Maplewood Child Development Center

Specialties

We provide a harmonious and inviting learning environment designed to be an extension of home where children can grow, learn and have fun!

Our learning philosophy is tailored to meet the developmental needs of the whole child. We mindfully observe the children, reflect, and carefully plan explorations to help each child develop core skills that set the foundation for future learning.

As your child grows with us, we will help them develop into lifelong learners, develop a meaningful relationship with the natural world, and become responsible citizens in a global society. We believe these characteristics evolve by becoming part of a greater community of learners, by observing these traits in their first teachers, and through the love, care, and education from their family.

We believe that children are intrinsically motivated to learn and that early childhood away-​from-​home experiences should be child directed, play-​based, and supported by an environment designed to enrich the whole child: mind, body and spirit. We believe forming a partnership with our families can help each child successfully transition into our safe and nurturing home-​based education and care program.

We educate our children to become global citizens by including a variety of learning projects aimed at Social Responsibility, Environmental Awareness, and Healthy Living Habits. Embedded in our program are nature-​based, eco-​friendly, healthy diet, socially responsible and anti-​bias multicultural content.
