I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter started this daycare not knowing many words, would only whine grunt and cry...after attending this daycare the was able to talk, use words properly and talk in full sentences. Learned her colors, her name how to spell it, her numbers,ABC's, songs, etc..I only had one incident at the daycare and that was NOT with the owner or any workers it was with another little girl that hurt my daughter. It was handled very professionally and in a timely manner. I do have to say how pleased I was! I would recommend this daycare to everyone as I have! There of course will always be a few bad apples that try to ruin something but I had and will still have an awesome experience with this place. This summer coming up my daughter will be returning to this facility for summer time till school starts back up. This will make for over a year she has been going there! Great job little bear daycare! Keep up the great work!

Totally unprofessional and arrogant. Can't handle kids the way she should. Always scolding children for things that aren't necessary. Will make you pick up your child for ridiculous things because she thinks she's a doctor even thought her presumptions are totally off! Will Never use this daycare again even if it was my only option!

I had two kids go to Little Bear Daycare. If I left it to my youngest, I would give maybe 1 star. My oldest did well, but, that is because he is an exceptional kid who wants to do everything right.

My three year old is a girl, who struggles with direction at times. Our experience was very poor.

This place is good for infants and toddlers if you want to raise soldiers. Our kids have exceptional behavior because of this place, but it came with a price. We felt like we had a terrible little girl. We were told every day she didn't get a sticker because of something she did wrong, then we were told she was acting within her normal development, then we were told she was getting more and more aggressive. The next day, supposedly an incident happened. I truly feel that was not the case, but we were asked to leave after being there for 3 years. Our daughter also began to regress with her potty training, after being trained for a very long time. There were no changes at home, it had to be there. Very disappointed and concerned.

In the new daycare, our daughter is thriving! We know it was not her issue. They think she is so sweet and caring! If you want to raise soldiers and feel like a terrible parent, this place is for you.
