We have had our son in Busy Bees since around 4 months old. They have been nothing but kind and great in his learning experience. We are blown away all that he has learned and we love how good they have been with covid precautions. Our son seems to like his classmates and the teachers. Most recently we had a birthday for our son and got a chance to meet all the kids and they all seemed to be well cared for and happy. He started out in the baby room and just turned 3 so he’s now with the older kids and is learning and having fun. They share pictures to their Facebook and WhatsApp so we always are kept in the loop on special events. I read a review that the owner is “money hungry” from a few years ago and that couldn’t be further from the truth- she is the absolute best, professional and loves each and every one of those kids in her school.

This is my daughter’s 3rd daycare. After having nightmare experiences with the first two places we have finally found the right and perfect place! They treat her with respect and love her as if she were their own. This place, the owner and teachers truly are a blessing! I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else! She has grown so much in just the few weeks she’s been there it’s amazing! I highly recommend this school!!!

I can’t imagine that someone can be dissatisfied with place. My daughter absolutely loved Busy Bees when she was there from 2 to 3 y.o (then we moved to another state and regret a lot about losing Busy Bees). The teachers are extremely careful and my daughter learned sooo much that year. activities range was very wide, from breakfasts for Mother’s and Father’s day to petting zoo with pony rides at Dr.Seuss’ day. They don’t charge if you leave them (like it was with our friends in one fancy Montessori daycare), and the director is very communicative and nice lady. I want to thank them for this amazing experience and wish good luck!

This will be my daughters second year at Busy Bee. Previously, my daughter had a difficult time with other providers. The teachers at Busy Bee have gone above and beyond to be patient and understanding with my daughter. I am happy to say my daughter has found a place to create happy memories with staff and friends. She feels safe in the environment and she is engaged in the activities and curriculum. Thank you staff at Busy Bee!

The best daycare I could have dreamed of! We’ve been with busy bees for 5 years. Both of my sons are going and are very happy. When we switched our older son to this daycare, we could see the positives from day one, he just wanted to come back every day and was very excited. This was such a great moment for us, because seeing our children being happy here is very important. So, there was no doubt when it was time for our younger one to go here as well. Great teachers and the owner are so intelligent and professional. Each of them truly cares about the children’s well-being and learning through play. Great activities every day, children learn all aspects in a fun manner. Amazing place for children to learn and grow and play! We love Busy Bees Academy!

Our son and daughter have attended this school from the day they were old enough. We could not be happier. The property, building, bathrooms, toys, and learning materials are kept incredibly clean and organized. The playground is AMAZING! Thank you Busy Bee, Mrs. H., and all the teachers and staff for helping us raise intelligent and responsible children and for always loving and supporting our little ones!

Best school with the most loving teachers and staff. Our 2 girls have attended Busy Bees for almost 4 years and there is no where else we would send them. Many friends have chosen other daycares/schools in the vicinity, some newer, and their experiences do not compare to the educational experience our girls have received. Mrs. Harvinder, the director, is loving yet firm and provides a warm environment for the children which you get from all of the teachers. We feel blessed daily to know our children are safe and loved while we have to work. Thank you Busy Bees for helping to raise our children!!

We visited/interviewed three Schools for our Son when he was a toddler. We are always glad that we found and finalized Busy Bees as our childs first School.The Director Mrs.Harvinder and all the staff are very caring, nurturing and understanding. They strive to create a loving and learning atmosphere for the children. They have a good mix of learning, playing and exploration time for the kids. My Son always enjoys going to the School and spending time with his friends and teacher.We always look forward to the special events they have for Halloween, Christmas and so on, when the Parents can join the festivities for a couple of hours and have fun too. Overall a great school in the area. We might join our daughter too when shes ready and if were still living in this area at the time :)

The owner is the most unprofessional person you will ever meet. I called and asked if they had openings for a 2 year old and 3 month old she told me yes. When I came there for a tour, that turned out to be false ! Its very crowded under staffed and she wanted to find a way to squeeze my kids in there just for the money. She is very money hungry as well. She told me a price and changed it (upd the charge) Then stated oh I have to see what price I told you, I wrote it down. And if thats the price I promised you I will go with that so there is no set price ! Stay far away the school is all over the place. Dirty bathrooms for kids who are potty training and dirty play ground thats rusted and dirty toys. The kids are not separated by age. There are no classrooms everything is open like a big room. Very messy! Uncomfortable! Understaffed ! Unsanitary ! Very bad security, anyone can just walk in.

Busy Bee has been a part of our lives since 2004. I do not recall how we learned of the preschool, but can say that having our son attend Busy Bee was one of the best decisions we made. As a parent, there is much comfort in being able to walk away from your child on a daily basis and not be concerned. The staff at Busy Bee had always been very attentive, caring, and nurturing. Academically, our son has continued to excel, due to the fostering and foundation he received while attending Busy Bee. Eight years later, I still trust, love and appreciate all the staff have to offer. So much so, that I have entrusted them with another one of my blessings. To the staff at Busy Bee Academy, a sincere “thank you,” not only for making our lives that much easier, but for making my children’s future that much brighter.

I have 2 of my children enrolled in Busy Bees and have nothing but positive things to say about them. I always felt safe leaving my children in the care of all the teachers. My kids looked forward to going to school and my 4 year old comes home everyday with a story about what she learned that day. Thank you Busy Bees for making my choice easy to join your other location.

Busy Bees was a great start for my son. The director Ms. Harvinder and her staff are very understanding, caring, nurturing and co-operative. They bring out the best in the kids. Even though my son is in elementary school now, but, he still loves visiting his old school.

I had my son there for almost a year and in general was disappointed with his experience. A number of times when I had come to pick him up I would hear teachers yelling at the kids. I went to the director to explain my concern and she really didnt seem to care. This is a very impressionable age and I dont see how yelling at kids is beneficial. Its only going to make kids hate school. These are little kids who are still learning how to do things, there is no reason to yell. By the way, one of the other staff member was also concerned about this and spoken to the director and was later fired. Please people if you care about your child, send them somewhere where people really love kids.

My son has attended this school since he was 6 months old and he is nearly 3 now. I LOVE this school and ALL the teachers. Very caring and loving and just great at their jobs. My son has learned SO MUCH MORE than I though possible at his age and I thank Busy Bees for that. He learns cleanliness, manners and so much more (outside of actual ABCs and 123s).They keep the place tidy and clean all the time. I have never once had a problem with anything or anyone. I love this school so much that I will be moving soon and I refuse to take my son out of Busy Bees that I will drive the extra distance to keep him there.BUSY BEES ROCKS!!!!

Busy Bees is such an amazing preschool in Boca Raton. The staff is equally fabulous and they have created the proper educational environment for kids to learn.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this hidden gem in Boca. My two kids have been going here for a little over 2 years now. I originally came from a corporate owned day care and was afraid to make a change, but after just a few weeks my kids were thriving. My daughter LOVES Busy Bees and has made some amazing friendships here. When I pick her up she never wants to leave whereas she used to cry at her old day care and couldnt wait to get out of there. My 2 year old has an amazing vocabulary, is counting, recognizing letters and learning more and more each day. No, this is not a state of the art brand new facility, its an older place but very well maintained. They are constantly cleaning and disinfecting the toys, restrooms etc. All of the students are thriving and are advanced in may milestones appropriate for their age thanks to their amazing and caring teachers. They do so many things for the kids and the families to ensure a nurturing environment. This place is an extension of my home. The teachers treat their kids like their own and make me feel like Im part of their family. The director is amazing. She goes above and beyond to do things for the kids and their families. If what you want is a brand new facility with rigid rules then this isnt the place for your. If you are looking for a place you can call a second home for your child where you know they will be loved, cared for and taught a lot of amazing things, this is the place. Reading some of the negative reviews Im floored. They have several teachers and aids here and always have someone watching the kids. Ive never seen them unattended. In fact, Im amazing at how well organized they are (they listen more to them then they do to me). The rooms are open because that is their approach to teaching, similar to a Montessori school. This actually helps to make the children thrive more because they are able to interact with older students and all the teachers help each other out. Security??? the doors are locked. You cant go in without a code so again, not sure where that comment came from. As far as the yelling? Again, Ive seen them reprimand the children and Ive never seen them yelling. If there are a lot of children talking then yes they have to raise, thats expected. You cant expect your children to be respectful adults if they arent taught boundaries. These kids love their teachers and have never been afraid of them. Its insulting to make such a statement considering Ive seen how hard they work. I love Busy Bees!

My Daughter attended Busy Bees after having a long list of problems with her previous daycare. I went from having my daughter running/crying to me when I went to pick her up to me chasing her around the classroom because she didnt want to leave.Mrs. Javinder was very understanding of my distrust of Day Cares after the multitude of problems with the previous facility.I will say, my daughter bloomed at Busy Bees, and I would suggest the facility to anyone who ask.

Love this place, my lil man went there from 8months till 5 years & this was not his 1st school, this is where he earned his nickname guapo. Hes prepared for kindergarten & now my lil lady is getting ready to start. We moved from Boca but are choosing to make the 20+ mile trip from lake Worth because theres no substitute for peace of mind. Mrs. Harvinder is great, but Ms. Maria is the real prize in that place. Theyve worked with us when the chips were down, always kind, always respectful. Incredible staff. Also, most of the staff has been there for years which is also a testament. I 2nd what another reviewer said, you wont find another place like this in boca

My daughter graduated BusyBees and went into Del Prados gifted program with ease. The work was easy for her. BusyBees prepared her extremely well. My son is still attending this school and is head and shoulders above the average 3 year old. The staff is absolutely amazing. They actually care about you. I was put on bed rest while pregnant with my 3rd child. The staff called to check on me, one of their teachers picked my daughter up for school and dropped her home since I couldnt get up. The owner of the school also worked with me due to my financial issues of not being able to work at the time bc of the complicated pregnancy. These people are amazing. You wont find anything else like this in Boca.

My two boys have been out of Busy Bees for a few years now. One is in 4th grade and the other is in 2nd. I loved the experience at Busy Bees. The environment was warm and loving. The education was fantastic!!! My sons both had speech impairment and it was the school who told us about therapy offered by the Palm Beach Public School System. This is just one of the many ways Harvinder and the teachers go the extra mile for their students.Both boys were reading, writing and doing math at levels much higher than required to be successful. Busy Bees provides a wonderful and strong foundation for kids - both academically and socially. I still drive by the school and think how lucky we were to find Harvinder and her staff.We had checked out multiple schools. When I walked into Busy Bees I knew this was the place for my kids. I never worried about them. I always knew they were in a safe and loving environment.Thank you Busy Bees for providing such a great foundation!!! We miss you. The boys are doing well both academically and socially.I know Scott has posted a few reviews, but after spending Friday volunteering at a daycare via my companys outreach program, I felt compelled to write this one.Sincerely,Suzan Ekmekci McGrath
