My son attended Mamabear daycare from 18 months to 5 years. If he had his choice he would still be there. When you start at Mamabear you instantly become part of the family and Miss Amy and her team make it easy for you to never want to leave. They care for each kid like family, preparing daily homemade meals, working on creative art projects (my kitchen wall is full!!) and playing together in the park or back yard. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy and Mamabear daycare to anyone who is looking!!
Nicola RyanOct 10, 2025Both of my children have attended daycare at MamaBear Daycare. My youngest attended daycare for the past two years, while my oldest attended during the summer (while school was out). My youngest starts pre-k this year. Amy and her team were absolutely amazing. She provided unconditional love and care to my children. She offered nutritious meals, daily enrichment and education. My son loved the other teachers and looked forward to spending his time the the gym/outdoor play space. With lack of family in area, Amy provided relief and consistent/reliable care. I would recommend Mamabear daycare to my family/friends and would reach out to her for summer care for my children.
Megan GardnerSep 9, 2025A True gem in childcare in the region. They have become an extension of our family. Our 2 year old son attends their program and he loves it so much!
Brianna FanoJan 2, 2024Amy and her team cared for my two toddlers for almost a year before we moved. They have been great care providers and have taught my two children so much. They really strike the balance between play and learning, and my kids loved being under their care. My kids asked to go to Amy’s all weekend long, which says how much they enjoyed their days with Amy and their friends.
Ursulina RamirezJun 25, 2021Absolutely amazing! I love Amy! She’s so helpful and anytime I need childcare this is the place I will always send my son. Beautiful place. Kids get along so well. I definitely recommend!
