Our family has had such a wonderful experience with this daycare, and we can't recommend it enough! Our older son attended for a year, and our younger son has thrived there for over three years, now moving on to pre-K.
From day one, the teachers have been incredibly caring, kind, and always open to feedback. It meant so much to us to know our children were in such nurturing hands. Our younger son, in particular, has always been so happy there and never once complained about anything – a true testament to the positive environment they create.
The facility itself is consistently clean and well-organized, and we've never had any concerns about the lunches or snacks provided. It's clear they prioritize the children's well-being. We've also always felt confident in their commitment to safety, with their secure passcode entry and robust safety protocols.
A special shout-out to Ms. Alexis and Ms. Raquel, among many other wonderful teachers. Their dedication and genuine care for the kids truly shine through. Thank you for providing such a loving and enriching environment for our sons!

Our two kids have had several wonderful years at KinderCare Bearpaw. Our daughter is now transitioning to a different after school care program at her elementary school and I wanted to let anyone know that this is a fabulous care facility that has been nothing but amazing for our kids. Our son will continue to stay here until he goes to kindergarten and it’s been truly amazing seeing him grow. My daughter started with Bearpaw in the fall of 2022 and continued with her after school program when she started in kindergarten. I can’t thank all the staff and teachers so much for their love, support, and warmth with our kids. With their app, we get pictures of them throughout the day and updates on what they eat, which I wasn’t expecting, but was a pleasant surprise when we started. Thank you again!!!

This is not our first garden, but the first one in English. several complaints to the kindergarten at once: 1 my son was always hungry, he complained that he wanted to eat and to eat very little all the time. 2 to get used to sleep in clothes, he could not. 3 the teacher could not find an approach to it. She said that he absolutely did not listen to what she reads, talks and makes noise when the children go to bed. 4 final point was the holiday for Christmas. Children prepared songs, the son loves to sing. since he does not speak English, the teacher warned that he would put him in the background. what my amazement was when there were only 2 children from the whole group of 12 people in the background! my son and another boy. and it looked as if they simply wanted to be closed off from the audience. after that, I took my son from this kindergarten and did not recommend to all my friends to go there
