We have been raising our GrandDaughter since 3 mths old and from the start were concerned about her education here in Montgomery, however, when she started Bear in K and we saw how happy, concerned, warm and caring the whole school staff was, we were at ease. This is a wonderful school, it is very, very safe and you feel like you are in a big family there. She is still in Bear and unfortunately this will be her last year, she is now a big 5th grader and has to move on...we wish she could stay forever. God lead us to Bear and we will never forget it...he truly Blessed us and our GrandDaughter...the teachers and staff and all of the parents we have met are sooooo sweet and caring. Please try to get your child in this great school, you will be forever pleased that your children or grandchildren were Blessed to have gotten in..

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
