I am a mother of two (13 months and 2.5 years) from San Diego. A group of friends and I traveled to…read moreBig Bear for a long weekend and since we all have young children, but wanted to spend a day at the slopes, we started early weighing child care options. We started by googling pre schools in Big Bear and sending them an email asking them if they had any staff willing to come to our cabin and watch the kids so we could enjoy a day of skiing. We heard back from a few, but after exchanging emails Katie felt right. We were very pleased with our decision. She provided healthy meals and snacks. When we arrived at her house at 8am she was ready and waiting for us with a tidy house and warm welcome. She was tender with the kids and handled the nervous little ones like a professional. She texted updates and pictures throughout the day. And sent the big ones home with a bag of the crafts they had completed. And sent the little ones home with a report card saying their mood, their favorites thing of the day, their poos, meals and milk. I wish Katie would move to San Diego! We will definitely be calling her next year Or maybe once more this year (weather cooperating)

We have sent our kids to 4 different preschools as we have move around the country and this is the best by far. Our child learned to write her name, write the alphabet and some sight words. I know she has a leg up going into kindergarten based on her time at North Shore Christian. The director, teacher, and assistant run a tight ship. They love the children and nurture them. The director has been there for decades and the teacher for about 20 years. It is my understanding that the majority of the last dozen or so valedictorians from Big Bear High went to North Shore Christian. Maybe there's something to the foundation they got from the loving faculty.

While I'm sad to be closing this chapter, I wanted to share our experience with other parents who are looking for a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for their little ones.

Her motor skills, academic education, socialization, and personality have blossomed and thrived through the nurture, love, and structure her teachers and the preschool provide. They work with potty training and her learning experience has been absolutely incredible! The hours are 7am-5:30pm and each classroom has their own little mascot! She started out as a Busy Bee (2-3 year old class) and has now progressed to the Blooming Butterflies class (3-4 year old class). I cannot wait for my baby girl to join the Rowdy Raccoons (4-5 year old class) for the new year coming up and prepare for kindergarten and graduation there after. The hours work amazing for my college and work schedule and they do not go by the school district, so they are open a lot more days than other preschools nearby. They are open during winter breaks, spring break, most 3 day weekend holidays, and it has helped a lot with both my work and school. We are so glad we found this absolute incredible preschool! It is so scary as a parent to find and place the trust of your child with others, and here, that fear goes away instantly when seeing how fast your child just connects, bonds, and loves going there to see their teachers! I highly recommend the ROCK Preschool to anyone looking for a safe, warm, nurturing, and caring environment for little ones to grow and thrive at. Not to mention, the playgrounds! They have such amazing playgrounds. Two in fact, which is very rare in the San Bernardino Mountains. Sign up your kids! It will be the best decision you have ever made.

I am not associated with anyone who has left a review on this page nor do I know who they are. I was in contact with Tara for about 2 weeks before my daughter started daycare with her. At first I thought this was a good fit but unfortunately it wasn't. My daughters first day of daycare was today and when checking in with my daughter Tara told me "I stepped out to go to a meeting & have been watching the cameras from my phone I'm on the way back now". She did not mention who was supervising my child so I questioned if she steps out for meetings often and where they were at. When I picked up my daughter it turns out that her mother was watching her. I seen her mother this morning when I dropped my daughter off but did not receive any formal introduction and how long she was going to be staying, which is what left me under the impression after that text message that she was left alone. I later than received an email from Tara stating that she has to let my daughter and I go from the daycare because "It doesn't appear that you're prepared to release your child into a nurturing environment and allow providers to care for her.". She did not try to confront me with the issues that were present between us so I was not able to explain my side of the situation. She later then told me to "seek mental help because you need it badly." I feel harassed at this point all because of I was in concern of my daughter. I wouldn't recommend. UPDATE: After Tara, the owner, read this review, she asked me to remove my post because I'm "lying", although I have proof of everything that occurred during all of our interaction. She is telling me that she is now going to take me to court and sue me. I am a 23 year old single mom and I am feeling unsafe, very threatened, and belittled as she keeps mentioning that I am on welfare and a single mother, trying to use it as an insult. I am a educated 23 year old woman who is in nursing school and does not deserve to be disrespected like this. At this point If you do choose this daycare please be cautious. The public has the right to know what I went through.
