"Little Bear Preschool and Childcare is looking to enroll a couple more kids this year and I highly recommend it to anyone looking.

We absolutely love our daycare/preschool. When we enrolled Julian we thought it was only a daycare because he was 18 months and far from preschool. In a year there, he has got all the activities the preschool kids do plus all the younger activities and play proper to his age. We couldn't be happier and we are surprised everyday hearing everything he learns with a different topic every month.
Now Remy has been going since 3 months old, and Miss Melissa is loving and caring and does an equally amazing job with infants as she does with toddlers and little kids. Also, I would not be able to afford big daycare for 2 kids but little bear besides being amazing is in my budget!!"

"Our older son attended Little Bear Preschool from May 2014 until he started kindergarten in August 2016. When I gave birth to our second son that October, we hadn’t yet found a childcare provider that we trusted as much as Melissa, so upon my return to work in January, we ended up bringing both boys (though it’s now quite a distance from our new home)! Ms. Melissa is an incredible person, caretaker, and teacher. She goes above and beyond for her children and their families. Even from just checking out her website before scheduling a tour, it was obvious that she is truly passionate about early childhood education and fostering young minds. I admire how she continually strives to improve her credentials (certifications, attending conferences, etc.) and the learning space. Ms. Shannon, her associate teacher, is also a fantastic parent, teacher, and role model for the Little Bears. It’s so important to find caretakers who are attentive, nurturing, and organized, and who offer developmentally appropriate curricula without sacrificing fun and playtime. I’m so glad our family has found a home-away-from-home at LBP."

"My son has been attending Little Bear Preschool for 6 months. He loves going to preschool and he gets disappointed when it's a "home" day. He has been learning so much and has enjoyed every minute! I'm so grateful we found Melissa and Little Bear!"

"Little Bear Preschool is a wonderful place for your children to spend time. They provide a warm and nurturing environment that is tons of fun. My daughter has been coming here for 5 years now and she loves every moment of it. Melissa does a great job of keeping the children engaged while taking the time to foster learning and further their education."

"My daughter Nesserah attended Little Bear Daycare the last two years. Melissa is caring and gentle. I love the fact that she is always trying to improve herself and her preschool. She is also very organized. I knew what my daughter ate and how my daughter behaved while she was away from home. Miss Melissa also has parent's night out monthly. We plan to attend as many parents' night out as our time and money permits. Thanks Miss Melissa!"

"My son Warren has been with Miss Melissa since he was 8 months old. He is in kindergarten. We just got the list of things he needs to know before being able to move to first grade. Most of it he learned from Little Bear Daycare and the worksheets Miss Melissa has the kids doing. Thank you Melissa for going the extra step. I know there would be no way my kids would get the same treatment from one of those centers. You really do make a difference in the kids lives."

"Ethan mentioned you 3 times yesterday :) I think he misses you and the kids. I will have to take advantage of the next parents night out :)"

"Dear Miss Melissa, do you ever sleep? You are always doing more and more.......... The thing is, everything you do is selfless to the point of exhaustion to most people! If anyone has questions or are in need of a SUPER DAYCARE AND PRE-SCHOOL TEACHER, they have found her in YOU. You have all of the Little Bears just loving you! You amaze me with the spirit and energy that you have for all that you do! I am just a Sandy Grandma, not a parent of, but I will give you a big THUMBS UP for some "special little bears"."

"My son started at LBD I believe when he was 1 year old. He has learned so much from being around other children. He is so excited to go and see his friends everyday. He was just learning how to talk and I hear him call out the names looking for his friends on the weekend. I moved to this state and did not know anyone. Melissa took in my son, like one of her own. When I go to pick up my son, he doesn't want to leave because he likes it there so much. Melissa is understanding and fair. She is honest and trustworthy. If you are looking for someone to care for your child/children, please consider LBD. Your child will love it, you will feel comfortable, and the most important thing - your child will be in a loved."
-Leilani Moore

"Both of my children attend LBD and I couldn't be more please with the way they are treated there.  Melissa makes all feel welcome in her home and it is easy to understand why the kids don't want to leave at the end of the day.  The thing that impresses me most is her dedication not just to the children as a group, but also to the children as individuals.  She takes the time to truly learn about the children in her care.  I feel like I'm leaving my children with a friend and not just another sitter.  Thank you Melissa for all you do for Warren and Sarah."
-Julie Redd

"I have had my daughter Alyana with "Miss M" for about 2 months now. She is 3 years old and having a great time there! She is of course at an age of trying us all in each new situation and Melissa has been great about providing daily feedback and a source of information on how to handle these things. thanks Melissa. It makes my day so much easier to be able to leave my child in a caring and responsible home. It makes such a difference for my whole family! If you have any questions - just give her a try and i think you will be as satisfied as i!"
-Tara Baptiste

"I will add to what my wife Julie has already said in her testimonial. One thing I always notice is that Melissa's own children are always very well behaved. There is no way they would be so well adjusted if she wasn't such a good mommy as well as a good caregiver to the rest of the children. Every child there loves her, especially Warren whom she has been watching for nearly 2 years now. And it is important to note that other people that she has around the children, such as her husband Will and friend Liz also are great with the kids and give them plenty of positive attention. In short, Melissa is a great parent who does everything in her power to treat our kids like they are her kids. There is no better place for our kids to be while we are at work."

"Melissa at Little Bear Daycare is awesome at her job! My daughter went there for quite awhile when my family first moved to the state and I felt I was lucky to find her. She charges reasonable rates is great with the kids sometimes my daughter would have rather been with Melissa and the other kids than at home with me, lol! I definitely recommend her for any short term or long term daycare needs that you have!"

"Hi, Melissa.

I just thought I'd give you a quick update....

Sarah is doing really well at school. She is already learning to read and likes to do her homework as soon as we get home from Ambers house (before dinner).

The first week or so it was touch and go, but now she really enjoys it.

She was picked to be the first Star Student of the month in her class by her teacher.

Thanks again for doing such a great job getting her ready for Kindergarden.

I hope everything is going well and I'll keep you updated."

-David Will
