Meet the Director

Roberta Brown-McCracken

My name is Roberta Brown-McCracken and I am the Centre Director at the Kids & Company Tantallon location. I hold a Diploma in Child & Youth Studies and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and I am trained in ABA, counselling, Trauma-Informed Care, basic ASL, and the Pyramid Model. I have been working in child care and supporting children, youth, and families for 36 years. I have always believed that children are brilliant from the moment they enter the world, and that learning is reciprocal. I am passionate about creating environments where play is valued as the most important work children can do to test theories, problem-solve, and navigate the world around them, and I am continually inspired by how quickly children learn with the support and guidance of caring adults. Our Tantallon location is truly unique, offering a coastal, community feel and access to incredible outdoor experiences. During the summer months especially, our area is full of energy, with opportunities for hiking, biking, boating, sailing, and so many other outdoor adventures. Each day, our team is committed to providing a nurturing and engaging environment where children can play, discover, and grow, supported by dedicated educators who are passionate about their development.
