Finding Busy Bee Preschool and Miss Benna have been an answered prayer. My son is three and his first time in childcare and I can wholeheartedly say this is the only place for him and our family.

Absolutely wonderful. Ms Benna really cares and loves the kids. She sends many pictures throughout the day. It's a small program with spanish immersion. There were many problems with the previous daycare (Afreya's/little treasures), and it was great to get into busy bee.

We would honestly go bananas if it wasn’t for Ms. Benna. Our daughter started at Busy Bee when she was 1.5 years old, and now she’s almost 4. The time has flown by.
Before Busy Bee, we tried another daycare and had to pull our daughter out almost immediately after they kept throwing away my breastmilk! It was a stressful experience, so finding Busy Bee felt like such a relief.
Since then, it has been an amazing experience. I never worry about what’s happening during the day because I know she’s in great hands. I trust Ms. Benna and Ms. Alejandra completely. Honestly, I trust them more than I trust my husband!
Our daughter has a few dietary needs, and Ms. Benna always makes sure they are handled without any issues. And on days when there are after-school parties, Ms. Alejandra even does Zara’s hair so nicely, which is such a thoughtful touch.
We feel really lucky to have found Busy Bee and couldn’t be more thankful for the care they provide.

Bena and Alejandra take great care to make sure their kids are taken care of from education to proper nutrition through the day. I have nothing but positive memories at Busy Bee Preschool!

Spanish Immersion Preschool Experience:
My daughter has been going to Busybee Preschool for over 9 months, starting at around 2.5 years old, and it was recommended to me by a friend. I couldn’t be more pleased with her experience. Initially, I was nervous since it was her first preschool, but within a few months, I saw significant improvements in her social and emotional behavior. She became more comfortable interacting with new people and making friends. Now, she looks forward to school every day, and I’ve never heard a single complaint. This positive experience is largely due to the wonderful teachers, especially Ms. Bena, whose passion for caring for children shines through in everything she does. She treats each child as her own and maintains high energy and dedication throughout the day. Ms. Alexandra is also fantastic, fully engaging with the children and creating a supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and respect each other. I highly recommend Busybee to any parents looking for a nurturing, enriching, and safe preschool.

We got so lucky in scoring a spot at Busy Bee! Our 4 year old has been with Mrs Benna for over a year and we couldn’t be happier. The routine is structured, the food is better than what we eat at home, and my 4 year old could start kindergarten tomorrow given how much she has learned already. Our daughter comes home happy and exhausted every day, and based on the picture updates we get throughout the day, we know she’s having so much fun with her buddies. We’ll be excited to send her to Kindy next year, but it will be a sad day when she has to leave Mrs. Benna’s.
