Pooh Bear & Friends Educare

Both my daughters began their schooling at Pooh Bear and Friends Educare in 2023. My eldest, Kara, was initially reserved and spoke very little. Within months of attending the school, Kara began speaking clearly, counting confidently, and showing a strong eagerness to learn. This transformation is a testament to Chantell’s phenomenal teaching methods and her ability to connect deeply with each child.

Chantell’s approach is individualized and nurturing. She pays close attention to each child’s needs and encourages them to excel academically and socially. Her bond with Kara is particularly special—she has helped Kara overcome food aversions and inspired her to try new things, including pizza and chicken nuggets, which she previously refused.

Thanks to Chantell’s guidance, both my daughters have exceeded expectations in their academic development. They are always excited to attend school and eager to explore new ideas. Chantell’s influence has been instrumental in shaping their confidence and curiosity.

We have had a truly amazing experience at Pooh Bear & Friends Educare! The owner’s dedication and expertise are evident in the care and education provided. Chantell is incredibly professional and thorough, demonstrating immense passion. We enrolled our daughter when she was only a few months old, and she remained with Pooh Bear & Friends until Grade R. This was the best decision we ever made, and as parents, we know such choices are never easy. She has blossomed and gained so much confidence during her time there, progressing significantly in her speech and all-around learning. The school is very well-maintained, tidy, and always kept clean. They offer services that are perfectly suited for our children’s needs. Pooh Bear has had a huge impact on our daughter’s education and life, and we are so grateful we made the decision to enroll her in 2020; we never looked back or considered any other option as they are impeccable. The school even offers sleepovers (extremely safe and fun for the kids), which is a fantastic idea—the children absolutely love it and have a great time while parents get a night off. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to families seeking a top-notch, clean, and friendly learning environment for their little ones.

"A place that truly feels like home!"As a mom, nothing brings me more peace than knowing my children are safe, loved, and happy when I'm not around — and that's exactly what Pooh-Bear & Friends Educare has been for both my boys.

My eldest son, Kai, started at Pooh-Bear in 2020 and stayed right up until he graduated last year. Now, at six years old, he still insists on joining in for sleepover parties and special events – that’s how much he loves it! My youngest, Dalton, has been part of the Pooh-Bear family since he was just six months old, and watching him grow in such a nurturing, fun-filled environment has been an absolute joy.

The care, attention, and genuine love that pours from this school are unlike anything else. Chantell F. Rimmer, who oversees everything with such passion and hands-on dedication, runs the school with her heart. Her presence and involvement in every little detail make all the difference. You can feel the warmth from the moment you walk through the door – it’s more than just a school; it’s a second home.

The teachers are very friendly and caring; I have never heard any complaints about how children are treated. The school management is well ahead of the game, and learning-wise, my child has done so well at the school. The 2023 concert and graduation ceremony were well-planned and executed—well done to the teachers and organizers!!!

Both my kids love going to their school, and we are happy with the great, quality education they both receive. My son has improved so much since starting at Pooh Bear.
