My son has been attending Growing Bear since he was 4 months old. I feel he is always in great hands when dropping him off in the mornings. He is always excited to go and see everyone. I am so thankful for their flexibility in scheduling when needing to rearrange for appointments. Testimonial submitted anonymously directly to this site.
