We had a great experience with Mamatha and her team. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive. Our child loves going every day and has learned so much in a nurturing and safe environment. Communication is great, and we always feel informed and supported. Highly recommend read more

This was the first daycare my daughter went to at 18months of age. To my surprise, she adjusted very fast and was comfortable with the caretakers, other kids. She is little picky with her food, but she liked the food prepared by Mamatha. I like that the food was healthy with veggies and home cooked. Mamatha cared a lot and even prepared her favorites like pasta when she refused some foods. Over all, we had a very positive and home like careexperience at the daycare. read more

This daycare is one I would trust with any of my children. They provide food and snacks vegetarian only and while we are not of Indian background we greatly appreciated the exposure to different flavors and spices for our son. Our son was always treated with love, attention, patience and care. Hours of operation are so flexible with more coverage both opening early and late pick ups it beats any other offerings across the entire Bay Area. I love this group and they have the most endearing family ... we miss them very much and would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

We had very good experience with Mamta & her team at the daycare. They take good care of the kiddos. Our kid was not very much into eating thru out the 2 years. But the caretakers made sure that he finishes every meal and were very patient with him. Highly recommended overall. read more

I had my child here for 4-5days in 2021(during pandemic). While I was getting parents reference about this place, one of them shared an incident where their child was threatened often to put in garage as a disciplinary action. I was not comfortable putting my child in an environment where fear is used to discipline a child. I do not know the validity of the incident but I wasn't letting my child continue there when he was still non-verbal while there were other options available. read more

Mamatha provided a caring and nourishing daycare for my 15m old. The staff are also very loving and helped my son eat, play, sleep and make friends. Mamatha also provides fresh and tasty home cooked hot food, which my son enjoyed. All in all, it's a great daycare and one that I always recommend to my friends. read more

I was so relieved to find Maple Leaf Family Daycare [at Fremont] after having a terrible experience with my previous daycare (Komal's Licensed daycare at Fremont). The staff at the Komal's Licensed daycare didn't want to put efforts and were often neglectful. They at the old daycare always complained that my son is active, within a month they discontinued and asked us to find another daycare. It was very stressful for me and my wife because we both are working parents. We were constantly worried about the well-being of our son. When we first started bringing our child to Maple Leaf Family daycare, we were bit hesitant. We had been burned before, and didn't want to get our hopes up. But I am so glad we took a chance. Mamatha and the staff is amazing. They are caring, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure my child is happy and healthy. My child loved going to daycare. He came happy and excited to tell me about all the fun things he did. I am so grateful to have found Maple Leaf Family daycare. They are truly a blessing. Here are some of the specific things I love about Mamatha and the daycare: The facility is clean, safe, and well-maintained. Mamatha will never complain and send kid back home, even if they are active or don't sleep in afternoon, etc. The staff are always willing to communicate with us and answer our questions. Overall, I highly recommend Maple Leaf daycare. read more

My son went to this daycare for more than a year. The staff is very friendly and caring with the kids. My son developed a strong bond with the teachers and other kids and still remembers the teachers names. Ms. Binafsha and Ms. Mamatha are patient and love what they do - that shows up when the kids return back home happy everyday. With both parents working, she made sure that the kids were fed a snack around 4:30ish so that the parents get some breather on returning from work to prepare food. Overall, we recommend this daycare. read more

My daughter started attending this daycare when she was 7 months old. She was very happy then I also started my second kid after having such a positive experience and I also recommended this day care to my other friends and family. Both of my children had a great time at daycare. Mamatha, the daycare owner, feeds the kids their lunch and snacks and makes sure they eat properly, much as we do at home. The thing I liked best is that they have separate rooms for nap, play, and diaper changing times. Mamatha and her entire family truly loves kids, they carry and hugs them, kids don't miss grandparents as I have seen my kids enjoying Mamatha's parents company. When we pick up kids in the evening, she will give a full report on what the kids did, how much they ate, and whether they napped. My kids started public school now, but till date she will message to check how are kids ! I definitely recommend this daycare. Thank you for all the love and care! read more

I heard so many good things about Mamata and MapleLeaf before touring the place hence was persistent to get the appointment for over a month and it was the best decision I made for my son. Mamata was very clear about the daycare operations and very endearing towards my son since the 1st meet. He connected well with her instantly which made the process very easy for us. She makes delicious n nutritious homemade lunches and snacks and my son never had any issue. He always finished his food and even they helped him finish his breakfast. They're very flexible with the timings and loving with the kids. She had different helpers during our 2yrs time with her but all of them echoed what Mamata is. That only proves her ability to work with ppl who share same values and love towards the kids. Overall I recommended Mamata to many of my new parent friends and will continue to do so. Kids deserve the best and this daycare is hands down, the best. read more

Excellent! Highly recommend. My kid attended MapleLeaf for 2 years. He started at 2 yrs. Mamatha is highly qualified, responsible and caring teacher. She provided a very loving and safe environment for my kid. The lunches provided were wholesome and nutritious. Our kid made some very good friends at the daycare and the friendship has continued into pre-k. You won't be disappointed sending your kid to Mapleleaf. read more

My son went to Maple leaf for more than a year. He started when he was a year old. Mamatha and her team helped him with a smooth transition. My son loves the food she prepares and he is happy and full when he gets back home. He loves to go to daycare as all the staff members took good care of him and made him feel like second home. Mamatha provides updates on timely basis and ensures there is clear communication. I am very thankful for all the care and support and would strongly recommend this daycare. read more

Maple leaf daycare owner Ms Mamatha and the staff, Ms Benafsha and others are extremely caring and loving towards the kids. My daughter loves going to this daycare everyday and had made a great bond with all of the care takers. The food provided is healthy and nutritious and they always make sure that my kid never go home hungry. I would recommend this daycare facility to every parent for their infant. read more

My child attended this daycare for a year. The caregivers created a loving and safe environment, that made my kid feel happy every day.My child enjoyed her time at the daycare and never had any complaints. The communication between the daycare and parents was exceptional, and would get my child's progress and update - every day. I highly recommend this family-based daycare to any parent. read more

Terrible experience with this place. The lady running this place is so rude when you call to ask basic questions, wonder how kids are treated when parents aren't around. Also, they seem to run an auto garage or car repair shop in front of their garage!! We made a random trip to inquire about the place and we're shocked to find kids milling around the garage and there were open containers of motor oil, vehicle spare parts etc lying around. A tall young adult male (likely the owner's son or friend?!) had a few friends around and they were dismantling a car seat and doing some mechanical work! When we asked the lady, Mumatha, about this, she was outright dismissive and even abusive. I don't know if this was because she was being defensive or it was due to her poor language skills. I'd be in cold sweat and terrorized leaving my previous little one in such an environment. Thankfully we found a much safer, cleaner and more communicative option nearby. Parents - your precious ones are too precious to put them at risk, more so when they are too young to CoMmunicate with you. No job should be so valuable that you'd knowingly put your child at risk. Read Mike's review. Our experience was exactly of similar nature and frequency :( !!!! Just because a place looks like a family environment, is located in a safe residential area, provides food ... does not mean the place may be physically, cognitively, and emotionally safe for your precious little ones ... more so when you are aware. I wish we had seen Mike's review before we went through the torrid experience with Mumatha and were subject to her unhinged anger when simply trying to ask questions to confirm this daycare was the right choice for us. read more

I was so happy to send my son to Maple Leaf Family Daycare. He enjoyed going everyday, Mamatha and other staff are so friendly, loving and caring it was second home for my son. She prepares fresh home made nutrition food for kids daily, My son love to eat her food. The Preschool program had so much of fun activities everyday and my son loved it. Most important part of the daycare was Mamatha takes time to celebrate the kids birthday also celebrates all the occasion by decorating the daycare. Which is awesome. Maple leaf family daycare is very clean and hygienic. They have a separate areas for feeding, playing, sleeping, and diaper changing. They also train the kids for potty. Mamatha and her family is so attached to kids. Which is a great plus for the daycare. Mamatha spouse and kids comes out of there work schedule to greet and play with the kids. So kids feel it's like home. I will be happy to refer more of my friends and family to Maple Leaf Family Daycare. Thank you for all that you did Mamatha read more

Our son goes to Maple leaf and has thoroughly loved his time there. This was his first day care experience and the love /attention from the staff has helped him adjust to the place and he looks forward to going there. I have also appreciated how the teachers/staff take personal attention in ensuring kids have their food in time, check their health periodically and inform parents immediately when they have fever of any other ailments. A big thank you folks ! read more

My kid goes this daycare and I don't have enough words to express the gratitude. He is loved, cared for and taught well. My kid has hard times eating solids, Mamatha and her team have taken care of him despite that and he is learning. I am very happy that we chose to send our kid to this day care. He loves going to this place and never feels homesick because of the love he is getting. Thank you Mamatha! read more

We sadly did not have a good experience at Maple Leaf daycare. Mamatha was not someone we could work with and we left after 3 months. We believe that the family and the daycare provider should be a partnership. Although Mamatha said she agreed with that approach, she never seemed to compromise on her side. We did everything we could to accomodate her requests to make her life easier, but we always heard lots of complaints about how difficult our son was making it for her daycare and her routine. Communication in general was very poor. Whenever we would bring up any feedback to her she would reject it and get defensive. She always seemed to complain about our son. She never smiled or said anything nice about him. After a while it was draining not to hear any positives. One thing to be aware of if you are a dog owner. At the initial interview we made it very clear we had a dog (because we know that some daycare providers have children with allergies etc.) She told us no problem. And then one day she made a huge fuss about our son arriving with some pet hair on his clothes. If you know anything about households who have dogs, you know you have to expect some hair since that is the nature of owning a pet. I remember that morning he had a few hairs on his clothes, but nothing to get upset to the level she was angry at. When we called to speak with her she told us "I don't care if you have a dog, or a tiger! I don't want you to bring your son with any pet hair on him at all. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION". We gave her every opportunity to tell us if our son, or we were too difficult to work with. Or to talk to us to discuss any difficulties. Whilst she never gave up - she never stopped complaining either and just made us feel like awful parents. The final sign which should have been obvious; was that every morning our son would arrive and upon seeing her would cry and cling to us. This is not the kind of relationship that we want for our son and his daycare provider. Some more notes: At the initial interview Mamatha asked if our son was a "crybaby". An innocuous comment at the time, but this should have been a sign about her overall attitude. She complained about the poor quality diapers we were providing. They were Huggies diapers. So I'm not sure why she would accuse us of something like that. Complained that the bibs we provided were stained and dirty. My son was 14 months old at the time, is teething and is learning how to eat - so it is normal to expect there was going to be some stains. All of his clothes and bibs are washed regularly. Apparently this was not good enough and we had to buy brand new bibs which she would see them get slightly damp and switch them out immediately. Returning them to us in such large quantities each day that we had to buy 30 bibs to keep up with her each week. She also compared our child's walking development to the others and when asked to refrain from doing so (please note my son has a disorder that delays his learning capabilities), she continued on regardless. Even stating that the 'fat American kids' and the Indian kids she looked after all managed to walk before he did. One afternoon we were having a longer than normal conversation after picking up our son and I was scolded by her "Don't rock him - treat him like a big boy. If you do that, he'll want me to do that and you'll make it harder for me." read more

I was so worried when we started looking for a daycare for my one year old. After visiting many daycares we decided to send our 1 year old daughter to Maple Leaf Family daycare. It did not take more than 30 mints after touring this daycare and meeting Mamatha, that we were going to send our daughter here. Daycare is always clean and provides healthy lunches. One thing I really like about it was that it was parent-baby led flexible schedule unlike other daycares where kids have fix schedule. My daughter always looks forward to going to Daycare. Thank you for all the love and care! Definitely recommend this daycare. read more

One of the best decisions I made for my child. My child was not socializing and talking before joining the daycare and within one month, he showed a huge difference in communicating and following instructions. Mamatha Garu had spent time listening to us and understood our concerns. Her place is very well maintained with lots of opportunities for children to explore and learn. I am glad I came across this wonderful family daycare. read more

I have been sending my 2 year old to Maple Leaf Daycare for one year now and I am very happy with my decision! When looking for daycares in Fremont, I came across this one and after meeting Mamatha and her family, I knew this is where I wanted to send my child. My daughter always looks forward to going to Mamatha's daycare every morning. I appreciate her for celebrating every small moment, such as birthdays and graduations, in each child's life. She is very polite and understanding of the parents and makes sure their child is well taken care of. She keeps the environment safe and clean. I would highly recommend this daycare to any families! read more

This review is long pending. I sent my son to this daycare at 18 months and he stayed there for 8-9 months before moving to a preschool. Mamatha, her family and Monica took very good care of him. My son had a very time initially adjusting to the change since he had always stayed at home but Mamatha was quite patient with him. My son being a picky water would take food from home and she would always feed him that and other food as well whenever he seemed hungry. She celebrated his birthday so well and he was sooo happy on that day. A child who used to cry while going to daycare started looking forward to going there as the time passed. Thank you for the love and care :) I vote 100% for this daycare!! read more

Mamatha and her team have been one of the best caregivers for both my kids. Day care was always very clean and tidy. Kids were lovingly fed home made vegetarian food (our preference). Knowing how my kids are poor eaters and the range of their tantrums she did an amazing job with ensuring they eat well!. Kids grew up very well in line with their age related expectations. It always felt safe and secure to leave kids with Maple leaf family day care. We (wife and myself) could work peacefully with complete dedication due to the exceptional attention that Mamatha provided. Apart from looking after kids there were a lot of fun activities the kids did that they were excited to talk about when coming home. Language was not an issue. We dont speak english at home so we thought kids might have problem communicating. But it wasnt a problem at all. As parents of 2 very active boys we highly recommend Mamatha's day care. Please let me know if you have any questions. read more

I do not write reviews very easily but now its right time to share my experience after associating with this daycare for 2 long years. We are very happy with the care and affection they (Mamtha and her family) provide. They have lot of patience to deal with the kids. She prepares fresh food daily and feed them. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent who wants to be at peace and spend their time at work. The care and the love they provide is incredible. read more

Our daughter was at Mamatha's day care for close to 15 months. Overall the experience was great. The sense of hygiene was very good. Our daughter never fell sick. She also got to interact with Mamatha's daughter and her grand parents so she got a wholesome experience. Our daughter also liked the food and she stayed healthy all through. read more

When I was searching for a daycare facility, I came across this daycare, heard very good feedback from the other moms. My son attended Maple Leaf for about 15 months before he moved to preschool. Mamatha and her team are really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for the kids. One thing I really like is daycare is always clean and provides healthy lunches and the kids are well fed every day. Mamatha is really friendly and accommodative to support parents schedules. She takes time to celebrate kids birthday and holidays. Thank you for all the love and care! Definitely recommend this daycare. read more

Our son joined Maple Leaf when he was 18 months and was there for 6 months. We discontinued due to Covid pandemic. :-( Mumta and her family takes care of kids very well. Our son is a bad eater- Mumta handled his tantrums so end of the day, he was happy. Mumta is very friendly. She would tell what he ate, what activities did he do, how well did he sleep etc. The daycare is kept very clean. There is separate diaper changing place and a neat and tidy sleeping room. Also, there is plenty of outdoor space will lots of toys. So the kids don't get bored and remain happy :-) . If we asked, Mumta would send pics and videos of activities. While he was there, couple of birthdays and Halloween was celebrated. For Halloween, Mumta gave some goodies to all the kids. Also, our son learnt a lot- food, names, signs etc and made friends. He misses this daycare. We will definitely send him here after the pandemic is over. Overall, we were very satisfied with the care Mumta provided and would recommend her daycare. read more

Mamatha, her family and Monica have taken the best care of my son. As a first time mom going back to work I struggled for months to find an available, affordable daycare for my son. My husband found Mamatha through yelp and from our first meeting with Mamatha, we were very comfortable. She even held her hands out and our son willing let her carry him. I cannot say enough good things about Maple Leaf. They are flexible for pick up drop offs, the facility is spacious, very clean and nice. If needed, there is a quiet room for children to nap. There is also a backyard area for the kids to play when the weather is nice. I am truly sad that my son will be switching to a different daycare since we are moving. He has been with Mamatha since he was 5 months old and loves it there. If you are in need of daycare, do not hesitate to check this place out. Maple Leaf Family daycare is wonderful. read more

We were in a great panic when we were looking for a daycare for my son weeks before my bonding time and in such short notice. Then, we found Mamatha and Maple Leaf Family Daycare. Being a new parent and leaving a total stranger to take care of your baby is hard, but after meeting Mamatha and her family, we knew that our son was in good hands. Mamatha's family and her associate, Monica, takes care of the kids very well. The daycare area consists practically all of the first floor and a good size backyard for the bigger kids to play. There's a separate room where kids would nap when they are accustomed to less noise. IF you have an infant, you may need to send over a spare bouncer so that there's someplace your child can lounge and drink the bottle (or watch the other kids) when not in the crib or with Mamatha and her family. I recommend Maple Leaf Family Daycare due to Mamatha's family's care for my son. Addtional upside with Maple Leave Family Daycare is that the rates are affordable, and Mamatha is very flexible when it comes to drop off and pick up schedules. read more

I'm not a yelp review person but Mamatha and her family's affection made me write one! We have been sending our kid to this day care for the past 6 months and we are very happy with the care they provide. Mamatha and her family show lot of affection and care.. They have lot of patience to deal with the kids.She prepares fresh food daily and feed them. I highly recommend this day care to any parent who wants to be at peace and spend their time at work. The care and the love they provide is incredible. read more

We are very fortunate to have come across Maple Leaf Family Daycare! Mamantha and her family is very loving towards our son. They treat him like he is one of their own. Mamantha is also very flexible and supportive of our work schedule. That helps lessen the stress especially when we are stuck in traffic! read more

We have been sending our kid since she was 11 months old - initially, we were really worried about sending our kid to the day care. But the proximity to our home, play ground, the family like atmosphere which consists of grandparents and kids in their home helped ease our minds. The whole family has been loving & welcoming and most of all they take care of my kid well right from feeding to changing and playing with my kid. read more

I have been sending my son to this day care since he was 2 years old. We had just moved from Texas and he had never been to day care. He had always stayed with the grand parents. But the transition was smooth and easy and this was possible due to the tender nurturing care provided by this day care. It is truly a second family to me. All the members in their family are involved in taking care of my son. They make sure he eats, sleeps on time, plays. His vocabulary has exploded after he joined the day care and he has become more social. Very flexible schedule since we both work long hours and when we have been late several times they have been patient with us and taken care of my son. They helped potty train my son. I truly appreciate all that they do for my son and thus help me able to work the hours I work and still make sure he gets the love and attention. read more

We started sending our daughter to Maple Leaf when she was 9 months old and she stayed there for almost 3 years. These 3 years have been a real blessing for us, our daughter has grown up so much not just physically but as a person as well. Mamatha has been really wonderful to work with, she's taken such good care of our daughter. From the time when our daughter was an infant, till the time she's ready to start pre-school she's helped our daughter develop all the right habits. These 3 years went by like a breeze, we never had to worry about eating habits for our daughter, she was taught well by Mamatha. Our daughter developed really good social skills, she was always taught correctly to clean up after playtime. Mamatha offered fresh home made food on daily basis, fresh fruits and milk to all the kids. She was very flexible to take care of our daughter if we were ever running late from work. The daycare was impeccably clean and well maintained and the best part was the birthday celebrations and festival celebrations at the daycare which gave our daughter a nice feel to the diversity of celebrating all festivals while still enjoying like a child. The home environment was a must for us for our daughter to value relationships with grand parents and Mamatha provided us just that. Our daughter loved going to the daycare all these 3 years. Starting from clean and well kept daycare, good sleeping arrangements for kids, good healthy food, flexible timings, developing excellent social skills, good playtime and learning time, valuable time with grand parents, festival celebrations, Mamatha's daycare had it all. As parents we never had to worry about anything about our daughter these last 3 years, we were very lucky to find a spot for our daughter at Mamatha's daycare. We highly recommend Maple Leaf Family daycare read more

Our baby started going to Maple Leaf Family Daycare since 3 months old and now she is 16 months. We were very nervous of leaving our baby at the daycare but we feel thankful we found Maple Leaf. During the very first visit, Mamtha's warm and kind approach towards my baby and to us made me feel that this is the daycare for our baby. Maple Leaf daycare has clean atmosphere. Mamtha, and her whole family together with Monica are caring and nurturing. They always make sure baby eats well, gets her naps, is clean, and they also go beyond to adjust baby food as needed. Maple Leaf also have age appropriate learning activities. We referred our friend and they are also sending their daughter to Maple Leaf. read more

I was happy sending my son here and would definitely recommend this place. Lots of love and good wishes! read more

Apart from looking after kids there were a lot of fun activities the kids did that they were excited to talk about when coming home. English is not our native language so we thought kids might have problem communicating. But it was not a problem at all. As a father of 2 active boys I highly recommend Mamatha's day care. Please let me know if you have any questions. read more
