We had a couple years of positive experiences but something has changed dramatically recently. I could detail my many minor frustrations with the lack of communication and what seems to be intentional deceit with moving students between classes without notifying parents, but I feel the two major incidents that caused us to leave will speak for themselves:
In the last week and a half my daughter was first directly given a known allergen by a staff member, causing an ER visit and extremely stressful day for my whole family. To be clear, this was not an accidental exposure - she was handed a cup

I took my niece there when she was aged 1-4 and she had a wonderful experience. She looked forward to coming daycare. She also learned a lot including some basic Spanish, which we were very impressed with. She teachers were so kind and caring. They respond quickly and we loved seeing what the school was up to on social media.

I gave 2 weeks notice that I would be keeping my child home for a few months. My decision came after multiple days closed for Covid, very short notice of shorting hours and a general concern for our family’s exposure. The director was defensive and threatened litigation almost immediately without even listening to my situation. I’m very willing to admit I’m aware that under normal circumstances they require 30 days notice. I was genuinely hoping that the same level of understanding they kept asking of us parents would be reciprocated. The staff in general seemed caring but maybe not the most

I have had nothing but positive experiences for the last two years at The Learning Bee. My oldest son started as an infant and now I have a toddler and infant enrolled. The owner, director, and all teachers care for my children as if they are their own. They bend over backwards to provide for them and are understanding of unique circumstances. I fully trust The Learning Bee team to care for the safety and welfare of my children especially during this pandemic. They are following the latest CDC guidelines and stress the importance of health to keep all safe and the facility operational. I owe everything

I have to share how absolutely phenomenal the pre-k teachers have been at The Learning Bee. We switched from another local preschool and daycare, and have been absolutely AMAZED and DELIGHTED with our experience. We have only been here for three months and our two daughters are absolutely thriving. Our four year old is absolutely soaring and thriving and has learned SO much with Ms. Darcy and Ms. Rhonda, and we could not be happier with their class!!! She went from crying incessantly every morning about having to go to school, to talking nonstop at home about her teachers and class and things she’s

I can't say enough about how wonderful The Learning Bee and its staff have been for us as parents and for our daughter. She started there at three months and is almost two years old now.
Every day, she surprises us with how much she's learned: letters, words (English, Spanish, and sign language), colors, animals- and she genuinely enjoys it. Sometimes, I have to work to entice her to leave!
As two working parents with often opposing schedules, the on site chef is a major convenience as it leaves one less thing for us to worry about. The staff is warm, patient, kind, fun, and engage

Our daughter has attended this school for two years, and absolutely loves it. She always talks about her teachers and the fun they've had in class, whether it's a learning activity, a game, or a book they've read. We've been impressed with the curriculum that she's been exposed to and the quality of the staff. It's obvious that the teachers truly care about their kids, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. We'll be sad when it's time for her to move on to kindergarten.

Our son has attended the Learning Bee for almost 2 years and it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the children, they provide healthy meals, and coordinate interesting and age appropriate activities for the kids. Our son comes home anxious to practice what he has learned. They are also very communicative. We always know what he did during the day and we receive pictures daily.

Where do I start. We had our daughter at The Learning Bee from 6 weeks to 10 months. We've had a myriad of difficulties from a "lost" cash payment that we were never reimbursed for, staff not prepared the first day we brought in our daughter (they apparently weren't notified she was coming), several instances where we had to hunt down someone in the morning so our daughter could be watched because both Infant rooms were empty, two occassions where staff went much too far is "diagnosing" our child instead of adhering to the recommendations of our pediatrician, and us
