Our Toddler's are provided with consistent routines and nurturing attention that support the development of a secure sense of self. Once this is established, teachers are able to introduce new skills and exciting hands-on learning activities that foster all areas of development. Beginning social skills, sensory exploration, and basic self help skills flourish in our toddler program. Our unique theme-based curriculum is teacher developed based on the interests of the class and our toddler's always approve! ALL learning is cleverly disguised as play.

Our Pre1 classroom is designed to expand upon the foundation laid in our toddler program and/or for children first navigating a preschool experience. It seeks to embrace the active, inquisitive three year old with fun and stimulating activities that foster cognitive, physical, and social/emotional development. We focus on connections that allow us to understand each child's personality and unique interests in this room to support their growth as an individual. We have a large emphasis on social skills at this age as students move on from parallel play and navigate cooperative play with peers. Teachers are intentional models of conflict/resolution, collaborative play, and being part of a school community (working together/sharing). Children learn through play and teacher's facilitate structured and non structured activities throughout the day that keep them engaged and learning! The busy three year old personality is nurtured and challenged through our play based curriculum.

Maple Tree Day School’s Pre-K Program provides an exemplary learning experience in a small, nurturing setting where every child is truly known. We meet students where they’re at and provide the individual attention they need to build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
At Maple Tree, we believe that academic growth flourishes when a young child feels secure, confident, and valued. Social-emotional development is at the heart of our Pre-K program. We intentionally create opportunities for children to learn how to navigate relationships, build meaningful friendships, practice self-regulation, and develop resilience. Through our guided support, students strengthen skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and coping skills. Our inclusive, play-based, and adaptive approach to teaching ensures that every child feels seen and supported while growing at their own pace. Teachers develop curriculum rich in social experiences, art/creative exploration, and STEM experiments. Our Pre-K students head to Kindergarten academically and emotionally prepared with the foundation rooted in autonomy and awareness that Maple Tree provides.

Maple Tree Environments exude inspiration. Our classrooms are designed to meet the needs of our little learners individually and socially and are always age appropriate. Our shelf materials are switched out monthly as children’s interests change and classes evolve. We have high standards and insist on quality shelf work that is age appropriate and geared towards developing the child. We seek to provide spaces for group activities and conscientiously provide smaller intimate spaces for smaller groups and/or individual play. Classrooms are always happy, engaging, and purposeful.
