A Safe, Loving Place to Learn
Located in San Jose, California
At Bright Bears Child Care, we believe the best early learning happens in an environment that feels like home — because it is one. Located in the heart of San Jose’s East Side, our licensed in-home daycare serves infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children in a warm, structured setting designed to support every stage of development.
Founded in 2019 by Ashley S., a credentialed early childhood educator with over a decade ofexperience, Bright Bears combines the intimacy of in-home care with the curriculum quality you’d expect from a professional program. We limit screen time, prioritize hands-on learning, and make sure every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated every single day.
