Bear Care focuses on infants as young as 6 weeks old through the age of 24 months. This Early Learning Center curriculum was initially developed with the philosophy that for healthy growth, learning, and development to occur, infants must feel a bond and an attachment to the primary adults in their lives.

Nurturing and maintaining the relationship between child and adult is a primary focus of the Bear Care program.

Beginning at infancy, schedules are arranged to best meet the needs of the child. Consistent and predictable routines are built into the infant’s day, with few transitions and a targeted amount of time
for repetition and practice.

The Bear Care program emphasizes calm, comforting, and supportive settings, designed through the eyes of an infant, with pleasant and predictable routines that nurture trust and safety for the child.

Each Maple Bear facility provides a learning environment carefully designed to keep the infant safe while allowing for exploration and discovery. Spaces and places have developmentally appropriate toys and furnishings that will accommodate the needs of crawlers, walkers and almost walkers.
Our Bear Care program uses a responsive curriculum

A primary difference that makes Maple Bear one of the premier Early Learning Centers to own is milestone development.

Maple Bear teachers and administration continually assess the children from a physical, cognitive, communication and social-emotional perspective, resulting in planned activities individualized for each child.

Communication with parents is essential for the care and development of the infant, setting Maple Bear apart as an Early Learning Center committed to ensuring families are informed and involved.
