I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. All matters are handled in a very unprofessional manner. I hate to even say race in a post but I feel very strongly that our child was treated differently as a result of his ethnicity. He was separated from another child of his same age and race because “they were too similar”. It is a new facility with new owners who we don’t feel truly understand the needs of children or having structure in the daily agenda. They are understaffed and frequently we found 3’s in rooms with 5’s which is unheard of anywhere else. If you are looking for childcare in St John’s. I would strongly recommended looking further than Maple Bear

This daycare is clean, organized, and beautiful. I received excellent service during my visit to the facility, and I found the methodology presented very interesting. Everyone was very friendly, and I noticed that the children are very well cared for. I only didn't enroll my baby because it's far from my house, unfortunately.
