Michelle Albino - (Luca)
My son, Luca, started at little bear daycare when he was just 4 months old (started February 2020). Both my husband and I are registered nurses, so we had to find a daycare quick and most daycare centers had years long waitlists and other “higher rated” in home daycares on yelp weren’t accepting new children at the time.
I stumbled upon Little Bear Daycare by chance and made an appointment for a tour and out of mere desperation, I quickly pulled the trigger to just enroll Luca in to Little Bear Daycare. Quite honestly, it was one of the best decisions we have made for our son.
When we enrolled, Luca had issues with severe reflux, eczema and cradle cap. Diana, Matt and Ana did such a wonderful job with taking care of my son’s skin and following regimens that I do at home, sometimes even more so. They are great with communication- texts throughout the day with updates, pictures and/or videos. You can also text them anytime throughout the day to check up as well.
Little Bear Daycare closed for the month in April due to the start of Covid, during this month I brought Luca to a temporary in home daycare and I can tell you that the temporary daycare did not match up with Little Bear at all.
Another plus, which I didn’t know when I enrolled my son is that Matt is vegan so they also provide healthy, plant based food to the kids. As a vegetarian family, this was wonderful news to us and definitely unexpected when we found out!
I also started Luca with baby sign language early on in his life and Diana and Matt are great with continuing this during his daycare time as well.
They say that the first 5 years of a child’s life is fundamentally important and is the foundation that shapes the child’s future health, happiness, growth and development - and I can honestly say that Diana and Matt have made a great impact on Luca’s life so far.. and he’s just 16 months old!
I can’t say enough of how much I recommend Little Bear Daycare!

Our family adores Little Bear Daycare. Diana and Matt provide dedicated attention and care to our son. They listen to us, provide constant updates, thoughtful suggestions, and adorable photos. Little Bear offers a variety of healthy foods, activities, and learning opportunities for every age. We feel incredible fortunate to hage been welcomed into the Little Bear family!

We've been with Little Bear Daycare for about 1.5 years now. My oldest started when she was 18 months old, and now her baby brother is there as well. I cannot say enough about how happy we've been with Diana, Matt, Ana, and all staff members. They provide a safe and happy environment for our children, which was what we were looking for. They provide healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks and accommodate my son's dietary restrictions. They provide updates and photos throughout the day via an app, which helps when you miss your babies during the workday. They shared with me when my daughter was showing signs of potty-training readiness, and once we started potty training at home, they supported a very smooth transition out of diapers. When she was showing signs of a speech delay, they shared their observations with me, which led me to do some testing and learned my child had chronic ear infections that were impacting her hearing--I'm so glad they raised the concern with us so we could get her the medical support she needed! All of that is to say, Little Bear is so much more than a daycare, and I am so glad I can go to work knowing that my child is in good hands.

We were with Little Bear when my son was 1 1/2 until he turned 3 and went to preschool. They gave us such peace of mind while we worked long hours. They are so nurturing and the meals they fed were nutricious and mostlye organic. It was one less thing to worry about. They also worked with my early work schedule and changing hours. Always so flexible and accomodating. My son is 5 now and still talks about them and remembers them fondly. We highly recommend them for daycare services.
