Parent Testimonials
“We joined Busy Bees in fall of 2020, mid-pandemic frenzy, and have been so pleased with the care the staff have taken to keep our children healthy and happy while at daycare! While the limitations caused by the pandemic have strained parent-school partnerships (everywhere), we appreciate the communication, warm greetings, and photos/art that are shared with us. Maricela and her staff are very warm and professional.”
“As parents new to drop-off childcare and new to the Mount Prospect neighborhood, we were nervous about choosing the best care for our young toddler. There are plenty of options for childcare around (mostly franchises), but Maricela’s formal background in childcare development, prompt communication, and transparent policies led us to Busy Bees. Additionally, Busy Bees is very protective of their children’s health by keeping germs away and screening. Our child is super happy at drop-off and pickup, and she is thriving.”
