Reviews of Backyard Bears Early Learning Center
"Since the start of enrolling our daughter here it has been nothing but a positive experience. My daughter is always looking forward to going to school. The two ladies leading the program are always welcoming every single time I’ve interacted with them. They are very communicative since before we were even enrolled, they responded with all the silly questions I had asked them even up until now. On my daughter’s first day of school they were sending texts and photos letting me know how my daughter was doing reassuring me that she was having a great time and that she’s in good hands. The best part was that I hadn’t even asked them to do that! I really appreciated that. They’re very respectful and accommodating to my wishes on my daughter’s diet which is a huge deal for us. We love that it’s a Montessori style learning, the intimacy of it being a 6 student class, and the fact that they are outside every day! You can tell the ladies really try and care for you and your child’s needs and it shows. They definitely earn my trust and respect and no doubt will I recommend them to anyone else!"
"Enrolling our two daughters in Backyard Bears was one of the best decisions we ever made! This little school is a sanctuary of learning, discovery and play and is led by two of the most dedicated, caring and kindhearted people in their lovely home. The school is always impeccably clean and perfectly outfitted with Montessori-style play areas. Our girls made such magical memories and speak fondly of their time at Backyard Bears. Highlights include making smoothie popsicles, learning about nature with fun crafts, art and science projects, playing with friends in the sensory-enriching “dirt kitchen”, playtime with the sweet and gentle school doggie and, of course, the nurturing love and care from their teachers. I never had any doubt that my children were in a safe and enriching environment at Backyard Bears. We enthusiastically recommend this school to anyone and would send our kids back there in a heartbeat. I highly question the validity of the negative reviews here - our experience was nothing but professional, respectful, communicative and safe. The teachers went above and beyond to ensure it was so."
"I cannot express my gratitude towards the teachers at Backyard Bears enough! Our family’s experience has been nothing but positive with both A and V. Their dedication and hard work really shows! They have gone above and beyond to provide exceptional care with wonderful learning experiences. The little weenie dog is all we hear about! We highly recommend Backyard Bears for any care needs. Shame on people trying to slander these two hard working women. The other reviews they’ve left speak volume on their true character and I hope they are able to find solace."
"Ever since filling in at this preschool, I have had one of the best experiences. Both teachers are very good at teaching the Montessori Learning style, while also taking every child’s needs into consideration. Not only have I seen exponential growth in the class since they first have started but have also heard lots of feedback of parents saying their child has had a lot of exponential growth at home. Both teachers are very good at creating work cycles for kids in and outdoors while incorporating the Montessori curriculum. My favorite part about this preschool is that we always have lots of time to go outside, which gives the kids lots educational opportunities. On top of the great environment backyard bears brings they are great with communication with every family I have encountered. They always provide weekly overviews of your child’s care so you are always in the loop. Along with that they use brightwheel which is one of the best platforms in childcare I have used. With this platform they give weekly announcements, updates, and any information you may need to know about your child’s care ( along with an easy payment option so you don’t have to go through the hassle of paying in cash). If anyone is looking for a great Montessori preschool to enroll in I would highly recommend backyard bears!"
