  We've had our child at Learn and Play Maple Campus for over two years now and it honestly has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. Our kiddo is in kindergarten and watching her grow, both academically and socially has been really something. Let's start with the curriculum because it genuinely surprised us. It goes well beyond the basics. Kids get exposure to STEM topics, Spanish and even yoga, and there's still plenty of time carved out for outdoor play every day. It doesn't feel rushed or overly structured. The balance is just right for this age group. The food situation is also worth mentioning because not every school gets this right. Maple has a no microwave, no fridge policy, which sounds strict at first but it actually encourages parents to send fresh, healthy food. The school also provides healthy snacks. And if you're a working parent who doesn't always have time to prep a lunch, Ms. Radhika launched a fresh hot lunch program. You enroll at the start of the month and your child gets a freshly made hot lunch each day. The price is very reasonable (around $5 per meal), and even though we haven't personally used the service, we think it's a fantastic option for busy families. Another thing Ms. Radhika introduced is a partnership with Amazing Athletes, a dedicated sports program that comes in once a week. The idea is to introduce kids to a variety of sports so they can figure out what they actually enjoy, rather than being pushed into one thing early. It's a great way to get them moving and curious about athletics. The program runs about $80 a month and is totally worth it. On the practical side, parking is never a headache here. There's a dedicated lot with plenty of space, so you're never circling the block or rushing to a street spot at drop-off. Our kiddo and her friends sometimes hang out in the parking area after pickup for a little impromptu snack party, which tells you something about how comfortable and unhurried the whole vibe is there. The campus itself is really well set up. The playground area is nicely shaded, surrounded by trees and has a solid fence so kids can run around freely without you worrying. With only six classrooms, this is a smaller campus compared to some of the bigger Learn and Play locations, and that's honestly a plus. The staff knows every child, the class sizes stay manageable, and your kid doesn't get lost in the shuffle. For staying connected, they use the BrightPath Connect app, which sends you updates throughout the day so you always know what's going on. As a working parent, that kind of visibility is really reassuring. And then there's Ms. Radhika. She has been the heartbeat of this campus. She knows every child personally, is always available when parents have questions or concerns, and has built something that genuinely feels like a community. The warmth starts with her and flows through the whole staff. I can go on and on. In summary, if you're a working parent looking for a school where your child will be challenged, cared for, and truly happy, Maple Campus is absolutely worth checking out. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

  We've had a wonderful experience with Learn and Play Montessori - Maple campus. My little one has been going here for over a year now, and as his very first daycare experience, it couldn't have been a better start. His first teachers, Ms. Nasreen and Ms. Palmira, were incredibly warm and loving--they made what could have been a difficult transition feel so smooth and comforting for both of us. As he moved on, Ms. Ellah, Ms. Ishita, and Ms. Yamira have been truly phenomenal. Their use of Montessori methods really shows in the way they teach independence and confidence. I've seen such a big difference in his development--from improving his gross motor skills to learning how to properly hold and use a pencil. This is my second child, and I can confidently say that everything he knows academically so far is thanks to these amazing teachers. A very special mention for Ms. Radhika, the site director--truly a one-woman army and the heart of the campus. She is the whole package: warm, caring, and always present wherever she is needed. She's not just a site director--she's a teacher, an electrician, a plumber, a problem-solver, a child entertainer, and so much more. No matter what the situation is, she steps in with a smile and makes everything work seamlessly. She has been my child's go-to person every single day, and that speaks volumes. I would highly recommend the Maple campus to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment. With such dedicated teachers and a leader like Ms. Radhika, you truly feel your child is in the best hands.

  Learn and play montessori naple street has been such a blessing for our family. From the moment we walked in for a tour we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The director, Ms. Radhika, was always accessible and was always accommodating. My child's teachers, Ms Palmira, Ms. Carmen and Ms. Nasreen made sure our child was taken care of and helped him transition to the school setting easily. He now comes home excited to share new songs, artwork, and even Spanish words they’ve learned. The curriculum is engaging and very hands-on. We love receiving the daily updates and photos through the app.

  We truly could not have asked for a better experience for our daughter than the one she has had at Learn and Play – Maple Campus. After a difficult experience with another school, we were understandably nervous about sending our two-year-old again, but Radhika, the Center Director, made the transition incredibly smooth and reassuring for our entire family. A special thank you to Ms. Nazreen, Ms. Palmira, and Ms. Carmen, who went above and beyond to make our daughter feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Their warmth and dedication have been extraordinary — our daughter even calls one of them “Grandma”! She comes home chirpy, happy, and excited to go back the next day, which gives us immense peace and gratitude as parents. We are profoundly thankful to the entire team for creating such a nurturing and joyful environment.

  Our family has had a truly positive and reassuring experience with Learn & Play Montessori – Maple campus over the past several years. Both of my daughters have attended this school, and it has been a place where they felt genuinely cared for, supported, and encouraged every single day. My elder daughter spent three wonderful years here before transitioning to public school last summer, and my younger daughter has now been part of the school for the past two years. I would especially like to acknowledge Ms. Radhika, the Director, whose calm and composed nature stands out immediately. She brings a thoughtful, professional approach while also showing genuine warmth toward the children. It’s very comforting to know that the school is guided by someone who truly understands and prioritizes the well-being of every child. A special thank you to my younger daughter’s teachers, Ms. Mandhakini and Ms. Zahra. Their dedication, patience, and consistent effort do not go unnoticed. They create a nurturing and engaging environment every day, and it’s clear how much care they put into supporting each child’s development. The positive impact they’ve had on my daughter is something we deeply appreciate. I would also like to recognize my elder daughter’s teachers—Ms. Ruby, Ms. Ellah and Ms. Ishita —who played an important role during her early years. Their care, guidance, and encouragement helped build a strong foundation for her, and we remain grateful for the positive influence they had on her journey.
