  My daughter has been with Gummy Bear for about 2 years. She started when she was only 10 months old. She had lots of fun there and learned lots of things. It’s meal included for reasonable price.Teachers are with passions and joy! Recommend!

  My daughter started at one of the Gummy Bear Child Care Centre locations when she was 17 months old and continued there for a year and a half. Even though it was far from both my home and workplace, we chose to stay because they always provided excellent care. Whenever we had concerns, they were supportive and understanding. The teachers are warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. Sometimes I even found myself feeling a little jealous of the bond my daughter had with them 🫠—just joking! But in all seriousness, it’s truly special for young children to build strong, loving relationships with their caregivers. My daughter grew up in a kind, affectionate environment where she felt safe, confident, and loved. Moya is an experienced and thoughtful director who truly understands the needs of both children and parents. She was always supportive and responsive. We’re sad to be leaving and will miss everyone 🥹

  Our 1-year-old twins started their childcare journey at Hula Bears, and like many parents, we were very worried about how they would manage separation anxiety, especially our daughter. I have to sincerely thank Moya for her incredible management and for building such a kind and professional team that truly supports families like ours, especially those with more than one child. Moya showed so much understanding and flexibility, allowing us to gradually introduce our daughter to the environment by being present with her for a while until she felt comfortable. A special thank-you to Sammy and Vicky, two of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Their patience, understanding, and genuine love for children were evident every day. I could see how much my kids adored them, and that trust and affection don’t come easily at such a young age. We’re genuinely sad to be leaving and will miss everyone deeply. I would definitely recommend Hula Bears to any family looking for a place where they can have complete peace of mind knowing their children are safe, happy, and loved. ❤️

  Excellent child care! My daughter started with Gym Bears/Gummy Bears at 10 months with a lot of separation anxiety, but Moya and her skilled teachers put her at ease. She was in their care for over a year and a half and had an amazing time. Somehow the top notch teachers Moya hires taught her all the letters, numbers, colours, shapes, and animals. And they spend so much time listening to happy kids songs that my daughter memorized a lot of the words and sings all the time. The teachers encourage a lot of friendship between the kids (small group of 8) and they would sing and dance and play together in the most heartwarming ways. They also do lots of arts and crafts which definitely helped my daughter’s hand coordination and a bunch of skills. The fridge will always have decorations. 😆 My daughter truly loves her teachers, and that’s because they truly loved her. She felt so safe in their care which must have been the perfect environment for her to learn so much. I had been nervous about if I was doing the right/best thing for my child when I first decided I would put her in daycare, but rest assured, this is a great place to spend those early years. As a bonus, they share so much with parents about how the day goes. 💗

  We had a difficult time finding a permanent spot for our son and spent six months moving between temporary placements, so we were incredibly grateful when we found Hula Bears. From the very first meeting, we felt an instant connection with Moya, and it was clear she had built a truly wonderful team. Sammy, Vicky, and Anita were all so genuine, patient, and caring. Knowing how our son’s day went through daily updates with photos and videos brought us such peace of mind, and being able to save those little memories means so much, especially as they grow so quickly. Our son never wanted to leave at pick-up, which spoke volumes about how happy and comfortable he felt there. We were truly sad to say goodbye as we moved on to the next chapter of preschool and deeply miss everyone in the Hula Bears family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hula Bears to any family looking for complete peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and genuinely loved.
