I know during the pandemic staffing was hard, and yes there were struggles for staffing or illness. What everyone who rated isn't admitting, is all daycares were going through that struggle. Since then, as Widdle Ones, Rajshree and her husband made a lot of improvements and reached out to the parents for q and a's for input on what changes they hoped to see. They improved the curriculum and made changes to staff for the better of the facility, and we definitely noticed those improvements. They made more efforts to connect with families, doing more involved events and were working on possibly getting organized outings. I really believe they have the family's best interests and continue to try to grow, and they really did great work to prepare and inspire our son for kindergarten. We would recommend and intend to use them again if we decide to have more children. Give widdle ones on carmen road a chance!​

Admittedly by their own letter, they do not have enough staff to care for the children. The…read morefollowing is a copy and paste from the Maple Leaf Administration dated July 12, 2021: "Dear MLCC Families, As many of you are aware, it has been extremely difficult to find and retain qualified staff since the pandemic began. Some of our centers have had to close classrooms or turn away families due to lack of staff. Many businesses are trying to hire more staff to accommodate their needs but the number of qualified candidates applying is very low. This poses a significant challenge for us to operate effectively. In this competitive market, we feel to retain and employ qualified staff members we need to increase our pay scale. As a result, we have found it necessary to implement a tuition increase to our current families which will go into effect the week of August 23rd, 2021. At this time, our hours of operation will remain modified until more qualified staff can be hired. Once the staffing is stable again, we can extend our hours back to "normal". We will do this as soon as possible. We strive to provide the best possible care for your family, and we appreciate you choosing Maple Leaf as your childcare provider. Attached is the new tuition rate sheet. If you have any questions, please speak to your Center Director. Sincerely, Maple Leaf Administration" They increased their tuition rates because they cannot hire enough staff, and they send your child home when they cannot properly provide care for him or her. So essentially, parents are paying for their child to be sent home because MLCC admittedly cannot care for your son or daughter even though you are paying them to do so. Due to the lack of staff, the current staff that are there are overworked resulting in an obvious increase in their stress level which is visually and auditorily evident. One wonders why they cannot hire enough staff??? Maybe if they had a competent director and a more personable assistant director, they might have a bit more luck with "qualified candidates" applying!!!
