My daughter begs me to bring her here, this place teaches your kids about Jesus and she is always singing and talking about Jesus now. She keeps telling me, "I want to learn about JESUS" all of the time! We trust these people and love that she comes in and come home with a big smile on her face everytime. 😊 🥰

What ages does LITTLE BEAR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER accept?

Does this page show inspection results for LITTLE BEAR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER?
