We feel really lucky to have found Three Bears Childcare for our daughter. From the very beginning, Stacey has created such a warm, caring environment for the kids. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely wonderful with them, and it shows in how comfortable and happy the children are there. As parents, Stacey also does an amazing job keeping us at ease. She communicates clearly, shares updates, and you can tell she truly cares about the kids' well-being and development. Since starting here, we've seen such a positive difference in our daughter. Her language skills have grown so much and she's becoming more confident interacting with other kids. It's been really special to watch those interpersonal skills develop in such a nurturing environment. We're very grateful to have Stacey and Three Bears Childcare as part of our daughter's early years. read more

My daughter has been going to three bears since she was about 10 months old and I could not speak more highly of it. Stacey and her teachers are extremely attentive and loving with the children. My favorite part of the day while at work is getting all the photos and videos throughout the day showing how much fun they're having read more

We absolutely love Three Bears! We decided to put our 2 year old in daycare after being watched by grandma for the first few years of his life. I was very nervous about how he would adjust but Stacey made the process SO easy from the start. She and the rest of the staff are amazing. Stacey is super organized and our son is thriving with the structure they provide. We love all the photos and video updates throughout the day and it's been so nice to see him making friends and just having the best time. It's been lovely to see his social skills bloom and he comes home every day with stories about what he did at school. We also love that the kids spend so much time outside and have lots of playtime. We recently potty trained and Stacey has also been so helpful with the process. Even from the first day, he rarely had accidents and I absolutely credit them with how easy it went. It's obvious how experienced she is and supportive of both us and all of the kids and parents. I would give Three Bears 10 stars if I could, and we feel so, so fortunate to have them in our neighborhood. It's such a good feeling to 100% trust Stacey and the other teachers with our child and we know we made the right choice with them! read more

Finding the right childcare felt overwhelming at first, but the moment we connected with Three Bears, we knew we'd found something special. Stacey and Vika are the heart and soul of this place, and their love and dedication show in every little detail. It started with a virtual tour--Stacey walked us through everything and answered all our questions with so much patience. She kept the tour virtual to avoid disrupting the kids, which immediately showed us how much they prioritize the children. We loved that thoughtful touch! When it came time to transition our 19-month-old, we were honestly nervous. She didn't speak any English, and she's very attached to us, so we expected a tough adjustment. Stacey and Vika made it feel so much easier. They created a personalized transition plan and were so patient and warm, not just with her but with us as parents, too. It wasn't just the teachers, either. The other kids welcomed her like family. The kindness they teach every day is so obvious in how the kids treat each other. To our surprise (and relief), she settled in after just 2.5 weeks. Now she runs into school every morning with a big smile and barely waves goodbye--should we laugh or cry? The learning here is incredible. Every day, she comes home with something new--letters, shapes, science experiments, songs, cultural activities, special events, and even stories from their visiting librarian. One teacher even took the extra step to learn a few words of our daughter's native language to help her learn letters more easily. That kind of care and attention to detail is truly rare and deeply appreciated. And it's not all about learning. Playtime is such a big part of the day, too. The kids spend a lot of time outside, and every time I pick her up, I hear laughter coming from the yard. It's so heartwarming to see how much fun they're having together. The care they provide goes way beyond the classroom. From warm hugs and big smiles to thoughtful check-ins when she's sick, Stacey and Vika truly care. They've even sent videos of the class saying they miss her when she's out--it's the sweetest thing. Their focus on health and safety is fantastic, too. They're quick to communicate if a child isn't feeling well and have clear policies in place, plus they even do safety drills like earthquakes and fire drills. One thing we absolutely love is the daily updates. We get pictures and videos of her day, and it's such a joy to see her learning and playing. They also send monthly calendars with weekly plans, so we always know what's coming up. It feels like they really understand how much it means for parents to stay connected. Oh, and the food! They serve three organic meals and two snacks every day. During the transition, Vika even adjusted the menu specifically for our daughter's preferences, which made such a difference. Now she's happily eating everything they serve! It's hard to put into words just how much we love Three Bears. This place really feels like a home away from home. What more could we ask for from a school than seeing our daughter thrive, stay healthy, and be so excited to go every day? If you're looking for a place where your child will be cared for like family, learn and explore, and make lifelong memories, you can't go wrong with Three Bears. read more

Our child loves going here and has learned so much! Everyone is sweet with the kids and teaches them how to respect and be kind to each other. We appreciate the cute videos and pictures sent daily. Stacey is always responsive and has great communication. Three Bears provides healthy meals as well, which makes the busy days easier. Thank you! read more

I have searched all the family day care around Daly City and finally I found Stacy's three little bear! We love the environment she creates for kiddos with creativity, love and patience. My 2 year old girl is very picky towards day cares but she enjoys the fruitful activities and she even named three little bear as babies' joyful park. She started to sing new songs right after day three at Stacy's and she enjoyed the food there too! We cooked eggs for my girl at home and she never eats. However, she loves eating eggs at Three little bear!! I don't know what magic Stacy applied but it works perfectly for my girl! I will highly recommend Stacy's Three little bear to everyone. We are so appreciate to have Stacy as the lead teacher! read more

The Three Bears Childcare - Always hugs from friendly friends! - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

We have two boys, first graduated from Three Bear at the age of 4.5 and successfully moved to TK. Stacey has a great preschool program, ABC, drawing, crafting... Our son learned good skills. The second boy is 2 and is in the daycare now. They both have very different characters but Stacey provides a consistent and personalized approach to both of them and we are happy seeing our second son learning so much already. We like that kids spent a good amount of time outdoors in the backyard. We get various pics and reports every day so it's easy to picture the experience that kids have in this daycare. It's never a mystery. Stacey is extremely organized. We have a good vision of the monthly schedule and program. The rules are clear and similar to other schools. We never had misunderstandings, tense situations, or conflicts with the staff. While parenting two kids and having full-time work we are low on energy 24/7, but it wasn't the issue with Stacey. She understands what it is to be a parent in S.F. as she has two kids who also attend this preschool. We are glad we got recommended to this place and since 2020 it has become an integral element of our life. We like the neighborhood too. Occasionally we walk to the Public Library around the corner for an additional after-school experience. There is Whole Foods next door so a groceries chore could be mixed with a kids pick up etc. read more

Three Bears has been amazing since we started bringing our 1 1/2 year old there 4 months ago. The level of care has been so good and we're finding that her development has been taken up a notch due to Stacey running it as a teaching daycare! It's basically a pre-school with how things are set up. Vika preps 3 organic meals and 2 snacks for them daily, so I know my little one is well fed, too. Stacey sends us photos throughout the day so we know how they're doing, whether they're doing circle time, art projects (pretty much daily), gardening, play time inside and outside, etc. All of a sudden my daughter has been saying 3 syllable names of the kids in daycare with her! It's cute and amazing. Truly, we couldn't be happier with sending her to Three Bears. I have no idea how Stacey does it, but her team is doing a great job while also keeping families informed. The e-mail updates if a kid in daycare came down with something like HFM or if they're offering extended care so parents can have a date night are great! I also love the monthly calendar of events they'll have each day. I swear, I get excited for the kids when I see what's on the calendar! With halloween coming up, this month is going to be amazing! read more

Our son (20 months) has been attending 3 Bears since August of this year and the experience has been nothing short of amazing for both our toddler, and us! Before joining 3 Bears, we had a wonderful nanny-share setup with another family and it was a very postiive experience, however as my son got older he craved learning and I knew in my heart that in order for him to thrive we needed to put him into a more structured setting for the learning and social aspects. The owner Stacey and her assistants Daniella and Melissa are so attentive and caring, and emphasize foundational values of empathy and respect. The kids at 3 Bears are the most affectionate children i've ever come across and I truly belive that's a testament to their teachers (and parents!). During my son's first week at 3 Bears i recieved photos galore of all the kiddos hugging and welcoming my son - yes, you read that right, pictures! The pictures are a HUGE bonus at 3 Bears. Stacey sends photos and videos of the kids directly to the parents every day and it's everything to be able to see them smiling, laughing and learning. It's also absolute torture (in the best way possible) to not be able to drive over and join them! The school itself offers everything a toddler could want, from arts and crafts, high quality toys, books, to outdoor playtime. There's a montly calendar full of activies and lessons, and the children are very well fed 5 times a day, inlcuding dinner! We were also surpised with how easy our son was able to transition into the Daycare setting. Stacey has a two week program to ease in new kids and we were surprised how quickly our son got used to the new sleep schedule. Prior to our son being at daycare he needed a very dark and quiet room otherwise he was impossible to get to sleep. Within a week of him being at 3 bears Stacy had him sleeping soundly in a mostly dark room with all the other kids. This is just yet another testament to the loving and caring environment at 3 bears childcare. read more

Our daughter was with Stacey and Vika for nearly two years and we had such a wonderful experience. Three Bears always felt like an exciting, safe, and enriching place for her. And having wonderful meals and snacks provided made life so easy. Our daughter made great friends through Three Bears and we feel she is well prepared for school. They have a wonderful community and great teachers. read more

We have been here a month and my child comes out happy clean and learning so much fun songs, letters, numbers and more! The teachers are among they are so sweet and supportive! The food also is healthy so the kids are definitely getting all that they need would definitely recommend!! read more

We sent our child to Three Bears Daycare at 1.5 years old and it was the BEST decision we could have made. As his first time with childcare outside of the home, we were nervous about the transition but Stacey & the other teachers were there with us every step of the way. To our surprise after a week he was already loving daycare. He's excited to go in the mornings, gives his teachers high fives on the way out, and is singing the songs he learns at school on the car ride home. The communication has also been great - I get photos and videos throughout the day and regular updates on how he's doing. There's even a librarian who comes to the daycare every week. We really couldn't say more great things about Three Bears Daycare. read more

The Three Bears Child Care is a safe and stimulating place for your infant or toddler. There is so much for them to do!Three Bears has the sort of structure that helps kids to become confident and well socialized. It's really more of a proper pre school AND they can even help with potty training when the time is right! read more

We have had such a wonderful experience with Three Bears Daycare. Our son has been attending for a few months now as his first daycare and it has been beyond expectations. Every day Stacey and her team send us multiple pictures and videos and always keep us updated on everything going on. We always feel very safe knowing he is so well taken care of. Even though our son can't talk yet (he is currently 14 months old), we know how much he loves it at Three Bears because he gets so excited every morning when we are walking up to hand him off for the day. I can't imagine him anywhere else and we feel so lucky to have found Three Bears (we were recommended from our neighbor who also had a wonderful experience with their two children who just graduated out). read more

Since Day 1, we just could not be happier with Three Bears Daycare. Stacey, Vika, and the entire staff takes care of our daughter as if she is their own. It is our first daycare experience and Three Bears really sets the bar high for themselves. There is a fun and interactive plan to each day which just further speaks to how engaged their staff is. I handle drop offs roughly 90% of the time and my daughter is constantly asking for her each instructor and all of her little friends on the way there. Three Bears has definitely found the secret recipe for success and we are grateful to be a part of it. read more

To those that are searching for a great daycare to send your little one to in San Francisco -- I wish you the best of luck. Finding a top tier daycare within the city limits is no easy task. We probably looked into and visited at least a dozen daycares, and Three Bears always remained at the top of our list from the beginning. Our son was fortunate enough to start at Three Bears about 6 months ago, and we couldn't be happier with our experience so far. Stacey and her staff have always been caring, professional, informative, and, safe during the pandemic. Stacey always treats our boy like he is her own, and, although we miss him during the day, we know he is in great hands! They also send us plenty of photos which we love. There's one quote from Stacey that sums up our experience with Three Bears. Stacey said in a text message that "they are honored to help raise our son." This has really stuck with us and makes it feel like he is staying with family instead of a business. We would not hesitate to recommend Three Bears to any parents to be. read more

My 2yo son went to Three Bears for only a short time, but he enjoyed it so much. I think Stacy and the staffs have done an amazing job taking care of and educating the children. It's been almost a year since his last day, and my wife and I still occasionally talk about Three Bears. We both believed my son's picked up all the good traits from this daycare. He is so gentle and polite with other kids, and he is so good at creative crafting now. A typical day at Three Bears starts with breakfast, then the day is filled with outdoor, crafting, and social activities. Lunches and dinners are also provided. The meals are my son's favorite. I sometimes feel bad because my son kept asking for more food. But hey, it's Stacy and Vika's faults for making such good hearty meals. Thanks you for making my son's first daycare experience so amazing. read more

After researching and visiting over a dozen daycares, both institutional and home-based daycare, Three Bears was always at the top of our list. Our son has been enrolled at Three Bears for about 5 months and his transformation is amazing. He is 14 months now, and is curious, independent and trying to sound out words. When I send our son to daycare, I know he is safe, loved and well fed (5 nutritious organic meals offered a day). It is so nice not having to worry about packing meals or snacks ! Initially, I was nervous about sleep and napping. However, my little man naps consistently very well at Three Bears !! He basically sleeps the same amount there as he does at home. Magic. One thing that always stands out to me is when Stacey says she so happy to be able to raise, teach and love him. This makes me feel like I am sending my baby to a family member, not just a daycare. If you can't tell by this review, I highly recommend Three Bears! We are so grateful to the amazing care Stacey, Olga, and Vika provide! read more

We were very excited to start sending our daughter to Three Bears because of the positive yelp reviews and how attentive and sweet Stacey was even before we started to send her there. We had high expectations but they exceeded them by far from the very first day! As is normal, our daughter cried a bit when we dropped her off on the first day, and Stacey just hugged her and warmly said "Transitions are hard, aren't they?" and took her in. Before we finished our drive home we received photos of our daughter already playing with the other kids (who seemed to be helping her), and the photos kept coming so we didn't have to worry one bit. Shortly after that and before our daughter completely adjusted there, she was sick and we didn't send her there for a week. During that time Stacey checked in with us several times and even sent a video of her classmates saying "hi ###, see you tomorrow!" Stacey creates a very warm environment for the kids and as a result, our daughter is excited to go there every day when she sees us start to get ready in the morning! We feel very connected through not only the photos, but also quick updates at drop off / pick up time and via text about how our daughter is developing and doing overall. Stacey clearly knows each child very well and cares about them so much. We noticed that since our daughter started to go there, she started to care about other kids more in general, and we are sure that she is not only having fun but also learning a lot from The Three Bears. We also really appreciate their protocol for COVID safety and general illness. They take strong but rational precautions, all wear masks, do socially distanced drop-off, and because of this we don't have to be worried about the risk of transmission there. We actually switched here from a previous daycare, so we know that all of the attention and care that The Three Bears provides is above and beyond what others would do, and we don't take it for granted. Thanks so much Stacey, Vika, and her assistants! read more

We have had such a great experience with Stacey at Three Bears. My daughter had a great first day and transitioned so quickly! She just loves being there. She enjoys the toys, books, activities and food she's given while she's at Three Bears. The moment I drop her off, she doesn't look back and is all smiles when I pick her up each day. You can really tell that Stacey enjoys and loves what she does as a childcare provider for the children and it really shows. She puts my mind at ease with her planning and great communication throughout the day. Vika provides healthy meals and snacks throughout the day, and she is an excellent cook. My daughter ate a wide variety of foods that I wouldn't have been able to introduce to her on my own. My daughter is really thriving at Three Bears. Her speech and personality have really blossomed there. I love all the art projects she brings home each week, along with all the daily videos and photos Stacey sends over. As much as I miss my daughter during the day, I know she's having a lot of fun and learning so much too. I totally recommend Three Bears to anyone who wants a safe and nurturing environment for their children to thrive in. read more

I would recommend this daycare with my whole heart. Our 2.5 years old absolutely loves going to daycare. Stacey and her mum are very sweet and loving. Our little one enjoys all the activities, playing with peers, making art, learning and she even loves napping there. Stacey texts pictures through day which is absolutely great. A huge positive for us that our daughter started speaking and singing in English (not her first language). It's so amusing to hear her new English catch phrases and songs. I could go on and on about this place, but to sum it up, do not hesitate to bring your little one here, your whole family will love it!!! read more

We love Stacy and her amazing team at Three Bears Childcare. Our daughter is thriving there and we couldn't be happier!! We get pictures and communication throughout the day letting keeping us involved and we absolutely love that!! Stacy is wonderful! She's creative and involved, and always has a educational, fun activity planned. There's tons of outdoor activities which is a huge plus for us. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!!!! read more

Our son began attending Three Bears when he was 9 months old and has been there for 8 months. We had not originally planned to start him in daycare until he was older but it has been a wonderful experience and we are so glad to have found a home with the Three Bears family. Our son has developed social skills with other kids earlier than we would have expected if we'd kept him home and has become more resilient in adapting to new situations. He has also learned to say please and thank you which we can only assume he picked up at school! They have truly helped raise him and we are so grateful. This is technically an in-home daycare but Stacey runs it very professionally. She began helping as a teenager when her mother Vika ran their sister center (Garden Daycare), and she has an amazing way with children and efficient approach to management. The assistants are wonderful as well (our son has taken to Olga in particular!), and all the kids love Mama Vika's (organic) cooking - breakfast, lunch, and a small dinner are included. Communication is consistent and organized (emails to parents with any major updates, calendar invites well in advance for the year's holiday schedule, frequent text updates with pictures throughout each day). This was our first experience with childcare outside of our home and they helped us through the (very fast) adjustment period. COVID posed a challenge here as for all daycares but they handled it all with grace. We were able to start back a bit earlier than most families because of my wife's "essential" job but have never felt unsafe or uninformed as more children have been coming back. They are still not operating at full capacity (12 children total is I believe their limit) given some families' decisions to keep their kids home, so I just hope they are able to weather the storm and that more families find a home here! read more

Three Bears is everything we could ask for. Stacey, her assistant Olga, and Vika (Stacey's mom and also the owner of Garden Daycare) all love my child. All of the children are treated as family. Stacey helped transition our child into her home daycare and grow to be more independent. I was a stay-at-home mom for over a year, so daycare was a huge change for our entire family. She had a clear plan and plenty of advice for us at home - starting half days, then transitioning to full days etc. She really focused on helping our child build trust with her, Olga, and Vika. We had lots of tears for the first month or so, as we had expected, and now our toddler runs out of the car to get inside as quickly as possible. I'm lucky if I even get a "bye bye" because my child is so excited to get inside. Stacey is highly communicative about practically everything. One of the biggest things I appreciate are the photos and videos that Stacey sends while my partner and I are at work. I get insight on all of the toys, songs, art, and activities that my child is enjoying with all of the other kids. On Fridays, my child comes home with a stack of artwork related to letters, shapes, colors, and sometimes holidays. My child is well-fed and clean and naps better at Three Bears than at home. I wish I knew how she keeps my child so clean with all of the meals eaten at daycare. She is also really mindful of my child's allergies, and she will contact me immediately if anything remotely looks like an allergic reaction. It's reassuring to know that my child is so well cared for, learning how to play with other toddlers and infants, and becoming more independent. My partner and I are so grateful for this daycare. read more

The process of finding a daycare in the city can be difficult and stressful. With all of the options out there, it's hard to know who to trust and if it's the right place for your child. The moment we stepped foot into Three Bears Daycare we immediately knew this was the place for our son. We started sending our son to Three Bears at six months old and it was the best decision we could have made! Each day is filled with a structured learning along with lots of playtime and awesome food. We got pictures several times a day along with any updates on our son, which was awesome since we were away from him for so long during the day. As the pandemic hit, we were not left in the dark. Stacey and her team provided meals for pickup for the kids, along with activity packets and circle time a couple of times a week that kept my little one engaged and excited to get back! The team is also amazing, especially Olga, who our son absolutely loves. We've recently moved and had to (very) sadly leave Three Bears, but they have become family and we still text and send pictures. Our son still talks about everyone and asks when we get to see them again. We love Three Bears!! read more

We love the Three Bears and their sister daycare, Garden daycare. My daughter went to the Garden daycare since she was 8 months old. Since then she has been so well taken care of that it feels like I am leaving her for the day with family. It's so heartening to know that you leave your child in a safe, loving and nourishing environment. They helped us with setting up nap schedules, eating schedules and emphasized positive behaviors. The food is fresh, healthy and better than what I can cook (honestly). My daughter also spent a lot of time at Three Bears as they do monthly date nights, which allows parents to leave the kids until 9 pm. Another AMAZING perk!! Honestly, in the time of the pandemic, when I was looking for that village to help me raise my child, Garden and Three Bears family provided that for my child and my family. We love them truly and feel so fortunate to have found them. read more

I found Three Bears scrolling through Yelp and bookmarked it as it had the highest star rating and there were quite a bit of reviews in comparison to the competition. We came in for an interview and I loved the facility immediately. I liked how extremely clean and organized everything was! I especially loved the yard space where there were many things the kids could play with. Stacey was so friendly and professional from the start! I instantly felt comfortable and at ease, she made us feel right at home. The rest of the team at Three Bears are all amazing as well! They provide home made, healthy organic meals and snacks. They teach the children well with in-class room type activities that build on cognitive development. They definitely lay a solid foundation in providing them with structure and as well as positive interaction with their peers. Our son and my fiance love Stacey and the Three Bears Team! We always leave feeling safe, sound and comfortable. Our son loves coming here and has made friends. We know he is in good hands. What I truly love is that Stacey and the Team truly cares about the kids. We receive texts for any updates on how he is doing, and photos when ever he is there to add to our picture albums. That is AWESOME!!! To add to the professional and business aspect of this, Stacey is spot on and always sends out a positive vibe. We LOVE working with Stacey and Three Bears. I'm already having separation anxiety for the day when our son will enter pre-school. Wish he could stay at Three Bears forever! (Well not forever, but you know what I mean! LOL). I interviewed at several different daycare centers before our son became part of the Three Bears family and it was a no-brainer to go with Three Bears. It wasn't even a question. read more

My daughter has been going here three days a week for nearly a year and we love it. She's happy every day, she's fed really well, the other children are darlings, and they're constantly making art, learning things, having parades for various holidays, and singing. It's just the cutest. I have no plans on switching her out of this place until she absolutely has to go to school. Three Bears is excellent!! read more

Stacey is everything you wish for in a childcare provider. She is sweet, caring, communicative and is a pro at running her childcare. She sends photos everyday so we know he is having a great time and is always responsive to any and all inquiries. My mom runs her own at-home childcare and started when I was in high school and I knew I always wanted my son to attend a childcare where the kids were like family just like my mom makes her kids feel. Our son started at Three Bears in February and the transition went a lot smoother than expected. Stacey was very understanding of my hesitancy to put him in another at-home childcare due to a traumatic experience with the first one we put him into. Three Bears is the complete opposite. Stacey is the sweetest caregiver to my son and really cares for children, just like her mom Vika. My 2-year-old naps well, eats well, and gets the social interaction he needs. He loves doing arts and crafts and really seems to enjoy playing, especially outside in the backyard area filled with all the best toys a little one could enjoy. Another great thing is that Stacey will send out monthly calendars so we know what the kids will be learning that month and there are always fun holiday-themed events, including celebrating the kids' birthdays. I can't wait until he starts speaking more so he can tell me about his fun days at "school." Thank you, Stacey, for continuing to watch over our little guy and giving me and my husband the peace-of-mind in knowing he is well cared for. read more

We love Stacey and her daycare. Our son started there when he was 15 mo. He is so happy with his friends and his teachers. Stacey communicates so well, sends us photos of our son every day which we appreciate soo much! Every day is structured and organized with arts/crafts, reading time and such. They serve delicious handmade organic meals 3 times a day plus snacks. Our son thrives at three bears. As working parents, we have no doubt that he is in good hands while we are at work. Highly recommend!! read more

Our oldest (2 years old) has been with Three Bears for a few months now, and we couldn't be happier. From Day 1, Stacey and her staff have taken such great care of our son, and he always looks forward to going to daycare every day. When we were looking for daycares, we got a recommendation for Three Bears. We reached out to Stacey and were given a virtual tour soon after. Stacey gave us a detailed overview of the daycare, structure, activities, etc., and was more than happy to answer any questions we had. A few of the many things that sets Three Bears apart is that they offer a day filled with ample outside play time, daily arts and crafts, and home cooked meals. Our son can be a picky eater from time to time but loves all of the meals he has at Three Bears. The staff is also great at communicating with the parents by sending photos and updates throughout the day. Stacey also sends out a monthly calendar of activities and even offers date night babysitting on certain weekends, which is another big plus. We couldn't recommend Three Bears more highly! read more

Three Bears has become a second home for our son over the past year and a half. Stacey is organized, experienced, and provides detailed reports regarding our son's daily activities and also makes the effort to communicate with us regarding his overall growth and development. She has done a wonderful job creating a warm community at Three Bears, where parents can trust that their children are well cared for. We love receiving daily pictures and knowing that our son will be fed healthy, organic meals and snacks there. We researched several child care options during the pandemic and are so glad we settled on Three Bears and that a spot became available for our son. read more

Absolutely wonderful! I studied child development so I'm extremely cautious about who my kids spend time with. The owner of Three Bears grew up in her mom's home daycare. She's had other professions but returned to this profession because she missed her upbringing. It's lovely to see the joy she takes in the kids' experiences, from their first finger-painting to their progression in potty training. She really pays attention to each family and is mindful of what else is going on in your life, including job, commute, siblings, etc. She is very well organized, with all activities planned out for the year. Each day is structured, with some leeway for changes in weather. Food is homemade and very healthy. She hosts events for all parents to interact. What most impresses me about Stacey is her positive attitude and emotional regulation skills. These have definitely passed on to my kid and it's a key factor to a happy and successful life. I'm so glad she saw it modeled regularly at the daycare. read more

Sending our daughter to The Three Bears has been one of the best decisions we made since she was born. During this COVID situation, they are the reason why we don't have to be worried about her social skills even though we can't see our friends as often or as closely as normal. She is learning singing and dancing with her friends there every day, and during our dinner time at home she is happy to show us what she learned. Also we really appreciate that they always encourage kids to greet each other when they arrive and say goodbye when they leave. We noticed a big difference in our daughter after we started to send her to Three Bears, as she started to be friendlier to other people she met. Stacey and her mom are such warm and compassionate people, not only for the kids but also for us parents. When our daughter was sick and lost her appetite, Stacey offered to share the lunches that Vika (Stacey's mom) makes because they know our daughter eats very well there. My wife and I couldn't stop laughing when we fed our daughter the food because she finished it really quickly as if she were not sick at all! When my wife was hospitalized (not COVID), they offered to share such generous amounts of foods to help me taking care of our daughter on my own. We don't have extended family in CA, but we feel like we have strong support because of their warmth and care. We feel so lucky to have them! read more

We love Stacey's daycare. Our son comes in with a smile every morning and leaves with a smile. Every month there is a calendar with a plan for every single day of the week. The outdoor space was recently renovated and it's awesome! :) The food mama Vika cooks every day is super nutritious and the kids love it! Another great thing is that Stacey sends us pictures every day so we can see what our little guy is doing throughout the day :) We highly recommend Three Bears Childcare! read more

We love TTBD, the owner Stacey and her assistants including Olga. Our son has been there for a few months now and has adjusted SO well. Stacey sends photos each day and updates us on our sons eating, naps and social development; All of which make us feel like we know what's going on even though we're not there. Her mom, Mama Vika makes wholesome organic food for the kids and even though my picky toddler barely eats at home I'm told he eats everything in sight at daycare :) We are all very grateful and happy to have found such a wonderful place to trust with our sons care. read more

We love this daycare family and its sister, Garden Daycare. Our 2 yo has attended since he was 10 mo. He learns so much at this school every day; to name some of the many things: social skills and sharing, manners and kindness, good sleep habits (!), good eating habits (!!), creativity with arts and crafts, letters, numbers and colors - the list can go on :) As a parent, it's an incredible feeling to know your child is in great care and very loved. We never have to worry about if he ate enough nor his safety nor what he's learning. They really love our kids like their own. Our 1 yo just started daycare and it has completely changed our lives (we delayed his start, while resolving some of his health issues). They are helping his sleep habits; and after the first week, he was sleeping through the night (seriously!). We also noticed they are learning to play better together. Both boys love Vika's homemade food and will call out her name at dinner time. There's a moment, after drop off, when you can take a nice, slow breath and it feels amazing, but you still find you miss them 5 minutes later - I look forward to the photo texts during the day to see their big smiles or them playing with their friends. Another treasure of this daycare are the "date nights" - some Fridays, they offer extended care until 9 pm. read more

We could not be happier with Stacey and her amazing staff. Our son started going to daycare at age 6 months, and it has been nothing but joy ever since. Every day, he comes home happy and exhausted! We marvel at the skills Stacey's team teaches, including words and phrases like CLAP CLAP CLAP (yes, he claps too when he says it) that we didn't teach him! We get daily photos of his day that bring us much joy. As he grows and is able to speak more, learn more, we know he's in good hands. Thank you Stacey for caring for our little one with so much love. It makes us feel very safe and secure, and sure that we made the right choice. read more

Our son started going to Three Bears earlier this year when he was already 1.5 years old. We were a little worried how he is going to adjust since he was old enough to understand that we were leaving him and wasn't easily distracted by toys, but Stacey and her team has been amazing. She would send pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know what he has been doing, and he seems to love the toy cars. He has been eating and sleeping well. Stacey's mom is so kind to make him special meals when he didn't want to have regular food. They even did the wonders- my son who has refused to have any fruits except banana and oranges, has lots of different fruits in the daycare. Stacey follows a schedule that teaches alphabets and crafts in a fun way, and she sends the routine to us as well which would let us know what they were doing each day. She is so kind and patient with the kids, even during the first days when my son was extra fussy and occasionally screamed, she wouldn't just ask him to not do it but rather explain it to him how his screaming hurt his friends' ears. I thought that so cute! I will highly recommend Three Bears to parents with children of any age, even the older ones. If you want to have a worry free day and see your child happy, Three Bears is the place. It melts my heart now when my son wakes up in the morning and grabs his shoes to go to "Tessee's" (Stacey's). read more

The Three Bears Childcare - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were lucky enough to have our baby at home for the first year...so it was a big transition for us to send our girl off to daycare. We wanted to make sure that she was taken care of in the right place: one where she could learn new things and get to socialize with peers in a safe and stimulating environment. Three Bears has been just that, and we are so glad to have found it! Our daughter loves her time there-she comes home happy, well-fed and tired out from all of the fun! Stacey and her team are kind, caring and communicative. We get lots of pictures throughout the day and updates about how her day has been. It's been a pleasure to see our girl enjoying her new environment, and we've seen huge growth as a result. For any parents looking, we highly recommend Three Bears! read more
