Ellen Bao6 days ago

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for the wonderful care and education my daughter has been provided at Cuddly Bear over these precious years. When she first joined Cuddly Bear at just two years old, she was a little one filled with anxiety, clinging to us with tears and fear of the unknown. It was a difficult transition for all of us. Yet, with immense patience, warmth, and understanding, all the teachers gently welcomed her into Cuddly Bear. They held her hand through those first tough days, offering comfort and a safe space for her to explore. Now, as she stands ready for "big school," we are simply amazed. The nervous toddler has blossomed into a bright, joyful, and assured little girl. She skips through doors each morning, eager for the day's adventures, and chatters endlessly about her beloved teachers and friends. Through guidance provided by all the teachers, she has grown not just in knowledge, but in heart—developing a spirit of resilience, a kindness toward others, a spark of creativity, and, above all, a true love for learning. Thank you for being her first teachers, her gentle guides, and her most encouraging cheerleaders. Thanks to the nurturing environment at Cuddly Bear, she has received the most precious gift possible: a joyful and confident start to her lifelong journey of learning and growth. To any parent considering the best start for their child, I give Cuddly Bear ELC my warmest and most sincere recommendation.

Ellen & family....❤️❤️ Thank you so much for your beautiful words. It truly means the world to us and our team. Watching your daughter grow from a nervous little two-year-old in our toddler program into the confident, happy child she is today has been such a joy and a privilege. We are so proud of her and so grateful you trusted us with her early years. Wishing her every success as she heads off to big school — your family will always be part of the Cuddly Bear family. 🧸❤️🥹 Bec & Jenna
