NOW ENROLLING!
Little Bears Graduated to kindergarten!
We currently have openings available!
We’re looking for wonderful, kind families who are searching for a reliable, nurturing place for their little ones to grow and learn.
We’re a family childcare, not a large daycare or corporation. Our goal is to create a true “second home” for the children in our care, and we’re especially looking for families who are hoping to stay with us long-term, from the early years until kindergarten.
If you’re looking for a small, personal, dependable childcare environment where your child is truly known and cared for, we’d love to connect!
Why choose Little Bear?
Our goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience, with an approach to learning that is child centered. Children learn important social skills, manners and preschool fundamentals.
Children study areas of Practical Life, Sensory, Mathematics, Language and Cultural Studies through the Montessori method in our child-centered classroom on our urban homestead.
