Maple Bear Tempe, located in Arizona, follows the Canadian methodology for early childhood education. The school serves children from 6 weeks to 6 years old, covering stages from infant care through kindergarten. The curriculum emphasizes a bilingual immersion approach, focusing on literacy, mathematics, and science through play-based discovery. Facilities include classrooms designed for age-specific developmental needs and secure outdoor play areas.
A unique feature of the school is its "Maple Bear Quality Assurance" program. Under this initiative, Canadian educators conduct annual inspections and training sessions to ensure local staff adhere strictly to Canadian educational standards and instructional techniques. The daily schedule integrates sensory activities, music, and physical education. By implementing the Canadian strategy of "scaffolding" learning, teachers support children in building upon their existing knowledge at their own pace. This school provides a structured environment for international families seeking an education system based on Canadian practices in a local setting.
