Busy Bee Preschool

Day Care

I have been working in childcare since 2000. I opened my business in order to stay home with my first child. Over the years, I've sought out much continuing education in the field. I received my Child Development Associate in 2003, and in 2011 achieved a step 10 in the Oregon Registry. I have a passion for creating a beautiful, child-centered place for the children who spend their days with me. I am constantly seeking out new inspiration and knowledge. In 2011, my program will be completing the process of becoming an "Oregon Program of Quality", an exciting new state program that offers child care centers and homes an opportunity to prove their program aligns with a stringent set of standards.

    Michelle, Mattie and other teachers at Busy Bee foster play, love and laughter in a group of kids as they learn to be compassionate, generous and smart humans. We felt supported and encouraged and have found no other place that can measure up.

    Our daughter just started a week ago today. And we can see already that she's happier, and more engaged. The teachers are warm and welcoming and treat the children with respect and kindness and love. We made a great choice in making our kid a Busy Bee kid!

    Beautiful, carefully and thoughtfully prepared environment designed exclusively for children to explore the world around them... with equally amazing adults guiding the days. I couldn't have wished a better place for my son to spend his time.

    My partner and I have been so pleased with Busy Bee! Michelle and her staff are wonderful with children. What mainly drew us to this place, we love how much outdoor time the children get. Our thoughts: kids spend the rest of their school lives in a classroom. Right now is the time to have fun. ...

    My daughter has been going to Bee Bop's ever since she was three months old. When the Busy Bees location opened she was one of the first ones to transfer over with a few of her friends that were the same age. It is such a fantastic place. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor space. I love the kitchen with the tables and chairs for the kids to eat their breakfast and lunch and do projects. There are two playrooms with different corners for reading, playing with blocks, dress up. And the fenced outdoor yard is great for running around, playing with mud etc. She always comes home with the best stories about her day.
