Busy Bee Daycare

"***UPDATE*** I would love to give a new review so I can give this center another five stars! Unfortunately, we will be leaving this center due to a relocation for work, but wanted to let the wider community know that if you are looking for a daycare that treats your child(ren) as their own, this is the place. My daughter came home happy EVERY single day. She was well cared for and I wish I could bring this entire staff with me where ever I go. I cannot say enough good things about Busy Bee Daycare. It was extremely difficult to find a center even comparable to this one, they are truly second to none. My daughter loves going to this daycare! Was nervous about my daughter going to daycare (She's my only child) but the staff eased my mind. They are so sweet to my child, taking very good care of her, giving me updates every day on how her day went. When I first looked at this daycare, I met all of the teachers, was given a thorough tour of each daycare section, including schedules, a tour of the kitchen to show the fresh ingredients they use for cooking each of the meals. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare!"

"Our 22-month-old son attended daycare at Busy Bee for over six months and loved it! Every day he was excited to go to school, and he never wanted to leave. Everyone on the staff is friendly, caring, and professional. It was truly a pleasure to be part of this community, I cannot recommend it enough!"

"We are incredibly grateful for the amazing year our son spent at Busy Bee. When my family and I arrived in this country from China over a year ago for my education, our son knew only a few English words like "pee," "poo," and "help." But after a year at Busy Bee, he's now fluent in English and has even picked up some Spanish. Children do indeed learn languages quickly, but what truly makes Busy Bee special is its warm and familial atmosphere. I particularly love their guiding principle, prominently displayed at the entrance, which reads: "Love is the most powerful educational tool we have." Ms. Roccio is a wonderful teacher who not only takes care of the kids but also provides us with valuable parenting insights when we're unsure about childcare at home. Ms. Marta, despite her youth, is incredibly patient and full of affection for the children. Among all the daycares our son has attended in Beijing, Chicago, and Arlington, Busy Bee is his favorite. To us, everyone at Busy Bee is family. Regardless of where our family's journey takes us next, Busy Bee will always be a comforting haven for us. This fantastic daycare in Arlington, VA, will forever hold a special place in our hearts."

"My son loved this place! The teachers here are so loving and taught my son how to be strong and how to love and care for others!! We had to leave busy bee due to work relocation to a different state and Busy Bee is that one place that we miss the most!"

"Busy Bee is a phenomenal child care center, with an inclusive, welcoming community environment. The academic curriculum is engaging and appropriate for each age level, and the teachers are kind and have been with the center for years. The director in one of the best educators in Virginia. Busy Bee is a true gem of a neighborhood school."
