About the Provider
Welcome to the Maplewood KinderCare! We are a nationally accredited program through National Early Childhood Program Accreditation. We also maintain a Four Star rating (the highest rating) through the Minnesota Parent Aware Program. We are located behind White Bear Avenue, across from Perkin’s. When people ask me what sets us apart from other centers, I tell them that it’s our teachers. The dedication and excitement they bring with them everyday is amazing. Every child that is part of their day is lucky. I look forward to new children joining our school and the adventures they will bring to us.
