They require all students to wear a maple bear T-shirt which is great, makes getting ready easy and provides extra layer of consistency.

In fact they keep Their ratios below state standards.

From her second day, she gets "excited" to go see her teachers (Ms. Darla, Ms, Kelsey, Ms. Bianca and Ms. Betty) and little friends in Bear Care 2. Originally we hesitated sending her to daycare at all as we were worried about missing out on so much of her critical developmental months, but after seeing how much she enjoys it and how much she has improved at things she used to hate (tummy time, floor time, etc), we know we made the right choice. We also love getting photos and updates on the app throughout the day. Thank you, Maple Bear staff!

We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver during those important early months, and I would 100% recommend Gloria to any family looking for someone they can trust with their child!! :-)

I was so so scared to leave my son with strangers, but soon, they didn't feel like strangers and more like extended family loving our little boy. We moved to another city and had to change daycares, but we loved our time with Giggle and Grow. Highly recommend for any new mom looking forward to a place to bring their littles.

They are very communicative about his needs, how much milk he's drinking, if his clothes are running low, etc. They always seem to have a new theme around different holidays and seasons to make it extra fun for the kiddos. We love Giggle and Grow!

My kids got pampered there everyday & yet learn lot many things there. All the teachers are amazing and helpful. They all offered me help at each stage of my kid's needs. It was just as co-parenting. I loved everything there - breakfast menu, lunch menu, teaching, different activities, crafts. Also, they take permission from parents if they plan to show movie/screen to the kids. Moreover, you just pay for the days your kids are attending. It was going all good until i had to shift :( I am in love with Valley Child Care center at Tempe and still have not yet over it.

I am sharing my personal experience with this daycare because it was extremely upsetting as a…read moremother. Last month, I stopped by the facility to find out whether my daughter was there and to visit and breastfeed her. My ex had previously enrolled her here for a week in February, but I was unsure whether she had been enrolled here again. I provided my ID and was assisted by a staff member, who allowed me to enter and see my daughter in the infant room. At the time, the babies were being put down for a nap and my daughter had just fallen asleep. I did not want to disrupt her or the other children, so I decided to return in about an hour. Kelley Adam's who I believe to be the main coordinator walked up to me with my ex and I's family court order in hand flipping through it, as I was talking with the other staff member. I, then, told them I'd be back to see my daughter in about a hour when she is awake and left. When I returned, I was initially asked to wait in the hallway. I asked if I could breastfeed my daughter in the infant room, where I had previously been allowed to see her and where there was comfortable seating available. I was told that they would prefer that I remain in the hallway. The coordinator then approached and told me that I was not permitted to be there based on the court order. I asked her to explain and show where the court order prohibited me from visiting my daughter at the facility, since she had it in hand again. She couldn't point it out. The situation became increasingly tense. The coordinator also accused me of being on the property the previous day with another person--saying she had my "tags" and car plate, but I know this is false. I have full receipts and video on my whereabouts the day before and have no reason to hide. She, then, told me that she would call my ex to pick my baby up right then, as she picked up the phone again to call him. She then said that my daughter's enrollment could potentially be terminated, if there's further problems. Police were eventually called to the facility. I spoke with an officer outside, and after the officer spoke with the daycare staff, I was told that I could not return to the facility due to the situation and the management's decision. I spoke with a judge the next day and he clarified that there's nothing in the court order that prevents me from seeing my daughter, while she is at daycare in my ex's week. He stated I have constitutional rights and should practice them. What made this experience especially difficult for me was that I had come to the facility simply hoping to see my daughter and breastfeed her. This was her first week back at this daycare, since that one week in February. She's been fully in my care since birth, and being prevented from visiting her was emotionally distressing for me. I understand that daycare staff must prioritize children's safety and may need to review court orders or address complicated family situations. However, I felt that the situation could have been handled more professionally and with greater care and respect. Rather than calmly discussing the court order and clarifying the facility's policies, the interaction escalated quickly and resulted in the police being called. My experience left me feeling unwelcome and unfairly treated as my daughter's mother. I would encourage parents in co-parenting or custody situations to ask the facility in advance about its visitation policies, how it handles court orders, and whether both parents are permitted to visit their child during daycare hours.

From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond--not just to "watch" the kids, but to truly teach, nurture, and connect with them. The growth I've seen in my children has been incredible. My oldest has graduated out but my youngest comes home excited, confident, and full of new things he's learned. What stands out most to me is how intentional the focus is on true development and connection. They don't teach just about letters, numbers, or milestones--they help each child grow into themselves with kindness, curiosity, and confidence. As a parent, specifically a single parent, I'm especially grateful for how seamlessly their approach aligns with the way I raise my children at home. The parallels between their teaching style and my parenting make it easy for my kids to absorb and retain what they're learning, which has made a huge difference in their growth. It's rare to find a place where you feel your children are not only safe, but also understood, supported, and genuinely loved. That's exactly what this center has given us. I can't recommend them highly enough!
