  Both of my kids have gone here since infancy. The teachers are wonderful and offer great daily communication! Best choice we could have made for our kiddos!

  We've had our child here for about 6 months and so far so good All childcare is expensive, I think BB was about average for what we found in the surrounding area, but obviously its a big consideration We haven't had any major incidents outside of normal kids being kids stuff and playing a little rough sometimes. No big injuries or anything like that Our little one is always excited to come in and see his friends and the staff. He likes to report everyone he had fun with at pickup haha. He was able to adjust to the routine initially within a week or two and generally gets better sleep here than his naps at home lol. The activity coordinator and chef seem to really care about the quality of care the kids get from their involvement respectively. The meals are varied and balanced, and the kids seem to get a good amount of enriching and educational time in When he started attending he was not very verbal, but in combination with some speech therapy (Birth to 3 through the county -- nothing but praises), his expressiveness has greatly improved. Its hard to say how much his attendance has contributed but its definitely more than zero All of the staff have been friendly and informative with us. They use an app to track events during the day (food, nap, diapers, notable activities, pictures, etc and any notices/messages directly to parents). The pictures especially are really nice to see them having fun doing stuff, helps when we're missing him at work. Some staff cycle through the rooms so they'll get to meet and play with a few during the week. I could easily name 6 or 7 different teachers that have been wonderful with him but I don't want to leave anyone out lol We're very thankful that we were able to get enrolled and for how good of a time our child has here. We were apprehensive at the beginning but overall I think it has been more positive than not for him

  My 5 year old son has been at this bear buddies since he was a baby and we couldn't be more grateful for the staff there! The entire staff is amazing and have always been supportive, kind and caring. I always receive great communication from everyone and you can tell the staff genuinely care about the kids. My 5 year old was struggling this year with 4K and behaviors/sensory issues. Bear buddies staff(including directors) worked patiently with him and helped give him extra attention. I ended up having an IEP done on him which showed autism. Cheyanne was there in the IEP meeting and supported me afterwards when I was upset. They have gone above and beyond to help me and my children and I'm forever grateful! Thank you Bear Buddies staff! I highly recommend this daycare!
