Maple Leaf Childcare Center

Since 1988 Maple Leaf Childcare Center has been family owned and operated, giving children ages six weeks through twelve years the foundation they need to build self-esteem and become life long learners.

Linda and John Moran began their operation in Guilderland, New York, with a licensed home-based center that quickly expanded to the Carman Rd child care facility in Guilderland, then licensed for forty-one children, and have now expanded to seven centers and a total license capacity of eight hundred and thirty-two children.

Maple Leaf Childcare's core values are safety, family, nature, discovery, and play. Maple Leaf Childcare Center is committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where children will learn to become life long learners through positive childhood experiences. We are dedicated to providing the best home away from home for your child while, at the same time, fostering close ties between the childcare center and families.
