Mediocri-Tots is a daycare center owned by Ellsworth Toohey.

History

When Maggie Roark was a small child, she spent time at Mediocri-Tots. She proved to have a very strong creative gift and built intricate structures out of blocks. This earned her the disapproval of Ellsworth Toohey, who felt very strongly that everyone should be equal -- to the point that he tried to quash Maggie's talent by knocking down everything that she built.

Behind the Laughter

  • Mediocri-Tots appears in the "Maggie Roark" segment of "Four Women and a Manicure", a re-telling of the Ayn Rand novel The Fountainhead narrated by Marge Simpson and with Maggie Simpson cast in the role of Howard Roark.
  • The daycare center's name is a wordplay on the phrase "mediocre tots" and is a reference to Ellsworth Toohey's strong preference for conformity, to the point of stifling gifted children such as Maggie.
