Smart Bear Learning Center exceeded my expectations from day one. The initial tour was thorough and all my questions were answered with care. When my daughter struggled with separation anxiety, the staff handled it with so much patience and warmth, which gave me real peace of mind as a mom. They have been incredibly flexible with scheduling changes, and when my baby had an allergic reaction at home, the team responded with genuine empathy and concern. Every single staff member is friendly and welcoming, which makes drop-offs so much easier. My daughter absolutely loves the food, and I appreciate the variety she gets to try. She also enjoys the toys, music, and outdoor time, and the seasonal events like the Easter Bunny visit are such a fun touch. It's wonderful to see her thrive socially and developmentally, and the structured nap time is a bonus. The Procare app is also very easy to use for staying connected throughout the day. We are so happy we chose Smart Bear Learning Center and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm, caring, and well-organized daycare!
Ruli BooneApr 23, 2026I just transferred my son out of this daycare but I would still recommend Smart Bear Learning to other parents. The teachers my son had were communicative and I could tell they really cared about my son and all children in their class. The front office staff was also helpful-- during our tenure at SBL we met with them a couple of times as our son had a difficult time transitioning into the infant room and they were always willing to help and hear our concerns. There are improvements that could be made, but overall, we had a positive experience here.
karen campSep 13, 2024We recently joined Smart Bear and made the right decision! Environment & Facilities: The facility is bright, clean, and welcoming. The classrooms are well-organized with engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning through play. The outdoor play area is secure and spacious, featuring a variety of equipment that promotes physical activity and exploration. Staff: The staff is outstanding. They are not only professional and attentive but also incredibly nurturing. It’s clear that they genuinely care about each child's well-being and development. The teachers and caregivers are always smiling and seem to have an intuitive understanding of the children’s needs and moods. Regular updates and communication with parents are a huge plus! Programs & Activities: The day care offers a variety of programs and activities that stimulate creativity, cognitive development, and social skills. From petting zoos, water table days, puppet shows and music sessions, each day is thoughtfully planned to keep the children engaged and excited. Food & Nutrition: The meals provided are delicious and they cater to my child's food sensitivities! My daughter is full and happy when we pick her up! Overall Experience: What sets Smart Bear apart is their commitment to creating a warm, loving environment where children feel safe and valued. The staff’s genuine enthusiasm and dedication shine through, making it a place where kids not only learn but also thrive. If you're looking for a day care that combines high-quality care with enriching experiences, this is an excellent choice. I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives and feel confident knowing they are in such good hands. Highly recommended!
Sasha HaySep 2, 2024We started with Smart Bear last month and love it! Our toddler loves the activities (especially crafts, Zumba, and music time) and comes home talking nonstop about her day. We're so grateful to have found a place that offers so much and has such amazing flexibility. We were even able to work with the team to choose days that worked for us rather than being on a set Mon/Weds/Fri or Tues/Thurs schedule, which was a major standout when compared to other daycares! The staff are so friendly and nurturing, we're so lucky to have found Smart Bear!
Leanna Rutledge JacksonAug 29, 2024We love Smart Bear! As new parents we didn't realize how lucky we were to find a fantastic daycare the first time around. Our son loves his time there, the teachers and staff are so engaged and their communication with parents during the day is thorough and proactive! We have peace of mind knowing our son is in such trustworthy hands while we're at work. We cannot recommend Smart Bear enough!
Elisabeth WerthAug 29, 2024Our two daughters attend SBLC, one since she was four m/o (she’s now 3 y/o) & our youngest who just started this week (5 m/o). We love, love, love SBLC! Top notch care & teaching from their teachers, curriculum, food (it always smells so good!), they have such fun events for the kids & even the entire family! We get to see what our kiddos are up to & learning through the Tadpoles app incl. photos. The teachers & team are always open to discussing any challenges or issues with an open & creative mind. Both of our daughters are so smiley & happy at SBLC, which gives me peace of mind & confidence they are genuinely being cared for. Personally, I love the mommy community at SBLC too! We were so appreciative that they stayed open through 2020, with the upmost care for cleanliness & health. I could go on & on about SBLC, Colleen, Laura & the entire SBLC Team are just wonderful & we’re so happy our girls attend this amazing daycare/school! 💕

Questions parents ask about Smart Bear Learning
How many infants and toddlers can Smart Bear Learning take?
- Colorado licenses Smart Bear Learning for 10 infants and 32 toddlers. These are the bands the state publishes separately and they do not add up to the licence total, so treat each as its own ceiling. A licensed place is not the same as an open place, so ask about current availability.
Who can help me find child care near Smart Bear Learning?
- Smart Bear Learning sits in the area covered by the Douglas County Early Childhood Council and the referral agency Child Care Innovations. Colorado funds these bodies to help families find and pay for care locally, and they can answer questions about openings and cost that a licence record cannot.
Does Smart Bear Learning accept CCCAP child care assistance?
- Yes. The state record shows Smart Bear Learning authorised for the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program. Authorisation means the provider can accept CCCAP families, not that it has a funded place open now, so ask before you apply.
