Baby Bear Daycare

My grandchildren have attended this daycare for over a year and a half so it probably time to update my review. «Ms. Cinda» (as my grands call her) is absolutely the best. The entire family are blessings to the daycare business. I’m a mother of two children, grandparent of five and come from a family who were daycare providers. She teaches, cooks real food, nurtures and genuinely cares for the kids. Who brings snow for Christmas Ms. Cinda! Her daycare has truly been a blessing to me and my family.

Reviews about the actual childcare looked great and promising here. But like some of the other few people that have called here and have left messages getting no response back, I was also one of them. Called and the voicemail stated that they weren’t accepting anymore kids right now, but to leave a message for a call back and to be placed on a wait list. So I did. Wanted to get more info, meet her and to make an appointment to see the Daycare. Have to see if it’s a right fit for us before deciding to be put on a wait list, I don’t want to take a spot that someone might really want.
Needless to say I never received a call back. I wasn’t expecting a call the same day; she’s with the children, I understand. In my search for a daycare for my baby, I called many places and left messages and they have all gotten back to me the same day after their business hours. This place just never did.

Lucinda’s is the best. Both of my children have gone to Lucinda’s and absolutely love it. The staff is personable, friendly and know how to deal with all types of children. My children are so happy when they know they are going to Lucinda’s. Give her a try.

My son started with Lucinda and her staff in August after being in a couple of other daycares that were just not the right fit for him. The staff at Baby Bear are extremely attentive to every child and their individual needs. My three year old son has thrived tremendously since being at this daycare. There is such a good energy and spirit pouring out of this place and I am extremely grateful for my son to be a part of it!

I called here twice and sent an online inquiry about their services and discuss my needs. I NEVER received a call or an email. That’s bad business. I had read good reviews but was disappointed. I had high hopes to meet the owner. Oh well, moving on with my search. Sucks!

Babybear daycare is the best hands down. I was very skeptical of the home daycare environment. I had my daughter at Childtime in Commerce because it was close to my job. Horrible Horrible Place. She got bit and kicked and scratched and you name it there. They had ants. They constantly raised their prices. Her clothes came home with bleach stains and the teachers there were miserable. I had to get her out of there and did a search on Unilocal for daycares in Lakewood and Babybear came up! I drove by first. Then I called. she called me back. allowed me to come meet her, bring my husband back a separate time to meet her and then bring my daughter back everyday for a few hours to get use to her and the new daycare. Finding Lucinda was like finding that one needle in a haystack that you want so bad and you look and look and look and feel as though you have won the lottery when you find it. My daughter is very happy there. She is greeted every morning with lots of love and hugs. She has a great group of kids and an equally great group of parents. The kids work hard and play hard. I could go on and on about Lucinda and CiCi and Jessie. but you get what I am trying to say. Your don’t have to worry when you leave. You will know from the smile on your kids face that they are happy and ok. Clean house, good food, great cirriculum and most important. a loving, caring, trustworthy, enthusiastic staff. its all there! Best home daycare ever.

left a message (2xs), never received a call back.
bad service. I will be un-​Bookmarking.

My son who is 2 has been with Lucinda and her staff since January this year and I LOVE IT!!! I couldn’t ask for a better place for my son, He was at wonderland preschool before that and that place was awful. Lucinda is so loving and caring always happy with a smile on her face you never see her unhappy, when I drop my son off he’s runs through the door not even telling me bye and before when he was at the other place he would be kicking and screaming for me not to leave him and that should of told me something. My son is a very picky eater and she always has different options for him to eat, I love how she teaches the kids there not there just watching TV all day and they have outside play and activities they do and places they go. The house is always clean and in order and when I pick up my son he doesn’t look like he’s been out playing in dirt all day, I know there’s a million things I’m forgetting to write but the main thing is I love and trust Lucinda and when I leave my son I’m not worried about calling and checking on him because I know he’s alright and in good hands. At first I was a lil skeptical about home daycares which is why I put my son in Wonderland preschool but after reading the reviews here on Unilocal and giving her a try I’m so happy thankful and blessed for her and her daycare and recommend any and everyone to give her a call.

My kids run to the daycare owner every morning, with wide smiles and warm hugs. The house always smells of good food and is spotless. Owner handles lots of kids by herself but has it all under control. The ultimate test is how happy my kids are and how much they seem to learn on a weekly basis. Very happy client.

My kids go here! They are off the charts on their CST scores! My two oldest were able to take it and were advanced thanks to all of extra effort of Baby Bear Daycare! My daughter got a 600!

First off I just want to say. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Being that I am a new mother and my first child I was very skepitical of to whom can care for her. The first time I walked in this place! Off the back. You automatically feel great vibes! The children look so happy! The teacher is ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING! Everyday I pick my daughter up from daycare, she is ALWAYS happy! Loves her teacher and all her little school mates! I am glad that I found the perfect place to put my dauther in. I have no worries what so ever. If you are reading this right now. Belive me! Don’t pass this place up! Your child will be a happy camper! I PROMISE!!!

This place is amazing. The owner really seems to care about your child and their education. This isn’t one of those drop your kids off for them to end up staring at a TV all day. They really take pride in their children and their future. Do your kids the favor and have them come play with mine!

The children have made this their second home. The owner teaches morals, social skills, and of course math reading and scince. In great hands!
