Dear Parent,

It was a great relief to find Michelle to care for my 3 year old daughter. She offers the highest quality of care I have found since becoming a parent 6 years ago - and I have been through several providers! One only has to take a quick tour of her space to see that Michelle is committed not only to keeping the children safe, but also stimulated.  It seems like everyday when I walk in the gate there are new and interesting projects taking shape in the house and yard. I especially appreciate that Michelle offers natural materials for the kids to use their imagination with. The variety of activities available to the kids means that my older son often asks if he can stay too!

In addition to setting up an environment that balances routine and structure with creativity and exploration, Michelle is extremely thoughtful about each child. She notices things about my daughter’s unique personality that I thought only I noticed and appreciated. Not only that, but she uses that information to help set up her day care in a way that meets each child’s needs.

Lastly, as a working, single mother, I so appreciate the consistent and reliable child care that Michelle provides. My “child care crises” have been eliminated and I leave my little one each day knowing that she will receive the highest quality of loving care.

"My children never complain in the morning about being dropped off, and I joke with Michelle that they treat me like 'chopped liver' when I leave because they are immediately engaged in their environment"
-Kristin M.

"I have never had this feeling before, I've never felt so comfortable with a place she's been." -

"Michelle is very reliable, we always have enough communication in advance if she will be closed for holidays, or has made arrangements to be away from home for a class. Only one time in two years have we had to make arrangements for our daughter to be somewhere other than Busy Bee. I would recommend Busy Bee to any prospective parents looking for a small, well-run home daycare setting."
-Theresa K.
