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.
