Caroline Bruder, Director
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about fostering early childhood growth. I am Orton-Gillingham certified, which is a multi-sensory approach to teaching reading and spelling that makes learning clear and effective. Most of my experience is in teaching kindergarten, and I am deeply inspired by the Montessori philosophy. I offer a balanced program that prepares students for kindergarten while supporting preschoolers’ developmental needs. I love building meaningful relationships with my students and their families and believe a caring, expert-led environment best helps young learners grow confidently.
Philosophy
At Little Maple Learning, big growth starts small—just like a maple tree! With over 10 years of teaching experience, including many as a kindergarten teacher, I’ve created a warm, home-based preschool where little learners grow strong roots. We blend kindergarten readiness with hands-on, Montessori-inspired exploration. Through play, curiosity, and creativity, children learn at their own pace in a nurturing environment. At Little Maple Learning, we help each child grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy.
Location
Little Maple Learning is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood that’s ideal for young children. Just a block away is a lovely park with a playground designed specifically for ages 3–5—perfect for outdoor play and social time. The neighborhood also features nearby wetlands within a five-minute walk, offering fun nature walks and opportunities for hands-on discovery. Surrounded by safe, residential streets and single-family homes, the area is walk-able with sidewalks throughout—making daily outdoor adventures both easy and safe.
