“During COVID, my son was struggling with behavior issues at another daycare that had essentially given up on him. The staff at Happy Bear took him in with open arms and showed what care and attention can do for a child. He did so well there and I am very thankful.”
“My son started here at 3 months and is now 11 months. From the start of searching for a daycare I was terrified to send him anywhere. When we met with the director for the first time, she instantly made me feel so comfortable. She said she would FaceTime us at any point in the day and we could stop by whenever to visit him. His dad has stopped by to see him in the middle of the day and I have FaceTimed him multiple times. The director is extremely responsive, whenever we have had an issue we have come to her and it is taken care of right away. My son smiles whenever he sees her or his teachers. They don’t charge you for absent days unlike alot of other daycares. The director also helped us fill out financial assistance paperwork too. The director comes to help the girls out by rocking my son to sleep if he is fussy. They are flexible, attentive, and very responsive. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially anyone who is nervous about sending their babies to daycare because they will allow you to see them at any point during the day.”
“I have had nothing but great experiences working with the staff at the North Riverside location. If you're looking for a more hands and personal educational PreK program for your child, than the children's center is definetly for you! Emotional Devopmemt, Fine Motor Skills, Social Skills, Creative Expression just to name a few of the many skills my son has been tought and I can vouch for him as this program has made him grow in various ways. They also helped me potty train my son, which is a huge plus!”
