Buzy Body

"not good at teaching dance, and staff is not super nice."

"We have LOVED our experience with Buzy Bees!! My kids have amazing teachers that work so hard to teach them! My kids learn, play, and enjoy every minute. Their teachers are AMAZING and they truly love pouring into each and every child! Highly recommend!"

"Buzy Body - 2.5 or 3 stars Summary: Okay for families who are looking for a childcare option that keeps their kids active. Not great if you’re looking for something heavier on the learning/education side. PROS: -Has a one stop shop feel with several add-on options like dance and tumbling -Gym with trampolines was a kid favorite CONS: -Only one teacher per class room -Lacking in learning & education for pre-K -Year long commitment -Somewhat unwilling to work with each individual family/child (see personal experience below) Personal Experience: I have two daughters who started at Buzy Bees mid-year due to a family move. After 4 weeks (two of which were partial weeks), my wife got a call saying that my youngest daughter couldn’t come back because she cried too much. She was in the young 2s class and admittedly has some separation anxiety and is by nature a more reserved child. However, seemingly no effort was made on the program side to help her adjust to her new environment. Although she had been in a previous program, we did not expect her to adjust to a new class, new routine, new teacher, and new environment in a matter of weeks - especially at her age. My wife and I were very surprised when she got the call saying she could no longer return after only 6 classes. I found out later that part of the issue was there were 6-7 kids and only one teacher. With no warning of my daughter’s suspension, my wife who works during their school times, had to scramble to find a new solution for childcare. Our oldest daughter (who turned 5 during the semester) stayed in the program for another month or two. She is very outgoing, enjoys learning and has always looked forward to the mother’s day out programs she’s attended. After a bit of time passed at Buzy Bees, however, she began to complain about going to school. We kept her in for another month to see if it was just the new environment or if there were some issues with her peers. But what we discovered, at the end of the day, is that she was bored. There wasn’t enough structured time of learning and activity to keep her interest. I got the impression that most of the day was free play. For the cost and commitment that Buzy Bees requires, I was disappointed to find this out. In addition, there were several peer conversations she talked about at home that made me think the teacher (again, only one for the class) was not supervising very closely. Nothing crazy, but enough to make me ask “And where was your teacher while you were talking about this?” We eventually pulled her out too (and was reminded of the year-long commitment when we tried initially but since they suspended our youngest they “made an exception”). Our oldest daughter stayed in the dance class for the rest of the semester. Overall we had a good experience with it and enjoyed the dance program. However, we probably wouldn’t do it again due to the cost for a once a week 45 minute class."

"We love Buzy Body! The only place other than family where I do not worry about my girls. Mrs. Jenny is amazing! My daughter is basically reading from being in her class two days a week. I can’t speak more highly of the rest of the staff. Mrs. Vicki, Mrs. Amy, Mrs. Allison, and Ms. Becca are the most loving people and love my girls as they are there own. Rona, the owner, is an amazing human being as well! We did not know anyone when we moved to Sanger and Buzy Body has treated us like family and made us feel at home!"
