Avon Busy Bear

I have been sending my three small children to Vicki's for over 2 years. My kids are always excited when its a "Ms. Vicki day". She manages a safe and reliable atmosphere where the kids have lots of free-play as well as structured learning time each day. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing your children are being cared for and loved on well while a parent is away. Vicki has lots of experience. She has a big heart and has accommodated our needs during special circumstances many times.

Vicki has been a trusted childcare provider for the past 2 years for my three small children. My kids are always excited for "Ms. Vicki days" and look forward to their days in her home with their friends. She maintains a safe and very reliable environment where the kids are offered plenty of free-play with peers. There is nothing like sending your child somewhere you know they are being loved and kept safe! Vicki has a big heart and has gone out of her way many times to accommodate our family and some special circumstances.

We have had two children attend this daycare and both have had great experiences. Our oldest went to preschool knowing many of the things she needs to know going into Kindergarten. The children have many opportunities to play in structured and unstructured settings. There are learning opportunities provided in many different forms. We have been very happy with this service and would recommend her. Ms. Vicki is strict and does have a loud voice, but she loves all the kids she takes care of and gives and gets lots of hugs during the day.

I grew up going to this daycare and never had a bad experience. We currently use this provider for our young daughter. The first week or two our daughter went through the normal “I don’t want to go to daycare routine” but now she is all smiles, practically pulls me into the house, and is running up to Ms. Vicki for a hug. She has rules for the kids which she enforces like no running in the house and no shoes on the furniture but still allows for playtime in the play room, in the garage (winter or rainy days), or fenced in backyard on the nicer days. Our daughter’s vocabulary and social skills have been growing faster since we started her here and we are very thankful for the service Vicki provides at Busy Bear in home daycare.

A very controlling, restrictive environment with lots of yelling. My child thrived when moved into a daycare center where activity and child centered learning was the focus.
