Specialties
While in our care your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities which promote all aspects of development. We believe a child's early experiences enrich and stimulate future growth. Children deserve to be treated and respected as individuals in an environment that welcomes reason, exploration, question, and imagination.
Activities are planned according to the age and developmental level of each child in care and provide children with a variety of experiences. The daily activities include a flexible balance of indoor and outdoor activities, active and quiet play, and individual and group activities. Exposing the children to a variety of cultures and activities encourages use and development of language and literacy skills, use of large and small muscles, to think creatively, to learn new ideas and skills, and to participate in imaginative play. Everything is designed to provide protection from excess fatigue and over stimulation and to ensure that each child can be successful and feel good about himself or herself.
We are located in Long Beach, CA. We provide care for children ages 6 months to 12 years old. Care is provided from 8:00 AM until 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Full time and part time schedule options are available. We accept all types of subsidy payments.

History
Established in 2018.
Our journey began with nurturing our nieces and nephews while their parents were working, which blossomed into a desire to provide a safe, loving, and educational environment where all children can thrive.
As a family-run home daycare, we understand the importance of creating a warm and welcoming space that feels like a second home for children. Over the years, we've built strong relationships with local families by offering personalized care, age-appropriate curriculum, and a focus on early childhood development.
What started as a small daycare with a handful of children has grown into a trusted and well-loved resource in the community. We take pride in creating lifelong memories for children and forming lasting connections with parents who entrust us with their little ones. Our philosophy is simple: every child deserves love, respect, and the opportunity to learn in a safe, joyful environment.
Thank you for being part of our story.
Meet the Business Owner: Diana S.
With seven years of experience in early childhood care and education, I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive.
As a certified and licensed childcare provider, I understand the importance of creating a space where kids can feel at home while developing essential social, cognitive, and creative skills. At Little Bear Daycare, we offer age-appropriate curriculum designed by Brightwheel and Mother Goose Time, healthy meals, and personalized attention to meet each child's unique needs.
I believe in fostering strong partnerships with parents and value open communication to ensure every family feels confident in their child’s care. Watching children grow, learn, and develop in a supportive environment is the most rewarding part of my job.
If you’re looking for a dependable and loving daycare where your child will be cherished and supported, we’d love to welcome you to our daycare family!
