However, two negative reviews raise concerns about understaffing, professionalism, and defensive staff responses. The facility maintains consistent 5-star ratings from satisfied parents alongside isolated but serious complaints.
Teddy Bear has been nothing short of amazing for my child. We have seen such major growth both emotionally and developmentally throughout our time here. The staff were excellent with communication and very trustworthy. The nature-based aspect that is implemented at Teddy Bear is wonderful to see- my child never wants to leave! Highly recommend!
Our family loves Teddy Bear. The staff there are so welcoming and loving to the kids. Excellent communication and we love their willingness to discuss and solve any issues there may be. We feel very fortunate to have found somewhere safe, stable, and nurturing to send our child. We love that the staff is passionate about their field of work and they show it. The nature based aspect is so fun for the kids. Overall, I definitely recommend Teddy Bear!
I have had both of my children at teddy bear daycare. Such a fantastic place to take your child. They are extremely trustworthy and I love their nature-based programs. The staff is very knowledgeable and that administration is very responsive. I would recommend teddy bear hands down. Also the pricing is right on point.
My daughter started here 1 month before turning 3, and I've been so impressed and happy during her 10 months here so far. She comes home dirty and happy every single day as they spend a lot of time each day outdoors. They have the ability to move kiddos who don't nap to a different classroom during naptime, and what this means is that the classroom that is napping is full of sleepers! Aka, my child doesn't get distracted by other kids who would otherwise be silently playing during rest time. The education for a preschool is phenomenal! Each week or two they explore new topics, and she has come home talking about recycling, volcanoes, even the water cycle! They do experiments and test things out. The kids maintain outdoor garden beds, and it's so neat at drop off each morning to check out the new growth of the peas or zucchinis with her. She gets a wide range of teachers. There is a base teacher for her classroom, but there are lots of floating teachers, and she seems to like them all! I get pictures throughout the day of their activities, and alerts when sunscreen goes on. Another best part is that all the meals and snacks are provided, so one less thing I have to think about before we leave the house each day. They have an-site kitchen, with a wonderful cook (Kim, who my daughter adores) who makes foods the kids know and love, and she serves new things alongside of trusted foods (she told me last week she tried and likes red sweet pepper now, but yet I haven't been able to get her to taste one yet at home!). Teddy Bear Daycare must be filled with various structure and routine, because my child comes home and wants to copy those routines into our home life, or she pretend plays the routine they do before meal-time with her dolls. I couldn't be happier with my 3yo's preschool, and I'm so glad we get to be a part of the Teddy Bear Daycare family.
Unsafe place for children as they are understaffed and their professionalism is not to expectations, The staff tends to act like the children they take care of and they always are defensive not answering the questions you have, nor try to find solutions. It's pretty odd that they had more negative reviews, but they were taken down?
