I have used this provider for more than 6 months

we love bear essentials, my granddaughter has gone for 2 plus years now and she just loves it and so do i, they have the same teacher's, they don't have a high turnover and they are all great with the kids and they really get to know your kids and then your child has that trust and security of being in an environment where they can feel cared for, the owner is so nice and available if you have any questions or concerns and they always address things promptly, the summer program is awesome, they have lots of activities planned everyday to keep the kids busy during those months and the kids just love it, i feel so blessed that i found bear essentials and i feel confident that my granddaughter is being well taken care of while i have to be at work and she gets to go somewhere that she loves to go everyday.

I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

this place is so unorganized its disgusting! there were days I would hear the teachers say were over our ratio now! how is a DAYCARE over ratio? this place needs more structure and the teachers are awesome expect for wendie jones in the main room and sherrie in the infant room! Wendie Jones is very short with the children and some are scared of her! this is a place I will never take my kids AGAIN!

I have gone to check lot of daycares before I settled with this daycare for my 2 kids. My kids love to go there and they have curriculum and activities and each day she comes back to home with lot of new new words. The director Wendy Pendleton and the staff takes good care of the children and I am totally impressed with this day care. They are not very strict about the fees like other daycares do or wait for the payday. It gives the feeling that they care more about the kids than money.
