Maawdoo Maajaamin in Anishinaabemowin means “Our Journey Together”. The Indigenous Led Child Care program is a partnership between the ‘Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation’ and ‘Haldimand Norfolk Health and Social Services’ in the spirit of reconciliation. We will journey together to care, nurture and welcome all children and families across our close-knit communities.
Maawdoo Maajaamin Child Care (MMCC) has a license capacity for 49 childcare spaces; infant, toddler and preschool. The trained staff provides a culturally based positive learning environment for the children through a variety of weekly planned activities. The centre is inspected annually under the Day Nurseries Act Regulations.

Kate Schroder, B.A., RECE – Supervisor
I received a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Fanshawe in 2005. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western in 2015. I started working for MCFN when MMCC opened in 2022 as a RECE in the infant room. In 2023 I became the Assistant Supervisor and then became Supervisor in 2024. I have been working with children since hosting children’s birthday parties at McDonald’s as a teenager.

I graduated from Mohawk College as a Registered Early Childhood Educator in 1995. I joined MCFN in 2003 working as a RECE at Ekwaamjigenang Children’s Centre. I moved over to join the team at Maawdoo Maajaamin Child Care in 2023 and became the Assistant Supervisor in 2024. I look forward to sharing my years of experience in child care to assist at Maawdoo Maajaamin Child Care.
