Parent Testimonials

Thank you for providing such a special educational experience for our children. As parents, we could not ask for a more inviting and nurturing environment. We feel that your teachers are exceptional

~ Parent

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience my son and I have had with you. He is excited about going to kindergarten in the fall! Maplewood has helped him fall in love with school and he has blossomed under the wonderful teachers and through the great programs offered.

~ Parent

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Maplewood as a whole. From the minute you walk in the door, every adult in the building knows and greets my daughter by name. Her two years with Miss Paula could not have been better. I am a kindergarten teacher, and have very high expectations - Miss Paula exceeded them and gave my daughter a perfect foundation for starting elementary school. More importantly, she instilled a love for school that I have always wished my children would have.

~ Parent

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for everything! From the moment we signed up for Baby Yoga, I knew this would be my children's preschool and here we are! My son has learned so much and is excited to go to school, see his friends and find out what they will be doing today. We feel safe and happy here and that is a great feeling. Thank you for being so welcoming and such a great place to come to learn!

~ Parent

We love Maplewood Preschool, the programs, the staff and the community of families we've met! We can't say enough about the friendships our son has made, how much he has learned and how his self-confidence has grown in his time there!"

~ Parent

My son looks forward to going to school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! He has learned to write his name, dance the Tooty Ta, and share with his friends. Our family loves Maplewood wholeheartedly.

We would like to express how pleased we have been over the past two years with your educational programs at Maplewood as well as your physical activity programs. Both of our sons, Michael and Christian, have thoroughly enjoyed the experiences they have had at Maplewood. Every day has been a wonderful and exciting new day at Maplewood!

~ Parent

I can't say enough positive things about Maplewood. The camp is fabulous! My son is attending for the first time and he had a few struggles at first. Lee called me every night until the issues were resolved. Considering all of the kiddos that attend on a daily basis, I was pleasantly shocked to have this personal customer service! The staff, directors, teachers all genuinely care about their campers and it shows.

~ Parent

The place is top notch in my book on all accounts - communication, the safety of the kids, variety of activities and experiences for the campers, daily pictures of the kids in action, weekly newsletters personalized to the group that your child is in....just awesome! My only con is that I didn't get to attend when I was a child.

~ Parent

We had a fantastic experience on my son's 5th birthday. The party crew particularly Lee, Olivia, and Michaela went above and beyond to make the party full of vibrance and festivity. The camp itself has an outside pedal car, store village, moonwalks, and great gym. I highly recommend it for birthday, camping and day events.

~ Parent

My kids go to camp at Maplewood, so I have always loved this place and the staff. I didn't think it was possible to love them more, but today they took it to a whole new level. We had my son's bday party at Maplewood and had a large group in attendance. Sue, Lee and all of the staff were the most welcoming, patient, professional and upbeat hosts we could have asked for. It felt like family whose sole goal was to show our family and friends a good time. And they did just that! Definitely consider Maplewood for camp, daycare or bday parties - your children will love it, and so will you!

~ Parent

Thanks for the *Amazing* birthday party! My 7-year-old girl, Marlowe, recently had her birthday party here. It was jammed packed with fun activities (Rock climbing, bouncy house, making necklaces and paddle cart!). Samantha and the crew were all so helpful and friendly - I didn't have to lift a finger. Everyone had an amazing time - it's gonna be hard to top this one next year!
