Umm as an educator i dont find maplebear any special in alot of ways. Just that their teachers are paid better therefore in a sense happier in a way doing their work(but subjective because there will always be people with better salary and still be a piece of lazy a**). Most private schools are ranging at the 1.5 per month for the lower end and up to 3.5 for super lux marketed schools. May i suggest looking into a one standing centre and have a look at their environment and resources and also ratio if that might justify the fees u are paying? Sometimes smaller schools are less havoc in a sense and dont just focus of their marketing but actual quality of their school. Cant name names because i have no direct contact to share good preschools but there have been educator friends who chose this instead of franchises and big name schools. Sorry not very helpful comment.
