HEALTH

Maple Leaf, Jr. is mindful of harmful toxins that can be found in every day products, affecting the surrounding environment and air we breath. We have, therefore, made the conscious decision to use, as much as possible, natural wood, Greenguard certified or low VOC paints and products. We sanitize our center with non-toxic cleaners, such as Force of Nature, and use a blend of powerful, antibacterial essential oils as hand sanitizer.
