Q: I see they tore down Bear’s Den day care on the North Collier Hospital property. Are they rebuilding or building something new? — Megan Steed, Naples

A: Bear’s Den Childcare Center was razed this summer to make way for a proposed freestanding hospital expansion on the NCH North Naples campus along the north side of Immokalee Road between Health Park and Medical boulevards.
