DIRECTOR’S WELCOME

For over 22 years, 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.

Managing Director, Bear Hugs Preschool

HEAR FROM OUR ALUMNI

See what former Bear Hugs families have to say about their journey, and how those early years helped shape who their children are today.

They started with tiny backpacks, shy smiles, and turtle feeding at Bear Hugs. Now they’re engineers, artists, and changemakers studying across the world, from London and Montreal to Michigan and Chicago.

What stayed with them wasn’t just the academics, but the magic, the hugs, and the way Bear Hugs made them feel seen.
