The Busy Bee Activity Center

We did day camp and I was not impressed with the teacher at all. In fact, I hope my three year old wasn't traumatized. The kids were belittled ("did you really just sit down and pee your pants?"), punished ("there will be no movie tomorrow because you didn't earn it with good behavior", wtf it's camp!), yelled at and she truly seemed to loathe the existence of the children in her presence. A saw a small child around 3 yrs, crying at drop off and she did nothing to soothe him or help him adjust, just ignored him. Why is it that this woman has no help? Is this even legal? Seems like way too many kids for one disgruntled person to manage. I will never send my child back here. Highly concerning behavior from the teacher. Pretty annoyed I spent money on this experience. Also weird that they advertise two snacks but I witnessed her deny kids snacks saying YOU STILL HAVE FOOD IN YOUR LUNCH. Just give them all a snack. Unreal. Not a good camp for three year olds as their needs exceed what the teacher is able to provide.

I wouldn't recommend this center for kids under 2. No one was rude, everything was clean, on the whole the experience was just ok. I took my daughter to the littlest class six months ago and I don't think the price is worth it for what we got. For starters, the woman who ran the class didn't seem to know much about toddlers. Most of the kids were 15months old and the first thing she did was ask them what their favorite animal was. She actually waited for them to respond... This and a few other things indicated to me that they added on a toddler class for the extra cash but they didn't have experience with the age group. Another thing is that my daughter wasn't always interested in doing the things the kids were instructed to do. (Which wasnt much). She's a runner and there wasn't much space to run. She also likes doors so she wanted to run to the front door and open and close it. She wasn't crying or distressed, she was just curious! The woman running it asked me THREE separate times in the same class "is she okay?" in a very concerned tone. I kept saying yes, she's fine, she's just exploring. Again, this demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of toddlers in general. We switched to Ruby's Tumbling which was much better suited for her age. It's more spacious and the instructor is more familiar with the age differences in kids. I think this center is perfectly fine in a lot of ways and I can't speak to its quality for older kids. I just can't recommend it for the littlest ones.

A gem in the bay! Busy Bee has been our go-to spot for a few years now. Our kiddo was enrolled in a preschool, now TK - but there are so many teachers in-service days and holidays where his school is closed. We are 2 working parents so having a place to turn for support like Busy Bee is a must. The staff are friendly, caring, and thoughtful. Kids have room to be themselves and have fun, and their days always have fun activities sprinkled in with flexible/free play time. It's also extra great for rainy days, as they have a great indoor setup for little kids to go wild and get their crazies out instead of being cooped up on the long cold winter rains! Our kiddo loves the mixed age environment, we love the reliability, price, quality and peace of mind. They're highly responsive anytime I call, text, or email. We're so grateful to have a place like this in the bay!

False advertising, they put schedule for open drop it at 9:30-12:30 staff never show up to open there is a sign open but door is lock and light is off as well Don't waste your gas to come and find out they close

My 3 year old spent two weeks here during his daycare summer break and he had a great time. The supervisors all seemed very caring and gave us good updates on how we was doing. After a couple days he was so excited each morning to keep going and kept asking to go over the weekend he had so much fun.

Had the best experience! During this past weekend, we rented the center to celebrate my daughter'a birthday party! We had 20 + kids and equally the same amount of adults and we were able to fit comfortably.In other photos it does not show how spacious this location is. The studio space and play space are separated by a wall with a look-in window which is amazing to peep in and watch the kids play if needed. Booking this location was easy you go on their website and I believe the owner Anna will coordinate it all with you, which is helpful. She informed me that they provide (6) 4ft tables and seating stools (FOR KIDS! So they're tiny and short) which ended up very useful for our event.Day of the party, there were two women that help manage the party and LET ME SAY THEY ARE AMAZING!! Boomy and her daughter were the highlight of this location. They were super nice, helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful party. I can't emphasize HOW MUCH I TRULY APPRECIATED her and her daughter for being there and making this such a memorable experience. I will be back again many more times just because this was truly the best experience I've had!

This post is long overdue! We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday, and it was an absolute success! Highly recommend this venue - spacious, clean area, accessible bathroom, and you get the whole place to yourself. It was so fulfilling seeing parents chatting and kids having fun around friends and family.

We regularly drop our son off here during school holidays and he always has a fantastic time and looks forward to coming back.

This is a great place to host birthday parties. It's one of the few places that allows you to rent out an entire place for a few hours of fun, a play area to burn off young kid energy, and a separate room for hosting and creativity to decorate for birthday parties. It's reasonably priced and Anna and her staff are wonderful. They help with decorating and cleanup. I've done two birthday parties here so far and I'm gonna be sad when my child ages out. I would recommend bringing a few extra folding chairs to any party so that the parents can sit.

We celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday here. All the kiddos had lots of fun with all the different toys, ball pit and climbing the wall.
