What Makes BEARS Special
"The wonderful loving atmosphere – all are cherished: children, teachers, parents, helpers. There isn’t a better place to be." -Mrs. Tuttle, BEARS Teacher.
"Where do I begin?! There are so many special things about BEARS – those that stick out the most are probably the adorable Christmas & Spring Musical Programs. They don’t do this type of thing in our elementary schools, and I have priceless memories on film! My girls both SO enjoyed the music program at BEARS, and it truly did foster their love of music! The teachers themselves are all individually special in their own right as well…. they each bring a gift.. (Experiments, storytelling, singing, patience just to name a few!) On top of that, they adore the children and make them feel welcomed and loved. I cannot tell you how lucky I am to have sent my girls to BEARS Preschool!" -Leah Sneed, parent.
"BEARS is truly a special place. In every room I enter, there are very happy faces! The teachers are all loving and kind!" - Miss "Rainy", BEARS Teacher.
"SO many things -- the teachers are really the best. No matter what age, they know all the children and make the school experience so rewarding and fun. I have the most cherished memories of our preschool experience." -Courtney Kramer, parent.
“I have been with BEARS since its beginning, and I feel like I have put much effort and self into making it work. It is a most loving environment thanks to all the wonderful families and their children who come to the preschool. You are very dedicated and special people.” - Mrs. Crea, BEARS Teacher.
"I think our music program makes BEARS unique. The kids love it and parents and other relatives LOVE to hear them "sing their hearts out" on stage during the spring/Christmas performances!" -Melissa Schoemer, parent.
"BEARS is a special place where children learn in a loving and nurturing environment. It is special because of the great people working here--you want to come to work to play with the children and see your friends." - Mrs. Schirtzinger, BEARS Teacher.
"The music, sign language, enrichment, Spanish word introductions all are exceptional, but without a doubt, the heart and soul of BEARS are the incredibly creative and caring teachers!! The teachers at BEARS do such an amazing job providing individual attention, instilling self-confidence, and making learning so much fun for the children! They're only little once, so by making school fun and exciting the teachers instill a love of learning in the children that lasts a lifetime!" -Sally Hackett, parent.
“All children will have a positive experience and be surrounded by teachers and staff that are devoted to sharing their time and talents.” - Mrs. Statczar, BEARS Teacher.
"Oh my stars...the teachers and the programs. The teachers are passionate and take pride in being the best. They exude positive energy and nurture each child's capacity to learn. I can see the BEARS teachers shaping my child's future right before my eyes. The relationship that exists between the teacher, child and parent is unlike any other preschool. There is an easy feeling in talking to the teachers about my child's development. I feel at home as a parent when I walk the halls of BEARS. I certainly have to include the V.I.P. program as well. What other preschool has The Ohio State University Cheerleaders and Brutus perform for the preschool? "-Mindy Thomas, parent.
"Over the years, there have been many times that we have laughed until our sides hurt. What more could you ask from a job?!" - Mrs. Gavin, BEARS Teacher.
“Bears is special to me because of the continuity of the teachers each year. My son, who is now almost 11, started his first preschool experience with some of the same teachers who teach here at BEARS. My daughter has also gone through BEARS with familiar faces and the same TLC that my son was given.” - Mrs. Keyes, BEARS Teacher.
“The teachers learn to be better teachers. The children have time to be children. Dreamers can dream, and creativity is always appreciated!” -Mrs. Rapp, BEARS Teacher.
