Amazing daycare, awesome staff/teachers. My son has some behavioral issues and they have been so patient working with him. They are very caring and friendly. If you are looking for somewhere you know your child will get personal attention and not just be another number, I highly recommend Bear Hugs.

We have been with this daycare since my oldest was 1, now he is in VPK. My youngest started at 12 weeks and is now in the 2 yr old room. They LOVE all the staff and coming to school everyday! Everyone there is like family to us, If something ever goes wrong I am always notified of the situation. There has been so many positive changes within the last year and I cant wait to see where it takes them! Thank you for teaching and always taking such good care of my boys when I cant be with them!

My children have been going here since 2018. They have barred with me during the process of finding out my children are learning disabiled. I recommend them for anyone. I communicate with them and they do they same with me. Some times we for get jackets at school and get them next day. My kids eat well, get rest and learn. They get play time too.

I’d like to start with the fact that I emailed the owner stating my concerns and it’s been a week and no reply. I had MULTIPLE issues with this daycare though...First, after only being there for one week (5 days) he started crying and screaming and saying go back, pointing towards the interstate. This was a huge red flag for more. He has not done this ever before, and was happy to be at the day care the first few days.Second, I never fully knew who had my kid throughout the day and no one could tell me if he was even eating the food provided to him for lunch. I just know he was very hungry by the time I got him in the afternoon, to the point that I had to have snacks and drinks in the car and he would still eat dinner when we got home.Third, when I picked him up in the afternoon on two separate occasions the lady in the classroom with him was yelling at kids in front of me (on one occasion my son started crying and freaking out because she was yelling at other kids) she said she was the 4 year old teacher, this is very unacceptable behavior.On more than one occasion they had misplaced my son’s items (including pull ups and my son’s Halloween costume, which thankfully was found before we left so we could go trick or treating that night)And the final thing was when they changed his pull up before we left and they laid him on a BARE bathroom floor to do so. There was nothing laid down and not only does that seem very unsanitary but also just not very comfortable for the child. Had I known these things ahead of time, he would have never started there. I was never given a proper tour, nor was I given any adequate information which should have been my first sign to keep looking, but I was hoping for the best.Also, I can’t prove if it happened at daycare or not, but he came home with a bruise above his elbow that looks like someone had grabbed him by his elbow and too hard because when I checked to see if fingers lined up, it did. I know his father and I don’t grab him especially not like that, but the bruise is there. He has never had a bruise on his elbow like that. Legs, yes, he is a kid, he plays hard, but not there.Multiple kid’s were crying and screaming every day at drop off. This is not the place to take your child.

This place is the worst daycare that I have experienced. Its normal for them to have toodlers at the playground with afterschool teens. My 5 year old girl was bullied by one of the older boys. He even thrown her water bottle over the fence and nobody from the staff noticed it. There was only one staff member to watch over all of the children at the playground and most of the time she was to lazy to even get up from her bench. The food portion are very very small. The teachers didnt care if my daughter had water to drink throughout the day. During class hours it was OK but after care time was a mess. My child would often come back home with fire ants bites on her legs. When I confronted her teacher about it, she said that it has to be from home or she just simply digs to much in the mulch at the playground. What?? I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

As a former child care provider many years ago, here at this very location, I can say this: As long as the owner is still running things then your children are receiving not the care thats required, or enough to get by with, but care that you an be worry free about. I have a large family now, but then I was only 18. MY children and GRAND children are raised in a manner that we instilled into our students as well. And finally, I have always thanked them for hiring a male teacher, its the law of course but some places are leery and I agree. I was treated with the utmost respect and was able to hire a male assistant for my school age children. Overall.... Trust and peace of mind.... youll have it
