We’ve had a terrible experience at Mama Bear’s these last few months. It started out okay, but over time it just seemed like Mama Bear didn’t enjoy spending time with our twins. Most recently, it was my oldest daughter’s birthday and first day of summer, so we had a fun day planned while our twins (3-years old) were at Mama Bear’s for the day. One hour into their day, Mama Bear called demanding we pick up the twins because my son wouldn’t come out from under the table. If you can’t figure out what to do when a 3-year old doesn’t want to come out from under a table, then you probably shouldn’t be running a daycare for toddlers.

My twins have been going to Mama Bear Eco Kidz for over a year and they absolutely love it there. They’re always talking about Mama Bear and the fun activities they did and friends they make. We love that it is a smaller class of children. They progress every day with their speech, writing and drawing.

This place is terrible. She clearly doesn't know how to take care of kids like sometimes they don't listen but every time they don't listen she has you come pick them up because she refuses to touch them like it's was my older sisters birthday on their last day and my brother was under the table and not coming out so we had to go pick him up an it made my sisters birthday ten times worse. Thanks so much mama bear.

Mama Bear Eco-Kids has been a wonderful, warm preschool for our son for the past two years. He has thrived in the nurturing environment and advanced academically and socially a tremendous amount. We are so grateful for Mama Bear and the sanctuary she has created. She seamlessly incorporates the natural world into learning, play and art.

Mama Bear has been such a blessing in this crazy year of 2020. My son cant wait to go to school every day and I love what they are learning! Small class sizes make us feel safe and nurtured. Can not say enough about the wonderful place Eco-kidz is!

Mama Bear's preschool is a warm and welcoming gem in Bend! Each day is filled with wonderful engaging experiences. It is the perfect place for our three year old to have fun interactions with friends and gain a bit of independence. We are so fortunate for the curiosity and wonder that Eco-Kidz adds to our son's day.

Mama Bear Oden's Eco Kidz is a fabulous preschool- we are so happy sending our 3 year old daughter there- she loves it. Mama Bear Oden is so nurturing with all the kiddos. We like the program so much because it is small and feels like a home environment in this cute little house. We couldn't be happier and plan to send our daughter there next year too! Our daughter is learning a ton if new things every day .

My son, Oscar, is right at home at Mama Bear's. I remember when we went in for a tour of the school and Mama Bear gave Oscar the tour, not me! Her use of essential oils and all natural creative play tools keeps Oscar calm and engaged. He comes home and calls me Mama Bear on accident because he loves her so much. Oscar has been going to Mama Bear's for a couple of years now and watching them bond has been so sweet. She genuinely loves him as well as the other students. We like that there aren't 40 kids here. The children receive Mama Bear's full attention each day and she knows them well. Our daughter will be going here in another year or so and we can't wait to see what Mama Bear has in store for her! Mama Bear's came highly recommended to us by our friend's daughters. That's what really got us. The girls loved it here so much and what better testimonial than that of a child!? Thank you, Mama Bear, for having us as your own family. We love you!

My kids didn't just LOVE to come here, they fell in love with learning because of Eco-Kidz's amazing curriculum and Mamabear's total dedication to her students. She loves teaching kids and she is the absolute best in the county at it. My kids tried out a couple of other schools in Bend before we found Eco-Kidz. After the first week we went from 3 days to 5 days a week because they begged me to go every day she was open. There was no complaining in the morning, no reminding them to get into the car... they were READY TO GO! She has an unbelievable set up at her school. Her Angel Bear Yoga and Meditation was amazing because my kids got more focused, calmer and paid attention better at home because of it. (I think this helped them learn much faster.) Even after we moved out to Sisters they begged me to bring them to her school one day a week so they could still enjoy her curriculum, which I did. They get to travel around the world, learn art by creating all sorts of things, science by growing things, mixing things together and tending to animals, take on animal and human characters in colorful, silly costumes, enjoy the specialized play areas, games and then... there is the awesome play yard. This school is SPECIAL. Today, 3 years later, my kids are both ONE YEAR AHEAD in Math and English... and it's all thanks to Eco-Kids. They learned how to LOVE LEARNING here. What more could I have asked for? Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mamabear. You're the best!
