Bear Essentials Academy Next Generation Kids

Bear Essentials have been the best place ever to take my son they really do care for every child there as their own, there has been some rumors about a previous employee that no longer works there, I have never worried about taking my son there and never will, I highly recommend going here you will not be disappointed.

Bear Essentials Academy has been a true blessing for our family. All three of my youngest children have gone through BE since infancy, and I cannot say enough good things about the environment, the staff, and especially the incredible teachers, including Mrs. Giti, Wendy Jones, Mrs Britney Futch, Mrs Cindy and the owner, Wendy Pendleton. From day one, I have felt complete peace knowing my kids are safe, loved, and truly seen for who they are. What sets BE apart is the partnership they create with parents. As a working mom, I often wish I had more time to stay home and be fully present for my children during the day. Bear Essentials fills that gap in the most meaningful way. The teachers, like Mrs. Jones, support and reinforce the same values and parenting style we use at home, which brings such consistency and peace of mind. I genuinely feel like we are on the same team, raising these children together. Even when concerns have come up over the last six years, I’ve always been met with a listening, compassionate ear—never defensiveness or resistance. We work together to find solutions that make me, as a parent, feel safe, heard, respected, and prioritized. The staff takes a personal interest in my kids’ growth—emotionally, spiritually, and academically. They challenge each of my children at the right pace, even moving them into more advanced curriculum when they’re ready. Giving extra hugs when needed on the mornings that are hard, and paying attention to emotional needs. That kind of individual attention and care is something you don’t often find. Communication with the school is excellent—open, transparent, and always thoughtful. I always know what’s happening in the classroom, and I feel like a true partner in their education and development. Bear Essentials Academy isn’t just a school—it’s a village. And I’m so grateful my children have had the chance to grow up here.

Have been sending my kids here for a few years now & it’s been great! They do so many fun activities, eat delicious (& nutritious!) food, etc. Both my kiddos love going to daycare! They love their teachers & have made life long friends 💕

My son has been attending this daycare for over 2 years now. It's been such a great place for him to learn and grow. The teachers and staff have been amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids, and are very kind, friendly, & understanding with parents. I am grateful we enrolled him into Bear Essentials.

Our kids love going to daycare. They have a great preschool style program and learn something new everyday. They are amazing with our school schedule and bus our daughter back to daycare from school. Tabbie, Kenzie and all the other teachers are the best!!! It’s also rare that you find a daycare that offers part time rates! We couldn’t have made a better choice.
