We love and highly recommend Bee Happy Family Daycare to anyone looking for a wonderful daycare provider. We have been using their services for a couple of months, and we have been nothing but impressed with the care and attention that our child has received.

Due to work changes, we had to transition our baby from being home with us to attending daycare. Of course, we were scared, nervous and worried but Brenda had a lot of patience and prepared us for a smooth transition. She is incredibly kind, caring, and nurturing with our baby. She truly loves working with children, and it shows in the way she interacts with them. After a few weeks at Bee Happy Family Daycare, my child was already looking forward to going to daycare. She was excited to see Brenda and the other kids. You could immediately feel the connection all the children had with Brenda. As new, working parents, this put our minds at peace and we felt like our baby was in good hands.

In addition to excellent care, Brenda also offers a variety of activities that are designed to help children learn and grow. Our baby has learned so much at daycare, both developmentally and socially and we can see this by smaller actions like self-eating and social play time. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have her enrolled here.

If you are looking for a daycare provider that you can trust, we highly recommend Bee Happy Family Daycare. You will not be disappointed!

Our son has been at Bee Happy since he was 4 months old. He's almost 2. It has been a huge relief having someone we could depend on like Brenda. He is in such a good environment with such great kids. He was the youngest baby when we first enrolled him, and it was benefited him hugely. He absorbs so much from the older kids and has learned to be patient/careful with the younger kids. The dynamic between all the kids is just fantastic. Brenda's an excellent teacher; my son speaks a lot of English despite his age AND knows a lot of Spanish. It's fantastic to see. Brenda also babysits Artie sometimes on weekends, and if she's busy, her mom will babysit him. Brenda's also helped us out in cases of emergency. I honestly consider her to be an important part of our family!

Not sure if our daycare is going to have openings but I figure it can’t hurt for you to reach out. It’s called Bee Happy Family Daycare. It’s on Harrison Street near 29th Street  I found it through BPN and my son has been attending for 5 months now and he loves it. 

When my husband and I first met Brenda, we were immediately struck by how thoughtful and passionate she was about child care.  We had been interviewing other day cares and left Brenda's knowing this was the right spot for us!  We have loved having Brenda care for our daughter and would move Brenda with us to our new city if we could!  Brenda provides a an environment that is welcoming, nurturing, and stimulates our daughter's intellectual curiosity.  It was also immediately clear that she deeply cares for our daughter as an individual.  We can't recommend Brenda enough and are very sad to be moving away from her daycare!!
