The ladies of Maple lawn are wonderful, they were always nice and respectful. They took care of my son and advanced his development while in their care. When I would go to pick him up to come home, he never wanted to leave them. The first day I dropped him off there I was afraid to let him go, but as the week progressed I felt very comfortable leaving him in their care.

This is a really good facility. The staff were very professional and the facility was clean. The study material for the Pre-K was really good with science, language, music and math as part of the curriculum. A little in the expensive side but worth it.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was just 6 months old, and she will be turning 2 next month. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have been amazing. They are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the children. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in such a loving and nurturing environment every day. She has grown, learned, and thrived so much during her time here. I’m truly grateful for the dedication and warmth the entire team brings, and I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe and supportive place for their little one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you select the right preschool for your child?

A: Maplelawn Childcare welcomes any family looking for a preschool for their child/children. We offer daily tours to the families.

If you like to tour our preschool in-person pls Schedule a Tour from our website.

Q: Tell us a little bit about the in-person school tour?e throughout the day?

A: We prioritize understanding the specific needs of each parent. This insight allows us to tailor our school tours to highlight the most relevant aspects of our program. During the tour, we dedicate ample time to explaining our daily routine and educational process. Parents have the opportunity to meet our experienced staff, interact with teachers, and closely examine our classrooms. By showcasing our methodology, materials, and overall classroom environment, we aim to provide parents with a comprehensive understanding of our school and how it can best support their child’s development.

Q:How will I be informed of my child’s progress?

A: Maplelawn Childcare uses a mobile application for communications, it is simple and literally acts as a text message to the teacher or vice versa to know more about the child.

We also encourage the traditional method of setting up a time to meet with the teacher before or after teaching hours. If you have concerns or just want to know about what your child is doing in the classroom, don’t hesitate to set up an appointment.

Maplelawn Childcare offers parent-teacher conference twice a year, one in January and the second at the end of the year. That would be the best time to find out all about the child’s growth and progress.

Q: What is the Teacher Student Ratio?

A: We keep our class sizes small to give each child lots of attention. Here’s how many children are in each classroom:

  • Infants (6 weeks – 24 months): 1 teacher for every 3 infants.
  • Toddlers (2  –  3 years): 1 teacher for every 6 students.
  • Preschoolers (3 – 6 years): 1 teacher for every 10 preschoolers.
