Maple Treasure Children Learning Centre has been caring for Maple Ridge families since 2018, specialising in infant and toddler care with small group sizes that let each child receive focused attention. What I like most about this centre is how clearly they’ve designed their space and routines around the needs of very young children: low shelves, cosy sleep rooms, and a fenced outdoor play area right behind the facility that children use daily.

They offer full-day and part-day programs for infants (6 weeks to 12 months) and toddlers (12 months to 3 years), with ratios aligned to licensing standards and many days keeping groups smaller than the legal maximum. Daily routines include guided sensory play, circle time, supervised tummy time for infants, and language-rich activities using board books and Montessori-style manipulatives. Meals and snacks are provided on-site, and the centre accommodates common allergies and dietary needs. They also run regular parent drop-in mornings and monthly developmental updates with photos and notes for each child.

Their approach feels practical and warm. Teachers are Early Childhood Educators (ECE certified) and receive ongoing training in infant sleep safety, first aid, and responsive feeding practices. Care plans are personalised: staff work with parents to set sleep and feeding schedules, track milestones in an online portfolio, and share strategies for transitions and toilet learning. Communication is daily and specific, not vague; you’ll get a quick log of naps, feeds and what the child enjoyed that day.

Maple Treasure is a neighbourhood resource, involved in local library storytimes and seasonal playground clean-ups, so families feel supported beyond the centre’s walls. Parents I’ve spoken with mention the consistency of staff and the steady, calm routines as reasons they chose Maple Treasure.
