“This is a review of the toddler program (1st floor). Bumblebee has been a second home to our LO since he was 3 months old. When he was consistently down to one nap (15+mo) they transitioned him to the toddler floor which provided him more play and simulation for his stage of development. The lead teacher Miss Kira and fellow teachers have kept the toddlers stimulated with regular outdoor time, a variety of toys and play areas, consistent book / story time, and singing / dancing to songs. They also do a daily art or craft and the creativity astounds me…I wouldn’t have thought of these myself. They are also good at communicating via the Brightwheel app and most importantly for this age group, they help potty train! After one week back at “school” our LO very rarely had an accident - both there or with us at home”
“My family and I have been very happy with bumble bee. The main highlight is the care and warmth of the staff, which I think is the most important ingredient in care for young ones. They also allow for each kiddo to be on their own schedule, which has been positive for us”
“Bumble Bee provides a warm, caring, and supportive environment for infants and toddlers- highly recommend! It was truly our daughter s home away from home. She attended BB full-time - first in their infant room starting at 4 mos and then in the toddler program through 2.5 yrs (she only left for 3K). Eunice, the head of the program, is wonderful. She is accessible, helpful, always available for a phone call, and very hands-on, so she knows each child well. The staff in both the infant and toddler room are great. They supported our daughter (and us, as first-time parents!) through her many transitions (bottles to solids, crawling to walking, nap schedules etc). Our daughter was always excited to go to daycare, and was in good spirits at pickup”

Our daughter was always excited to go to daycare, and was in good spirits at pickup. Other things we appreciated: private and spacious outdoor space where they also do winter and summer activities (splash pad, picnics, etc), food provided/included in tuition once your child starts eating solids (the convenience of this is not to be underestimated...), very flexible in general, photos/videos/messaging easily accessible via Bright Wheels app. BB is a special place!”
“Eunice & team are so kind, calm, & on the ball. As a parent I always felt ease of mind at drop off. Our son absolutely loved going to daycare every day - his teachers Maya & Lisette were so engaged & dependable. It was a big plus that they have a backyard - so much time spent running outside. I'd recommend Bumble Bee to any parent.”
“This is a review of Bumblebee s infant program (run on the 2nd floor of their facility), which my little one has been in since he was 3-4 months old. This daycare is such a gem. The carers are very loving and attentive. They support my LO going through developmental leaps by giving lots of tummy time, playmat time, etc. so that he has army crawled, crawled, cruised, and started walking under their care. They work with our baby s existing habits to schedule feeds and naps. We communicate with them via the Brightwheel app, where they post updates re: naps, feeds, diapers, and photos in real time and we can give / get advice regarding sleep regressions, transitioning to solids, etc. Another bonus is the safe outdoor space and special activities planned around the seasons and holidays (summer wading pool, holiday finger paints sensory play, etc.). We also appreciated their flexibility in schedule as we have moved from part-time to full-time care with them”
“My daughter started going to Bumble Bee as an infant. The care givers were warm, supportive and I felt very confident leaving my baby with them for the day. She was also very happy to stay with her teachers. I received daily updates and photos. We stayed up until my daughter started 3K and would highly recommend this daycare.”
“My daughter has been going to Bumble Bee s infant program since she was 6 months. I visited the facility when I was expecting, and committed the deposit a month after she was born. The infant floor is kept clean and organized but a little dark. There s a room in the back with Pack n Plays for napping, a kitchen/feeding area with a high chair and loungers, and a foam-padded play area. There is outdoor space but infants are only occasionally taken outside when the weather is nice. Meals are provided to kids one year and older. The caretakers are very warm and gentle toward the babies. Parents get updates for feeding and diaper changes, occasionally pictures, through the Brightwheel app”
