DAYCARE

The small group setting at our facility ensures that every child gets the attention they need to succeed at our daycare. We have the ability to accommodate your unique schedule, whether you’re flex, part time, or full time. At our daycare, we know how important it is to treat children with kindness and patience in order for them to flourish. We recognize that every child has a unique set of learning and personality styles. Our team approaches all situations with positive attitudes. This specialized attention gives children the security and encouragement to learn and grow at their own pace.

HEALTH & SAFETY

You will be glad to know that safety and cleanliness are among the top priorities at our day care center. We are fully licensed and aim to exceed all expectations and standards. The health and safety of your child is never a question at our day care center, and we always have an open line of communication with parents. Any time you need to discuss your child’s progress, needs, or any other concern, we are happy to set aside the time to do so. We encourage parents to be involved with their child’s care, so if there is any aspect of our service you are curious about, let us know.

PROGRAMS

The quality of our childcare is further demonstrated through the variety of our high-quality programs and education. High Scope curriculum is used and includes education science, phonics and music. We love to learn indoors and outdoors! There are fun events like interactive treasure hunts, small group and large group activities, and crafts. Additionally, when weather allows, we plan special games and events for outdoor learning as well. We enjoy celebrating holidays of the season with dedicated time for dance parties, themed costumes, and cookie decorating.

OUR COMMUNICATION PROMISE

It’s important for child care to keep up with the digital age to provide the best experience for parents. We are proud to offer a convenient mobile application that allows you to oversee the care of your child daily. You will be able to keep track of meals your child is eating throughout the day, naps they are taking, and the activities in an easy to use app. You can quickly view daily progress whenever it’s convenient for you instead of having to set time aside for a phone call. This is another way we are able to accommodate your busy schedule!

OUR SAFETY PROMISE

MBCC’s safety system is unlike any other. Our daycare has an Advanced Building Lockout System provided by LockOut USA. What it does, is ensures that our daycare is directly connected to local law enforcement at all times so that if there is an emergency, with just one push of a button, they are alerted. This system also ensures that MBCC becomes a safe zone if there is an intruder issue keeping everyone safe during a lockdown. We know this is the last thing you want to think about, but it’s extremely important to address and we want you to know we’re doing everything we can to ensure we’re providing a safe place for your children.

TESTIMONIALS

"Mother Bear's Cub Care is a safe and nurturing environment for children. Our son has Down Syndrome and Jessica and her staff took such great care of him. They were very accommodating with his special requirements and foster an inclusive environment. Just the right mix of structure and play that makes it enjoyable for everyone. I never worried about my son when he was at Mother Bear's Cub Care. The hours of operation are great and the price is very reasonable."

"My experience at Mother bears Cub Care has been beyond my expectations. I was in a pinch and needed to locate a provider for my son quickly, I got exceedingly lucky to have landed this place. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles and a comfortable ambience. It’s not a feeling of a franchised daycare in which you may feel as your child is just another head in a sea of children. All the staff know my sons name, his personality and his likes and dislikes. My son has grown to learn his ABC’S, shapes, manners and met some of his “best friends” while attending Mothers Bear. When I leave him here for the day, I don’t even have an ounce of worry that he will be safe, loved and enjoy his day! I am continually thankful for every staff member and the continuous holistic support received here, please check it out!"

"Mother Bear’s Cub Care is great place! Our 3-year-old absolutely loves all of the staff, as do I. They treat the children as if they were their own. He is always excited to go to “school” and is always bummed when the weekend comes around. He recently had a choice to stay home with me or go to school, he couldn’t pack his backpack fast enough (and this child is usually attached to my hip)! He has learned to recognize the alphabet and is starting to write it, count, interact with other children, listen and follow directions. MBCC is structured, clean, has nutritious and well-balanced meals and is overall a happy and safe environment for children!"

"Everything at MBCC is so neat and clean and colorful and visually stimulating for our new little girl! Jessica was great! She answered all of our questions and then some. The girls embraced my little nugget (8 week old) like she was their own little sister. It was almost time for me to head to work and I felt so good about leaving her in their care. I loved the fact that the staff was communicating with me on everything and at any moment I could message them to check on my little girl. I even received pictures so I could see her when I was not there. I felt so at ease. Future baby #2 will be attending MBCC for sure!"
