About Us
Welcome to Ma Maison Childcare and Preschool Academy, formerly known as Ma Maison Childcare! Our name, meaning “My House” in French, embodies the essence of our center — a place where children feel secure, valued, and part of a loving community.
We understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment that fosters both growth and development. Here, every child is cherished, and each day is an opportunity to grow, play, and discover in a home away from home.
As a family-managed center, Ma Maison Childcare and Preschool Academy is built on the belief that early childhood experiences lay the foundation for lifelong learning. We offer a stimulating and supportive environment where our dedicated team of experienced educators fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love of discovery. We view each child as a unique individual, and our play-based curriculum blends educational activities with social and emotional development.
Our Journey
The story of Ma Maison began with Emmanuella Lauture, who spent over a decade in the banking industry, advancing from teller to management, and earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and a master’s degree in counseling and human resources development.
The idea of opening a childcare center emerged after she had twin daughters in 2003 and resurfaced when her youngest child was born five years later, as she sought to balance motherhood and career.
