Andy Bear Early Learning Center

My daughter went here and she is now off to college and when I had my son I knew exactly where he was going to school. Andy Bear is the best educational school for young learners, they are not a daycare where kids play all day it is academic at it's finest. The owners of the school are so friendly and welcoming and make each kid feel special. My son has gone there for the past almost 4 years and it is sad that today is his last day. He has had amazing teachers, amazing classroom helpers and you will NOT find a better place to send your child. If you want your child to get the best start in there academic start in life this is the school to sign your child up for not to mention the summer camp they provide is full of fun activities for the kids to enjoy their summer.

I have mixed feelings about Andy Bear. Our child joined the school not too long after opening. The experience was great, good teachers and positive environment. We noticed that there was a good amount of turnover with the teachers, we liked, leaving. The new crop of teachers seemed younger, less experienced and impatient. We had a host of issues that we shared with the teachers as well as the Director Marcia. Ultimately, we decided to move our child to a new school, which she, and we, enjoy. I know its hard to find a school that you can feel confident about, Andy Bear wasn't for us, but we know plenty of parents who love it there. I just wanted to share our experience, because it seems every school we search for has glaring positive reviews or suspicious negative reviews.

I give Andy Bear Daycare 5 stars because this establishment is clean, well organized and the entire staff is positive, friendly and helpful. I had visited many other daycares and they all didn't feel like it was a homey environment. At Andy Bear it's like your part of a family. The women who owns Andy Bear is a registered nurse ( she is there every day)! The ladies who run the infant room are amazing. It's a positive and loving atmosphere. My son is always smiling when he gets dropped off there!

My daughter has been going to Andy Bear for a year now, and I've been very happy. The teachers are all attentive and take great care of the children. I can tell by how much my daughter loves her favorite teacher Miss Ariel! The facilities are very clean and safe. There's a very nice (and safe looking) playground, and a big grass field that there are soccer classes. They offer ballet. They have ipads on site for the kids to use. And best of all, they have cameras set up so you can login and see what your child is up to anytime you want. The like how it feels less like a 'daycare' and more like a school. I don't feel like Andy Bear is just watching my daughter. I feel like they are actively working on teaching and development. Some of the teachers were let go, but I consider that a good thing. The ones that are attentive and caring stay, and the less attentive ones get let go. The staff and the owner (Miss Marcia) have been very accommodating whenever I've had a concern. My daughter bangs her head when trying to sleep, and the staff let me have a special bed, and (I know this because I peek in on the camera) they have a teacher soothing my girl and rubbing her back to help her fall asleep!! If there's a negative, maybe its pricey compared to other places in the area. But you get what you pay for: the top notch facilities, the attentive and caring teachers and staff, and the cameras make it worth EVERY PENNY!!!

My daughter has been at Andy Bear for the past year and she loves it here. Her teachers Ms. Ariel and Ms.Trudy are just awesome. What I love about this early learning center is how organized they are and focused on learning. I would consider myself one of those parents who are a bit on the anxious side, and I am not concerned about my daughter's safety and care once I drop her off. By the way, one of the biggest pluses about Andy Bear is their online camera system. Awesome! I get to see live video of my daughter on my phone. Can't beat that. If you are in the Coral Springs/Parkland area, this is by far the best early learning center.
