At Maitland Farm we help each child develop his or her potential
at his own pace. We nurture each child's sense of wonder, curiosity, caring
and confidence. Children develop a sense of themselves as capable individuals
as they master a variety of skills--ranging from self help, to motor,
to cognitive. We encourage respect for the environment and for the needs
of others. We do this through a well-balanced program of experiences that
encourages the growth of the “whole child.”
The “4 R’s” are very important at Maitland Farm. By
helping children develop healthy relationships and a sense of respect,
responsibility and resourcefulness, parents and teachers help children
build firm foundations for life.
Maitland’s staff seeks to reach beyond the bounds of our own program
to involve ourselves in community activities that will be of mutual benefit,
as learning is a lifelong process for us all. We seek to conduct ourselves
in a caring and professional manner that will demonstrate our commitment
to quality programs for young children throughout the community.

Our Staff
Maitland’s staff is made up of caring and nurturing individuals
with diverse backgrounds of education and experience. Some have elementary,
early childhood, or related degrees. We require that all Lead Teachers
have at a minimum the Child Development Associate degree (CDA.) Whatever
the experience we each bring to Maitland, each individual has something
of value to share and something of value to learn. To that end we provide
many training opportunities throughout the year. We believe that as adults,
whether teachers or parents, we continue to grow and learn.
Central to all staff is a shared commitment to the happiness and well
being of your child. And we work hard to honor the trust you put in us.
