Of trusted early education
For over two decades, Bear Hugs Preschool has been guided by a simple belief: that early childhood should be joyful, nurturing, and filled with purpose.
Our vision has always been to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, and inspired to grow.
We believe a strong academic foundation is
important, but so are good manners, kind friendships,
and the freedom to explore.
Founder, Bear Hugs International Preschool
At Bear Hugs, we follow an American-based preschool curriculum that is hands-on, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to each stage of early childhood.
At Bear Hugs Preschool, our mission is to provide a creative, nurturing, and safe learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, express, and grow.
For over two decades, we have been committed to laying strong academic foundations while nurturing kindness, good manners, and emotional well-being. Through hands-on learning, meaningful relationships, and daily encouragement, we guide children to develop both confidence and compassion.
The early years are a powerful beginning and we’re here to make them count. At Bear Hugs Preschool, each new academic year brings fresh opportunities for your child to grow through purposeful play, creative exploration, and meaningful connections.
From their very first steps to their first school years, our programs are thoughtfully structured to support every stage of development, academically, socially, and emotionally.
