Maple Bear Tempe

Welcome to the Maple Bear Community​

Where families connect, children grow, and learning extends beyond the classroom.

At Maple Bear, we believe community is at the heart of education. Whether you are enrolled or just exploring, we invite families to join in the joy of discovery through family events, play-based learning opportunities, and partnerships that support children and the neighbourhoods we serve.

Cub Club – Play. Learn. Earn​

Your Passport to Fun Learning Adventures!

The Cub Club is a free community membership program where children play, learn, and earn Cub Cash – a program designed to promote early learning and social development.​

How it works:

  • Children participate in Maple Bear events, story times, and play dates
  • They earn Cub Cash through Maple Bear activities and community challenges
  • Cub Cash is redeemed for prizes, activities, or exclusive experiences at Maple Bear events and partner businesses

Highlights:

  • Hands-on play experiences (pretend shopping, storytelling, holiday markets)
  • Develops early financial literacy, independence, and social skills
  • Complimentary digital Cub Club membership card
  • Open to ALL families – not just enrolled students

  • Art, STEM, and dramatic play activities
