Where GROUP childcare feels like family

Philosophy

At Maple Tree Children’s Centre, we believe children have a natural curiosity, and that it’s our job to give them opportunities to grow their innate sense of wonder and love for learning.

Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the belief that children learn best through “play”, while experiencing the world around them.

Origin Story

I worked in the childcare field as an Early Childhood Educator with an Infant/Toddler Specialty for 10 years in a variety of roles. In 2010, as a single parent to three children, I opened my first centre on a tiny budget, for 16 children total. Now, many years later, my new husband and I have grown our family to seven children, while creating and running childcare for 170 families, in three separate locations in the greater Victoria area with a fourth facility coming soon.
