Teddy Bear Day Care and Preschool

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our kids receive at Teddy Bear. From the very first day, Mr David and Ms Jenifer made us feel welcomed and supported, and we immediately noticed how nurturing and dedicated they are. The environment is warm, safe, and filled with opportunities for growth and learning. Our kids have grown so much in terms of both social skills and academic progress, and we know it’s due to the personalized attention and fun, engaging activities they provide. We also love how they prioritize open communication, keeping us updated with daily reports, pictures and making sure we are always in the loop about any milestones or important information. If you’re looking for a daycare that feels like a second home, with caring staff and a focus on early childhood development, look no further than Teddy Bear Preschool. We’re so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our family!

Teddy bear was an amazing daycare for our infant son. We enjoyed the daily updates and sweet care that our boy received everyday. He started at 8 weeks and we were thrilled with his care until he was about 2 years old (27mos). We decided to switch daycare providers after we had multiple calls a week about his ‘behavior’ which started almost to the day that his little sister was born. Teddy bear staff was aware of this huge transition that he was experiencing at home and demonstrated some understanding to the overall struggle. However, he was placed on a ‘behavior plan’ that seemed unrealistic for a 2 year old in the midst of a major adjustment. We made the decision to move him to a new daycare so that we could be sure that he would be met with empathy, understanding, and patience. We were worried that he would be labeled as a ‘problem child” and treated as such (every little noncompliant behavior causing major attention). It should be noted that we had zero calls home or any behavioral incidents at his new daycare which may or may not have been due to other factors. That’s all to say that Teddy Bear provided the services to our family that we needed, when we needed them. I wish we could have had more time to iron out some of the ‘behavioral issues’ before it became so formal, but I still look back and remember how safe and secure I felt with my baby at Teddy Bear when I first brought him as a baby.

Our son recently “graduated” from TBDC and, while everyone has their own experiences, I wanted to make sure that we made visible the great experience we have had at this daycare. We had been with the center since fall of 2020, just after the initial peak of COVID. I was trying to balance the need to get our kiddo into a daycare with the need to protect him; TBDC did great on this front, doing their best to keep in step with the latest health department guidance. We always felt James was well cared for and he always enjoyed his time at daycare/pre-school and talked about the time with his friends and doing fun activities with enthusiasm at the end of the day. Is the center perfect? No, but it was great, our son was treated like family (to be clear, we are not actually family), and we learned to address any issues directly and with adult discussion; any issues were always resolved to our satisfaction. We had a great relationship with Mr. David and Ms. Jennifer; as with any daycare, it’s important to get to know the teachers and management and it went a long way to avoid or mitigate miscommunication. Mr. David and Ms. Jennifer always treated us with respect and love (to include joking about WWE wrestlers! Ask Mr. David about it), and our son always raved about the food Mr. David prepared for his class! Additionally, Mr. David’s previous law enforcement experience made us feel confident that the school had thought through the appropriate safety contingencies that are an unfortunate part of our lives these days. As I said at the beginning, I thought it important to highlight that we have had a wonderful experience with this Teddy Bear Daycare and would recommend it to others! Go check them out and meet the team yourself!

I am a father and parent to 4 children. I recently toured the center and could not believe the level of care the center provides. There was a menu posted with care to the diet of the children. The environment was warm and the teachers are incredibly passionate and caring of the children in their care. I asked and was told that the teachers have lesson plans with the staff actually educating the children there. I have had my kids in previous daycare, and they would play, nap and eat. That was it. I recommend this center and business to parents out their that want a better environment for their children. My children deserve the best and feel that Teddy Bear Daycare and Preschool is the perfect place for other parents looking for the same.

First of all I would like to list a few of my qualifications for this review. I am a retired US Army First Sergeant from a specific combat job title that does not need to be listed. And 22 years as a New York Police Officer, trained in MANY areas.... one of which is active shooter and School Resource Officer. But I am a parent and my kids have been to daycare in New York! I was fortunate to visit Teddy Bear daycare in Fairfax,VA. My fiancée and I even got recruited to go shop with the Director of the daycare. I am so amazed at the food and products that they just supply themselves that parents don’t have to!! I saw lesson plans posted in the rooms, we were given a complete tour! The schedules that are posted , safety bulletins, first aid procedures, and the amazing play areas! The director and staff are amazing!!! We had the pleasure of meeting the woman that started it all and I could not be more impressed with her loving and caring attitude! I have read a couple of bad reviews but I can tell you this day care is far and above the best!!! A team of us from New York have agreed to come and give safety and security assessments and seminars to this daycare for your children’s protection! We would NEVER agree to this if we did not find this facility to be in the best interest of the children and staff!!! I wish they were in New York!!!
