My oldest daughter was acting out at our previous daycare (home-based) and we were at our wit's end. I had mixed feelings about using a daycare center, however, it has turned out to be the best decision we ever made! The staff is fantastic and my daughters LOVE going (makes it so much easier to get them ready in the morning). We honestly could not be happier. I think my oldest was just bored at our old place and needed more of a preschool setting. Would highly recommend Maple Leaf to others.
