THE STAFF AT BEARLY TAWL ARE CARING AND COMMITTED to healthy child development. They helped raise our son from 3-months until 4-years. He started in the nursery where Joan and Martha were amazing – we always felt good leaving him in their care. After he started walking, he moved to the Wobbler room where Mary helped develop his skills. From there, he transitioned into the Toddler Room and then into the Pre-School where he continued to have fun and develop his skills. Our son was always excited to attend Bearly Tawl. The owners, Martha and Larry, and their entire staff, always made him feel loved. We will be forever grateful for the care our son received and would highly recommend Bearly Tawl to other families. -The Bradley Family

WE MOVED TO EVERGREEN FROM BOSTON and heard such great things about Bearly Tawl that we got on the wait list as early as possible. The wait was well worth it. Our daughter loved every minute of her time there. Martha, Larry, and the entire staff were wonderful. They take great care and pride in their work and it shows. We consider it to be an exceptional daycare environment, the best we have seen in our constant moving around, and we are sad to have to move on ourselves. If we could only convince Martha to open a facility in Los Angeles! Andrew and Melissa - Los Angeles (formerly Evergreen)

AFTER EIGHT WONDERFUL AND FULFILLING YEARS with Bearly Tawl, it is hard to believe that our children are both now launched into their Elementary School years. The foundation of learning gained first by our daughter, and then by our son, through to the start of their Kindergarten year has been invaluable. Our children learned terrific social skills under your care providers, while gaining all the basic academic skills that have so well prepared them for Kindergarten. In addition, they had a blast with the other children and your staff. Both of them will remember their day care years with great affection. And, you know how much we have appreciated your partnership in supporting our children. Lastly, we want to be sure you know that the contribution Bearly Tawl makes to the development of families and young children in the Evergreen community does not go unnoticed. BEARLY TAWL IS THE BEST! -Barbara and Don, Evergreen, CO

WHEN WE FIRST VISITED BEARLY TAWL we immediately felt secure leaving our newborn in the care of Larry and Martha. Four years later we placed our second child in these same capable and caring hands. Both of our children have thrived in the family atmosphere created by Larry and Martha. Our children have benefited from smaller groups and receive individual attention for all their needs-from toilet training to kindergarten preparation. When our daughter left the school she was more than ready for public school and she is excited to do schoolwork, as well as spend time with her friends that she still has from the preschool. Our son runs into school to see his 'buds' and the variety of activities provided for him each day. As parents we are extremely satisfied with the services provided by Bearly Tawl. -Carl, Evergreen, CO

WE MOVED TO EVERGREEN FROM NEW ENGLAND shortly before our first daughter was born, and we had no family nearby to help with childcare. We sent her off to Bearly Tawl at just three months. We were apprehensive, but Larry and Martha and the Bearly Tawl staff made the transition much easier for us. For about 6 years–until our second daughter left for pre-school– Bearly Tawl was part of our family, and Larry and Martha were our kids' Colorado grandparents. We couldn't imagine a more loving and supportive environment for our little ones. -Tim and Joy, Evergreen, CO

MY DAUGHTER ATTENDED BEARLY TAWL from approximately one year until she was almost 5 years old. From the minute that we first met Martha, we felt instantly comfortable leaving our precious daughter at Bearly Tawl. The facility is very clean, inviting and homey. Martha and Larry and all of the Bearly Tawl staff took wonderful care of our little girl through the years. It meant a lot to us that we had the comfort of knowing that she was being taken care of by such a nurturing, caring and responsible group of people. We will forever be in their debt for all that Bearly Tawl taught us as new parents and our child. We are especially thankful for the particular attention spent by the Bearly Tawl staff on teaching her basic things such as manners, being respectful of and getting along with other children and adults, and potty training! Bearly Tawl made our daughter’s first five years of her life very special, and we will never forget them! -Erica

MARTHA AND LARRY BALDON BEGAN CARING for our daughter when she was just six weeks old. When Leanne went back to work it was difficult as you can imagine. Leaving our daughter each morning with someone as kind and caring as Martha was a great relief. We used to kid that Martha and Larry were like grandparents to our daughter. If you think about it, she spent more time with them than her actual grandparents and almost more than with us. The years she spent at Bearly Tawl were filled with lots of love, care and attention. She learned the proper way to interact with other kids that helped her a lot when she finally went off to school. They gently required respect and discipline from her and helped her develop a strong positive identity. In short, we are very thankful that we fortunate enough to find such wonderful people to care for our daughter while we were at work. -Leanne and Dave

THERE ARE PLENTY OF ADJECTIVES THAT WE CAN SAY about the Bearly Tawl staff: kind, gentle, caring, sincere, respectful, stable and reliable. And the facility itself: clean, safe, stimulating, and fun. Not to mention conveniently located. We have been very pleased with the care that has been provided to our son in the past nine months, and we intend to remain at Bearly Tawl until he goes to Kindergarten (that's four years away!). Good daycare is really hard to find, and we are so pleased to have found Bearly Tawl. Our son is so very happy to toddle into the "Big House" in the morning, and that is a great indicator of the quality of care he is receiving. -Carol and Rick, Evergreen, CO

ALL THREE OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP at the Bearly Tawl Child Care Center. Our twins, at age three, have been there since they were 4 months of age and just love it. Bearly Tawl offers a smaller, warm family environment that is very important to us and our children. We trust the owners and their staff, as we know they care about our children and provide a fun, yet structured environment for them. As full-time working parents, it was so very important to us to find the right environment for our children and I am happy to say we found it. -Terri and Stuart, Evergreen, CO
