Bumble Bee Academy — Daycare & Preschool in Toronto, Ontario

What parents say

• Melissa Hong

  Bumble bee academy exceeds expectations at every level. The staff is super reliable in communication. They answer our questions immediately and thoroughly; while keeping us parents informed on every detail and especially throughout the changing pandemic regulations. The educators are super warm, attentive and genuinely care about your child. They make everyone feel special and taken care of. This is evident in the photos we see via the HiMama app, the birthday and holiday celebrations and the special books and drawings they get for my child because they know he loves sheep. During the pandemic, we felt safe under BBA’s care and leadership. They handled every case with care and ensured to clean the space thoroughly and with hepa filter air purifiers. They handled each case with care and took precautions to keep everyone as safe as possible. We’d recommend BBA to anyone and couldn’t be more grateful to have chosen them to take care of our child.

  Hard to begin in words what BBA has meant for our family- it is a second home to our first son who has the MOST incredible teachers. Caring, energetic and extremely engaging to whatever the kids are interested in- great communication to parents and provide a fantastic mix of outdoor play and indoor structure. Our son has absolutely flourished in their care. Our second son has just begun care at BBA and will have one of the same teachers our first son has which leads to the quality of the center. We are beyond grateful for this tight knit, community feel of a daycare. Monica and Krista run a well organized, informative, structured daycare that we are so fortunate to be a part of.

  My family has loved our experience at Bumblebee with one child now having moved on into JK being extremely well prepared for the new environment, structure and good basic understanding of alphabet, numbers, days of week/months all because of the care and hard work the staff provide. Our second child who just moved from the toddler program to the preschool program, has transitioned very well again because of the level of care the teachers provide and they anticipated all she would need in order to thrive in her new environment. The facility is beautiful, light, clean and with numerous stations for children to explore. Truly cannot say enough great things about both the space and the staff. One of the best parenting decisions we ever made was sending our kiddos here!

  Our daughter started at Bumble Bee in January 2022 and she loves it. She is well taken care of, the food menu is amazing, and the activities and socialization are helping her develop and an amazing rate. The staff is kind and caring and they give us several updates throughout the day on what our daughter is up to. During these strange times they are very careful in regards to COVID protocols and doing everything they can to keep the staff and students healthy. Thank you so much for you hard work! Tim

  Bumble Bee Academy is a wonderful daycare with excellent teachers, fun & diverse programming and healthy meals. Our daughter has been at BBA since September 2020 and has enjoyed every day! She's always excited to go to preschool and has lots of stories (artwork and songs) to share when we pick her up. I love that the kids get a good amount of outdoor time with walks around the neighbourhood, park and beach! The space is CLEAN, bright and engaging. They have HEPA filters running daily to ensure clean air for the children. The Director and Program Supervisor do an excellent job of communicating changes, updates, etc with parents, especially during COVID times when policies are changing weekly. Overall we can't recommend BBA more! We're so glad our daughter goes here and excited to send her little sister in the summer.
