Administration is great, the educators are friendly, attentive and caring, and the space is clean and inviting. I'm also impressed by the activities and meals provided to the little ones. The regular updates are fantastic as well, I couldn't ask for a better place to care for my son!

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees Smithfield Plains or over two years now, and I honestly can’t imagine a better place for her. From day one, the staff has been warm, caring, and so invested in her growth. It’s clear they truly love what they do, and that makes all the difference. Every day, she comes home excited to tell us about the new things she’s learned—whether it’s a fun song, a creative craft, or a new friendship she’s made. The teachers do an incredible job balancing learning and play, and it’s amazing to see how much she’s thriving. What I love most is how much thought and care goes into everything they do. The communication with parents is great, and I always feel reassured knowing she’s in such a safe, nurturing environment. The center is always clean and well-organized, and I love how engaged the staff is with every child. STAFF HERE IS THE BEST!!!!! After two years, we still feel just as lucky to have found Busy Bees as we did on day one. It’s been such a wonderful place for our daughter, and we’re so grateful for the amazing team that has helped shape her early years. Highly recommended!!!!
