About the Director

Welcome to Panda Bear Academy, my name is Gulzar Saleem, and I’m proud to be the owner of this wonderful childcare center. With a passion for early childhood development and a deep commitment to providing a nurturing and safe environment, I opened Panda Bear Academy with the goal of supporting both children and their families.

With 10+ years of experience in the childcare field, my journey began with a love for working with children, and that passion has only grown over the years. I hold a degree in Education, and I am dedicated to staying up to date with the latest in child development and education practices to ensure that the children in our care receive the best possible experience.

At Panda Bear Academy, we believe in creating a community where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore their curiosity. We take pride in offering a fun, enriching environment that fosters growth, learning, and play.

As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to find a childcare provider you can trust, and I am committed to offering that peace of mind. Our staff is carefully selected, well-trained, and shares my dedication to giving children the best start in life.

I look forward to welcoming your family to ours!

Warmly,
Gulzar Saleem
Owner, Panda Bear Academy
