Mission and core values
Our mission
Maple Leaf Children’s Center is committed to each child’s developmental process by engaging their minds and bodies to explore their world through play and outdoor nature-based experience.
Our philosophy
Here at Maple Leaf we see there is such great importance on learning by experience. Maple Leaf makes use of three teaching resources: our natural and physical world, social interactions, and everyday opportunities. Since our start in 1976, our center has encouraged children to grow through experience using skills they are developing, learning, and mastering. We create intentional, trusting relationships with children and families.
Our vision
Our vision is to strengthen children and create a nurturing community through interactive learning and family support.
