About The Learning Ladder Children’s Centre
Walk in and you’ll notice the large windows, low shelves of real books and manipulatives, and separate indoor play areas for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers designed to reduce noise and encourage focused play. It feels like a home away from home, with clear routines that help children settle and thrive.
Families choose The Learning Ladder for its neighbourhood feel and dependable routines. Parents praise the easy drop-off, the small-group interactions, and the centre’s partnerships with Maple Ridge Library and local music therapists for monthly visits.
Programs from Infancy to School Age
The centre offers full-day childcare for infants (from six weeks), toddlers, and preschool-aged children, before- and after-school care, and a licensed preschool program that follows the BC Early Learning Framework. Class sizes follow provincial ratios, with dedicated sleep rooms, an outdoor play yard with climbing structures, and a garden area for seasonal planting. Half- and full-day options run during school breaks, and a summer play program adds weekly themes and community outings to local parks.
Learning in Everyday Moments
Staff use intentional, observation-led planning, documenting each child’s progress in digital portfolios parents can access anytime. Daily communication includes a photo update and a brief report at pickup, and teachers meet with families twice a year to review developmental goals together.
