⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a wonderful experience with Teddy Bear! My daughters learned so much and loved going there. The space was always clean and organized. Special shoutout to Ms. Tracy and Glory - they're incredibly kind and experienced! My girls still talk about how much they loved them 😊. Would definitely recommend!"
I’m heartbroken and furious. My 2 years and 6 months old niece was staying at this daycare, and one of the caregivers hit her in the face. She came home with a visible bruise. When my sister asked her what happened, she was clearly terrified—shaking, unable to speak normally, and deeply afraid. After being gently encouraged, she finally told us the horrifying truth: the caregiver had threatened her, saying if she told anyone, she would hit her again. My sister immediately took a photo of the bruise and went straight to the daycare owner. Instead of taking responsibility or showing any kind of compassion, they were shockingly dismissive. They didn’t even try to investigate or apologize. They just told us to take our child and said they didn’t want her there anymore. We felt completely betrayed and discriminated against. This place is NOT safe for children—especially for little ones who can’t fully speak up for themselves. No child deserves to be hurt and silenced like this. I wouldn’t recommend this daycare to anyone. Please don’t risk your child’s safety.
This is really amazing daycare for kids.For some personal reasons we stopped our daughter(DAKSHAYANI)to send there.But still she is asking everyday about her teachers and friends..Mostly she is missing Miss Anna. Thank you so much staff and miss Anna for took care my daughter like parents.
Teachers were very nice to my daughter and she loves them all. It’s a safe daycare and the staff really cared about every single detail. After we stopped sending my daughter to the daycare ( because of the pandemic) my daughter kept calling her teacher’s name ( Miss Alia) and the manager’s name ( Jessica) at home.
I had a family member that attended this school. I have learned about their horrible experience they have encountered at this school. I am really concerned about how this place is still allowed to run their business as normal while behaving unethically and disrespectfully to a parent. I strongly recommend the county to audit this place and for new parents looking for care to dig a lot deeper before sending your child/ren to this school.
