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.

This is our first time at a daycare center from 12 weeks to 6 months and want to point out that it has been such a positive experience! The staff had been wonderful each step of the way. Thank you to the owner who goes above and beyond to make us as parents feel that everything is taken care of and the communication is very quick to respond if anything is needed in your child's day. 10/10 childcare very well organized with great staff. Thank you for being a part of our community.
