FAQ

What exactly does the Maple Bear curriculum entail?

The Maple Bear curriculum blends an inquiry-based approach with a child-centric system, emphasizing core subjects such as reading, science, and maths. It integrates multilingual teaching and encourages comprehensive development. Through this, children experience meaningful interactions, fostering creativity and self-expression. This nurtures their physical, emotional, and social growth, preparing them for school and beyond.

Maple Bear introduces ecoliteracy early, emphasizing environmental awareness and sustainability. The program integrates nature connection, responsibility towards the environment, and activities like outdoor exploration, eco-themed storytelling, and sensory play. Children engage in recycling, nature activities, and eco-themed events, cultivating a lasting bond with the environment and its inhabitants.

All Maple Bear staff receive intensive training in pedagogy and methodology from global experts, ensuring education is based on the latest research and best practices. Unique to Maple Bear, every staff member at each nursery worldwide receives annual training from these experts. Furthermore, annual quality assurance checks are conducted globally to maintain operational standards and exceptional program execution.

Maple Bear places high value on transparent communication with parents. Using a dedicated app, parents can track their child's activities and directly communicate with staff. Teachers send daily, weekly, and monthly updates tailored to each child. Additionally, workshops and events are organized, enabling parents to engage, share, and grow alongside their children.

Maple Bear facilities boast eco-themed classrooms, libraries, play areas, and community spaces designed for children's comfort and curiosity-driven learning. The minimalist interiors reduce overstimulation while promoting inquiry. Every facility prioritizes safety, ensuring a secure environment. Outdoor and indoor play zones cater to physical development, creativity, and social skills enhancement, embodying the Maple Bear ethos of encouraging exploration and fostering a passion for learning.
