With a licensed capacity of only 36 preschool and school age children, Panda Bear staff are able become closely involved with each child individually. From the front our center looks like a house and inside it sometimes feels more like a family gathering than a daycare session. The difference is that family gatherings rarely have alphabet songs and counting games.
