This Daycare is superb. My favorite part is not even the fact that the kids have various classes structured as a play; or that they go to professional swimming classes; or homemade food; or playing outside most of the day. I really enjoy that my child thinks of this place as a family. The teachers established an amazing balance of safety and independence for kids; and my 3 year old feels empowered to make her own choices and build relationships. She is not an easy child, but unconditionally accepted and loved there. The only complaint I get from my daughter is that I didn’t let her stay till the last child is picked up

As a working family, leaving our daughter in a childcare was one of the hardest things we had to do. I am pretty sure every parent will understand me. But thanks to Busy Bee! we felt safe leaving my child in place where she’s in the hands of caring professionals! I would definitely recommend it to everyone who’s still looking for a great kindergarten!

My daughter has been going to Busy bee for more than 2 years and always with pleasure. Elena, the director, and her staff treat children with such care and compassion, that even on the first day of drop off, everything went smooth, easy and without drama. The whole atmosphere is warm and loving. Being Russian myself, I wanted to find a daycare taht offered a Russian as the main language and my daughter now speaks fluent Russian. And moreover, she loves to speak Russian because she loves her daycare. I also really like that this place offers swimming, gymnastics, and a field on Fridays. She only needs to go to one place to get all these activities. I highly recommend this daycare. It is worth it.

We cant imagine our life without this wonderful daycare. Our son has been going to Busy Bee for a year since he was 1.5 years old. We think at this stage of development its extremely important what kind of social environment and behavior a child gets and learns. The pedagogical methods, which Elena (the owner of Busy Bee) uses every day completely match the way we think kids should be raised. Also she is very professional on choosing and managing other people who work at the daycare. To our opinion, our son gets a perfect combination of physical, intellectual and artistic activities. He loves friends he met there. We couldnt be happier and dont need to look for the alternative. Svetlana and Roman

I cannot imagine a better daycare. My son went here for four years. He started out being youngest by far and left when he was the oldest. They taught him to count and read and write Russian and a little bit of English. They have various lessons and play outside as much as possible and go on trips on Fridays. Lena is amazing, shes tough and kind and patient and fair. They cook real food for the kids at every meal and kids get plenty of fruits and veggies. If I end up with any more kids, they are going there.Note: This is a Russian daycare. Their primary language is Russian and most of the kids that go there have at least one Russian parent.

Attending this daycare has been like an all-inclusive resort for us. Our little one is provided with meals, entertainment, field trips, numerous classes (including swimming) and at the end of the day begs us not to go home and play a little more. We’ve been very happy with Busy Bee and a little bit sad our child has grown and have to leave, but shes been prepared for new exciting achievements!

We had such a good experience with Busy Bee! The best thing we liked that busy bee has swimming classes with professional instuctors. I havent seen a kindergarten in Seattle that has that!

Both of my kids went to this day care. Whenever I asked them whether they want to go to the day care, the only answer that I got was yes. Often they ask to stay longer when we come to pick them up.

Nice child care. Low rating is unfair.

A wonderful home kindergarten. My daughter went to this garden, now my son is walking. The daughter is still bored and sometimes in the summer asks to go to the garden for a day. The kindergarten has a very pleasant atmosphere - children are busy and active all the time. Educators all the time study with children and talk to them. In the morning and in the evening there are classes with visiting teachers - music, swimming, gymnastics, speech therapist, Russian and English, or creativity. On Fridays, children are taken out on excursions to parks, zoos, museums, farms ... Homemade meals. In the courtyard of the garden there is a large playground and a gymnastic structure under a canopy in case of rain, there are many toys and bicycles. Children walk 2 times every day. The main thing for me is that my son enjoys going to the garden every day.
