From parents

What parents say about them

Google reviews, word for word. Parents spell the teachers’ titles differently (Miss, Ms., Mrs.); we kept them as written.

“Miss Emily is wonderful! My son had her for 2 years and she is patient, kind, upbeat, and does the cutest and fun lessons with the kiddos! We’ve had a wonderful experience!”

“We’ve had such a great experience at Busy Bee Academy. My daughter has learned so much and has really grown in confidence and independence. Ms. Emily does an amazing job helping the kids learn routines, listening, and classroom expectations that truly prepare them for preschool. My daughter loves going and is always excited to tell me about her day. We’re so grateful for this program and highly recommend it!”
