Both of our daughters attended here from 3 months old on. The staff is great. Very caring and great tenure. Our daughters loved it and miss going there. Love that they prepare meals and snacks so we didn't have to worry about that. They use an app to keep you updated on how the kids are doing throughout the day. There is a secure outdoor play area for the kids and the kids get 2 outdoor play sessions per day (weather permitting).

We have our daughter at Pooh Bear and have been so happy with it! Everyone is so friendly and takes time to get to know our child and what she needs. She is happy and has made lots of friends under the care of her great teachers. The staff and management do a great job operating the center, and we are glad to be there.

I cannot say enough about how amazing the staff and care at Pooh Bear are. The director and assistant director are thoughtful and always supportive when we need something and the teachers care so much about the kids. They are actively engaged with them and my daughter loves going each day. We have had the best experience and are so grateful for the amazing staff at Pooh Bear and the environment they create for kids to play and learn.

LOVE Pooh Bear! The staff is great. You can tell they really love kids. They did everything: had fun with them, took care of them, taught them. Absolutely wonderful teachers with endless patience and a passion for childcare. My little guy is now ready for kindergarten thanks to Pooh Bear. High recommend!

I have had children at Pooh Bear for the last 7 years. Both my boys have loved all their teachers and it’s clear that the teachers also really care about the kids at Pooh Bear. The staff are all very nice to work with and some have been at Pooh Bear for 20 years or more. Teachers are mostly good at providing updates/photos of how the day is going via an online app but sometimes can get busy with the kids. The facility is safe and clean and there are two separate outdoor playgrounds for kids of different ages and they also take kids on occasional walks to nearby parks and neighborhoods in the summer. We appreciate the provided meals which make life easier for us as we don’t have to plan/pack anything. Pooh Bear offers a VASD-associated 4K program with continuing daycare afterwards which was convenient for us so we could have both kids stay at the same place as the oldest prepared for Kindergarten.
