Our daughter (2.5) has been coming here for almost six months and we absolutely love it. Prior to bringing her here, we were worried about her lack of speaking and engagement. Within the first month we saw dramatic improvements and see DAILY changes in how much she knows! Having updates throughout the day via app is also so helpful and reassuring as a parent. We aren’t used to having so much insight into what they do everyday. The staff is so kind and - the best part- she loves her teachers! We are so happy to have found a home for our girl at Smart Bear ☺️

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Smart Bear! Our son has been going there since he was a couple of months old (hes 17 months now). I always love the pictures and updates that I get throughout the day. They have an awesome app on your phone where you can see how your kiddo is doing during the day! The teachers have all been amazing and we have even had some babysit on the weekend because we trust them so much!I highly recommend Smart Bear! The teachers, staff, food, activities, and curriculum are all top notch!

My toddler son attended school here for 1 year. I decided to quit my job and stay home with him otherwise he would still attend. He absolutely LOVED his teachers, friends and all the activities they planned daily here. Story time, music that included singing and live guitar playing. Interactive science and art projects all the time. Weekend events for the kids each season and even parents’ nights. The staff really loves and enjoys the kids and parents. I’m so glad we switched our son from Busy Little Hands to Smart Bear. There was a huge improvement in his learning and behavior and also he wasn’t sick all the time like he was previously. We really miss this school and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great program with loving staff.

Our two daughters attend SBLC, one since she was four m/o (she’s now 3 y/o) & our youngest who just started this week (5 m/o). We love, love, love SBLC! Top notch care & teaching from their teachers, curriculum, food (it always smells so good!), they have such fun events for the kids & even the entire family! We get to see what our kiddos are up to & learning through the Tadpoles app incl. photos. The teachers & team are always open to discussing any challenges or issues with an open & creative mind. Both of our daughters are so smiley & happy at SBLC, which gives me peace of mind & confidence they are genuinely being cared for. Personally, I love the mommy community at SBLC too! We were so appreciative that they stayed open through 2020, with the upmost care for cleanliness & health. I could go on & on about SBLC, Colleen, Laura & the entire SBLC Team are just wonderful & we’re so happy our girls attend this amazing daycare/school! 💕

Our daughter attended Smart Bear for about 2 years and we had a great experience there. They were very accommodating of a dairy allergy she had and everyone knew her well regardless of whether she was in their class. We switched her for preschool only because the school she will attend K-8 offers a preschool program and we felt socially getting to know other friends would be best for her. Otherwise she would have stayed at Smartbear for preschool too.

Smart Bear Learning is a terrific childcare center. They really work to engage the kids with activities ranging from pony rides to a visit from a fire engine. They also work hard to engage parents with annual holiday events and regular online updates. During the eight months that my son was with them, he blossomed developmentally. My husband and I are moving out of the area, otherwise wed absolutely keep him there. I highly recommend this center to any family looking for a warm, inviting, and creative center.

We love Smart Bear, I have an almost three year old and a 16 month old. There was a period when my almost three yr old had a ton of turnover of teachers, however, it has balanced out again and the staff was very good about communicating the changes. We have been going here for almost two years and they do a lot of fun activities to involve the entire family. Overall they are awesome, I truly believe that they love both of our children and make a note to say hi and remember the name of my older child that does not go there. I would recommend them to anyone.

Not only is Smart Bear an amazing place to work it’s a wonderful place for my daughter! Smart Bear has been amazing for her. I have seen her grow and learn so much since she has been enrolled. My daughter gets very upset when we aren’t going to school and will beg me to go to school on the weekends. She loves all of her teachers and is so happy at the end of the day. This center is truly amazing and has been a blessing for my family. I am so incredibly proud to be apart of this team and watch all the kiddos from Infants to Pre-K learn and play everyday!

We have been so pleased since our sons very first day! Caring staff willing to go above and beyond to support not only the children in their care but the whole families as well. From needing drop in care for our older son and their unwavering commitment and reassurance that our safety was just as important during a recent winter storm has reaffirmed that we made the right choice with Smart Bear Learning Center!

We love Smart Bear! We chose this daycare because of its affordability compared to other Highland Ranch area daycares AND because the staff is so attentive and engaged in their work. Its a family owned place, and I think they take a lot of pride in their facility. The kids always seem happy to be there. The staff is great, especially Ms. Cathy- she goes out of her way to make my girls feel so loved!

Our daughter is in the preschool program at Smart Bear and loves it! The teachers are all very friendly and welcoming. They are very education and technology focused and give students great learning opportunities. Our daughter frequently comes home talking and singing about things she has learned. We would HIGHLY recommend Smart Bear!!

We absolutely love Smart Bear. My son has been attending Smart Bear since he was an infant. Having been a part of the Smart Bear community full-time for a year and a half now, we have gotten to know the staff and teachers really well - Whitney, Pennie, Anu, Laura, Sparklynn are amazing. All of the staff are really wonderful. We feel so comfortable and relieved to have a daycare we trust. The environment is welcoming and supportive for kids and their parents. I definitely recommend Smart Bear Learning.

We LOVE Smart Bear! After a bad experience at another center both of my daughters were withdrawn and not interested in school. Within the the 1st week I saw that my girls were back to their old happy , eager to learn selves . They absolutely love all of the staff and their new friends at Smart Bear. I couldnt be more happy with the cleanliness, professionalism , curriculum, fun activities and all around sense of family and love felt when walking through the front door. My daughters are excited to go to bed at night so they can get up and go to school the next day. Colleen and the rest of the staff are truly a blessing. My only wish is that we would have found them a year ago when Colleen opened the doors for the 1st time. If youre searching for a safe , clean, trustworthy place ...Smart Bear Learning is where your search ends.

I work nearby the facility and how the kids are treated is outrageous. I hear teachers screaming at kids and being so incredibly rude to them, I’m not aware of how old these students are or age range but I do know they are young and the impact of these teachers tone and words is numerous on these young minds. I see only good reviews because I believe not everyone sees behind closed doors. I hear kids cry because of one tiny mistake like stepping out of line and they get in trouble. Please be careful, I would never bring my child here.

I have two children ages 2 and 3 enrolled here at Smart Bear Learning. It is a beautiful, clean environment with amazing teachers. The technology used in the center is exactly what children will need to know when they enter elementary school. The director Colleen has an amazing passion for children and I am so happy I found this school. I highly recommend Smart Bear Learning to anyone in the area.

Our 9 month old daughter has been attending Smart Bear Learning for the past 6 weeks, and we absolutely love the center and the staff. Miss Yulanda in the infant room is wonderful, and we can tell that our daughter truly loves her and is excited to see her each day. Miss Coleen and Miss Tiffany are great at communicating with us, and everyone there greets us with a warm smile. Were very happy that our daughter is enrolled there.

I couldnt be more pleased with Smart Bear. They have a wonderful staff and my daughter is doing very well there and loves going there. Finding the right daycare is always hard and stressful and I cant express my gratitude and happiness with this one. Its a perfect fit so thank you for everything you have done for me and my daughter. She is excelling at her age because of you.

My son has been at Smart Bear for 2 years and my daughter will start next month. We have used other daycares but what sets smart bear apart is their heart. Unlike the chain daycares, it really feels like they care about my family and want to do the best they can for him. They are flexible and receptive to suggestions, plus they are better at avoiding closures for minor holidays or snow days than any daycare around. My son is very happy there and they are the only daycare Id trust with my infant daughter.

I have a three year old boy enrolled here, and I could not be happier. The support from the staff, and the directors is amazing, and I have noticed such a change in my sons personality already. They have treated us like family from day one, and I would recommend this school to anyone looking for child care.

Enrolled our 1 year old in this center and we are very impressed with the curriculum and learning activities. We were attracted by the use and teaching of technology and science, and believe it will benefit our daughter. Glad to have found Smart Bear Learning.
