiastic about the Montessori approach to early learning. Many of her students graduate to the Montessori school in Bracebridge, where she herself used to teach. This educator deeply values building authentic and caring relationships with the children and families that join her program.
- Tiny Settlers Daycare is a place where children are encouraged to embrace the outdoors and follow their interests. This educator is responsive and caring and seemingly has an endless supply of energy and smiles.
