What We Do:

Busy Bee Academy provides a fun-filled, well rounded, education for your child.  We adhere to traditional, age appropriate curriculums designed to prepare children for Kindergarten and first grade by licensed and experienced teachers.  Not only do we teach early reading, writing and arithmetic, but our curriculums include many additional learning activities and experiences.  These include introductions to other languages (Spanish), seasonally appropriate field trips, hands-on gardening, art, music, weekly dance classes, sign language, Kindergarten classroom etiquette, beginning computer skills and good manners.  We encourage and help children with their own social and emotional growth, instilling confidence as they grow.  Our staff specializes in making every day an adventure filled with fun, friends, and learning!

We provide wholesome, delicious hot lunches and snacks.  We are sensitive to food allergies and do not use any peanut products.  Continental breakfasts are provided until 8 am.  Sack lunches are welcome and menus are sent home every month along with our parent newsletter.  We participate in the USDA - CACFP child food program and our lunches are planned by a licensed child nutritionist.  We limit television time to educational programs (30 minutes max, Fridays only,) computer time to 10 minutes per day and encourage healthy eating habits and physical activity.

Call Us Today!

At Busy Bee Academy, we encourage parent involvement.  Parents (only) are welcome to drop in at any time, have lunch with their children, accompany us on field trips, or just say hello. We offer Skype communication for parents serving in the military or for those experiencing a little separation anxiety. (It has been our experience that children usually don't want to leave BBA.) 

We know that the years leading up to age 7 are the most important in your child's development.  We provide small class sizes to allow for individual attention and nurturing.

We strive to provide a safe, clean, wholesome environment for your children to learn, play and grow. Give us a call and arrange for a personal tour today!
