Specialties

It is our belief, at Teddy Bear Day Care, that all children are unique individuals. We understand that each child has their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own rate of development. Also, we believe that children learn by seeing, imitating, and experiencing a variety of activities.

We focus on the development of our students’ self confidence, self-​worth, self discipline, and independence. Our warm, stimulating environment enhances a child’s natural curiosity and creativity, and allows them to grow at their own pace. Each day’s activities provide a balance of quiet and active play, as well as both teacher– and child-​initiated activities.

We firmly believe that quality early childhood education should be a partnership between parents and teachers; therefore we encourage parents to visit the classes anytime, as well as offer advice for caring for their child.

History

Established in 1990.

The two owners, a married couple, were both well into their careers; Kay had been a special education teacher in the public schools for seventeen years, and Roy an accountant for Ford World Headquarters. When they had a daughter of their own and it was time for them to return to work, they felt torn because they could not find a quality center where they felt comfortable leaving her while they pursued their professional endeavors.

After awhile, they found something that would work, but soon they began to feel restless in their careers, and as if they wanted more for themselves. In talking about their struggles for finding the right place for their daughter, they decided that their community needed a day care and learning center for its youth. When the local church went up for sale they knew it would be the perfect location for their vision.

Almost 20 years later, TBDC is a community establishment and accredited through NAEYC (see naeyc​.org for more details)
