Our Story
I started The Teddy Bear Club in 1993 with my husband because we saw a need to combine the best elements of American preschool programs with some of the wonderful aspects of the French education I received growing up in Paris.
Over the last 33 years, it has been my privilege to see TBC evolve from a six-child classroom to more than 150 students across two campuses and to have my son working alongside me.
