Martin Luther Daycare is a not-for-profit child care centre located in the heart of Etobicoke, Toronto, and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We offer high quality, accessible and inclusive programs and services for children age 18 months to 12 years (toddler, preschool and kindergarten/school age groups).
All programs provide a supportive and family oriented environment in which the program is an extension of both the home and community. We believe that learning is an integral part of every day in a child's life. Therefore, the partnership between the child care, home, school and the community is essential in order to promote optimal development and to meet the needs of the whole child.
