Maple Leaf Day Care Center

Both of my kids went there, my daughter since she was an infant and my son for 1 yr at 3 yr old. Staff has always been amazing, teachers are caring. You can tell they work very hard to make sure your children are taking care of, even when they struggled to be fully staffed about 2 yrs ago. My daughter had a seizure episode there and could not thank them enough for their fast reaction , professionalism, their kindness and care!

Have been with Maple Leaf for two years now with two of our children. Director Raj is always so responsive, compassionate, and respectful of any questions or concerns brought to her. The center has such a cozy family feel which is exactly what we were seeking in a childcare center after using a large, cold and “factory” feeling place before we found Maple Leaf. Staff turn over is a reality in childcare but I feel it has been much reduced at Maple Leaf. We are very happy with this center and have had positive experiences in all of their rooms infant to pre-k.

When my daughter was born, we went to register at Maple Leaf. Unfortunately, they were full, so we went to another provider in the Guilderland area. A few weeks later, Maple Leaf called me to say a spot had opened, and I declined since I already had a provider. What a mistake. I wish I had switched to Maple Leaf when I had the chance. When the other provider continued to disappoint us time and again, I finally pulled her out and went to Maple Leaf. What a pleasure it was. Raj, the director, is dedicated, she is responsive and wonderful to work with. All of the teachers in the four year old room were absolutely remarkable. Maple Leaf is not a "day care", it's an early learning center. They teach the kids, they do a large variety of activities, they have a great playground and the teachers all care about the kids, and care about their future. The tuition is quite reasonable, they provide lunches and snacks and they went above and beyond in dealing with my daughter's very many food allergies. They also have very fair policies and unlike the daycare I got saddled with, Maple Leaf does NOT prioritize money over the kids or the parents. They also make excellent use of the Daily Connect app and website so throughout the day you can see what your child is up to, what activities they are doing, what they are learning, what they are eating and they post a picture as well. They also keep in constant communication through the app. Again, it was a pleasure and I only wish my daughter had been there the entire time.

I have 2 children that have gone to the Guilderland Maple Leaf location for several years (they are still enrolled). They have been going to this location prior to the pandemic and throughout. I can not say enough good things about how well my children have been treated the entire time. Maple Leaf and their dedicated management and staff have treated my children with kindness, compassion, and professionalism throughout. They always greet you with a warm smile and you can feel comfortable that your children will be in safe hands. If you need to get ahold of anyone they always pick up the phone. They are very responsive and understanding to any reasonable parent concern or request. In short this is a fantastic, well run and professional child care center.

My son has been going there for about 5 months and really enjoys it. His vocabulary and sentence structure has really improved. He loves the staff, especially Miss Megan. Everyone, including the director has been helpful and supportive. I don't feel they deserve such a low rating.
