Full Ranking Detail
Ages 6wk–KNonprofitHome-Cooked Meals
Teddy Bear Tymes Child Care Center is a non-profit provider on E Gilbert St in San Bernardino, serving infants through kindergarten-age children with both full-time and part-time enrollment, plus before- and after-school care for school-age children. Since 1987, the center has maintained a mission-driven approach centered on a distinctive practice: home-cooked meals served daily, a genuine differentiator from chain providers relying on packaged food. Staff are certified in CPR and First Aid and fingerprinted per California licensing standards. The center's holistic curriculum spans reading, writing, math, and science. Limited public review data restricts independent verification of parent experience, and the county office address setting may differ in feel from private boutique alternatives.
