Recent parent reviews
According to the reviews I was mislead. I don’t play about my kids, with anyone. I was expecting to be met with a rude and unprofessional business. However, my children were enrolled in a timely manner. They helped with all of my paperwork and they were very efficient. They also provide transportation, take the kids on trips, and feed them well. They are located in the front and it is visible for others to see. They teach the kids a lot of information according to their age. They work to help unruly children like mine with deescalation. They are knowledgeable and most importantly very clean inside and out! They follow COVID procedures, kids change their shoes, and they respect you. They are an asset to the community and have really nice staff. The owners are great always smiling, and funny stories to share. They provide resources and have a lot of younger staff who are also kid friendly and nice. Go support this business ❤️
Cynthia FlowersAug 8, 2023Really horrible place!!!
Esteban UrregoSep 26, 2022Both of my kids have been at Little Bear since the age of 3 & 5 yrs old. I could count on them for they're safe transportation to and from school, good summer camp activities. My children loved the staff there, they felt like part of a family, made many friends and learned very much. Birthdays, holidays and special occasions are always highlighted, there's always a reason to party at Little Bear. 🐻
Doris RiosJun 25, 2021I wouldn’t take your children here. Had to remove my son due to reasons I can’t discuss as their is an active investigation. As another Parent of this community avoid yourself the hassle and place your children In a daycare that will create a happy place to learn and grow.
Gloria Maria SmithMar 15, 2021Bad unprofessional owner
