Description: We are a brand new daycare center under new management.
We have been open since September 2012 and our goal is to provide children a safe play area, a home away from home, and a high-quality environment for education. We adopt the leading technology and latest teaching methods. We teach our children to accept and love each other regardless of ethnicity, race, and/or religion. We help working parents feel comfortable in knowing that they are leaving their children in a reliable and nurturing environment. In our facility we teach our students through socializing and building of independence & comfortability. We understand the importance of providing a comfortable atmosphere for children to grow in and therefore at iBear all members of our facility come together as a family: children, parents, and staff.
We pride ourselves in knowing children love coming to school at iBear because it feels like their second home. Our facility is specifically designed not only to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children, but to also provide a rich learning atmosphere. Our students learn through various activities such as sing-alongs, centers, audios, visuals, arts & crafts, community walks, trips, and indoor and outdoor play times, just to name a few. Teachers incorporate physical activities for children in their daily lesson plans as our teaching is designed to encourage and enhance imagination, critical thinking, and expand knowledge and speech.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
