Maple Tree Academy's West LA campus (located at 2920 S. Sepulveda Blvd) is one of four Maple Tree Academy locations in the Los Angeles area and provides early childhood care and education for children from infancy through transitional kindergarten.
The West LA campus of Maple Tree Academy serves infants through transitional kindergarten, offering full- and part-time placements during standard weekday hours. The program structure emphasizes long-term developmental support from infancy into the early school years.
The curriculum combines elements of RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers), Reggio Emilia and Soka (Value Creation) education. Classrooms and project work are used to support child-initiated exploration, documentation, and collaborative learning; the environment is described as an important element of the learning setting.
Prospective families are asked to sign up for and attend an in-person group tour of the campus prior to submitting an application or joining the waitlist. Tours are scheduled for each campus and children may attend when accompanied by a parent.
For children around 3–4 years, the program emphasizes project-based learning within a Reggio Emilia–inspired curriculum, with activities such as art, music, dance, dramatic play, gardening, math and science, and access to an Atelier.
Presented for children about 2–3 years, this program provides areas for exploration and creativity, guided by a Reggio Emilia–inspired curriculum; scheduled naps and meals occur and toilet learning is initiated as children are ready.
Described for children 3 months to 2 years, this program follows individualized daily routines of feeding, napping and diapering and includes activities such as music, reading, gross motor development, language and indoor and outdoor play, implemented with an RIE-inspired approach and a primary caregiver model.
Transitional Kindergarten extends the older preschool curriculum for children approximately 4–5.5 years with more focused and structured projects intended to prepare children for kindergarten.
