This review is for the LAUP Program that is provided by Maple Avenue Preschool. My daughter attended for the 2011-2012 school year and my son attends this current year 2014-2015. I love this program. The facility that it is held in. The staff that works at Maple Avenue are great. Jennifer work hard to provide educational workshops for parents, one usually finds her in the classrooms interacting with the kids and observing the teachers and curriculum. Healthy snacks are served and manners are used! It's amazing how much my kids learned just in the few months of attending. They learn through play and they are being engaged the whole time it helps to have 3 teachers in a class of 24. My daughter was very well prepared for kindergarden. The teachers are very sweet. My kids loved them. If I have any complains about this place it would be the parking! There is only street parking and this is a residential street that gets busy because there are MUSD Schools. There is a green zone 15 min parking. Also the unloading and loading driveway its just for the actual daycare, preK, kinder not LAUP. I love this place, I have seen parents bring in their younger kids from past years. I recommend it.

I have a child who is currently in the toddler class and I'm upset that I pay as much as the other parents from the other classes yet in my child's class there's hardly any crayons, books, toys, and essentials needed for their learning. I've seen the other classrooms and they're so nice and colorful, full of books and educational toys. I'm wondering where is all the money going? Everything in my child's classroom is a hand me down from current and previous student's parents. So I would appreciate it if they gave the toddlers center the same attention and dedication they give the other classrooms. I pay a good amount of money towards my child's education. If I find a better school I won't think twice and I'm sure the other parents would agree.

This school worked great for my kid. Within two months of enrollment she was able to communicate well with the teacher and other kids in the school, though she spoke in her mother tongue till then. For sure, the kids studying here would have a good kick start in their education going ahead as they get good class work activity, a balanced homework to do at home along with social,cultural and extra curricular activities. That way, both teachers and parents involve in interacting with the student right from the beginning of their academics. I agree, the classrooms do not have cots and the carpets are old, but when compared to quality of the education we can consider these aspects as trivial. The Friday pizza program is good but can be included within the fees they are charging at present. Overall, this school works great for entry level kids at the age of 3 (or may be less, not sure) and help them boost in their academics and social behavior.

This school is horrible, especially for the children in the Pre-school program where the office is. The teacher turnover is high and the admin simply dismisses things and blames the teachers by replacing them over and over. I had my child there last year and they asked me to pack a blanket and sheet, only to find out that during nap time they were sleeping on a FLOOR with dirty commercial carpet, that they played/walked on all day, not cots. They were not fed adequately as my child came home hungry on a regular basis. They have pizza on Fridays and ask the parents to participate with $2 or else u pack a lunch. My child made me aware that they were given 1 piece of pizza, which meant my $2 were prob feeding the teachers also. They need a lot of work in their Preschool and Pre-K, they do not evaluate incoming students. Undisciplined and prob children are mixed in with well behaved/young children and are not corrected for their bad behavior. If there was an incident involving another child they would sometimes send a note, that was how they adressed anything. The owners are not very friendly w the parents, only on social occasions like open house when they HAVE to put on a happy face.

I think the 1st review that gives this school 5 stars is/was a staff member. I had enrolled my child there based on reviews and the fact that we were told that children are very advanced when they leave this school. My child attended a private school previously and based on reviews and price, we tried this school. I guess you get what you pay for. They seem to have a high teacher turnover and they had younger children with older children. My child came home on several occasions with bruises and complaints that bigger kids were hitting him and playing too rough. I checked in and they had my 3 year old in a class with 4-4 1/2 year olds. I was not satisfied, I do not feel my child learned anything that he didn't already know. They do not address or try and correct inappropriate behavior and that should go without question. My child picked up some bad habits and lost some good manners that he had learned at his previous school.I do agree that "Miss Linda" is a short when answering questions, someone else probably needs to address parent questions/concerns. This could be a better school if they emphasize good behavior, sharing, etc., rather than letting everyone run around loose.

Maple provides students with a rigorous curriculum for young students. The facility has been recently remodeled in August and every classroom has beautiful flooring, freshly painted walls, and open space. The teachers are caring and supportive. My daughter has attended maple for 3 years, and my family has been associated with the school for over 45 years.

I went to Maple Ave recently to do a tour and was not very impressed at all with the facility. The lessons might be rigorous but I would need to sit in a class to confirm that, but the facility is not kept very clean at all. It smelled and it seemed like the walls and other parts of the rooms had not been cleaned in some time.
