    I would not recommend this daycare. My two year old daughter did not have a good experience. The staff seems a bit immature and untrained.. I agree with the other recent reviews, the children don't seem to be supervised well. My daughter rarely came home with artwork, pictures were rarely sent. She got bit and hit constantly. Whenever parents bring up and issue, the staff is defensive and condescending. Unfortunately, our overall experience was disappointing, and I would not feel comfortable recommending Busy Bees to other parents.

    Please remove my Picture from this site as I have not been there since July 15th, 2025. I have reached out to HR several times to have the new Director Katie Hampton update her info so that her picture and information may be provided as she has been the new Director since July. It is absolutely unacceptable that this is just another lack of transparency at the Glendale site. Thank you

    I had my son enrolled in this daycare and experienced several serious issues after Katie took over. A staff member intentionally threw my son onto a cot, leaving a visible bruise and mark on his forehead that lasted for over two weeks. My son mentioned the incident every time we went to the daycare. When I confronted Kate about it, she tried to cover it up, claiming the teacher “accidentally dropped him.” However, after I requested video footage, it was clear she had not been truthful. The staff member responsible was even allowed to return to work the very next day. After I expressed my concerns and disappointment with how the situation was handled, the daycare began retaliating against my child for example, refusing to give him juice even though he has a doctor’s note stating he needs it. Katie first claimed they “lost” the note, then later insisted I needed additional paperwork from the doctor after I gave them the new doctor note. There is currently an open state investigation into this daycare, and I’ve learned there are multiple other complaints besides mine. I would strongly caution other parents to look into these issues before enrolling their children here.

    As a parent, I expected a safe, respectful, and professional environment for both children and families — unfortunately, this daycare has been the opposite. The director’s behavior is very concerning. I’ve personally witnessed her speak to parents of different ethnic backgrounds in a condescending or “dumbed down” way, even when it’s clear they understand English perfectly well. It’s disrespectful and uncomfortable to watch. The classrooms are often out of ratio, which raises serious safety and supervision concerns. It’s not fair to the children or the teachers who are stretched too thin. On top of that, there’s obvious favoritism in the workplace — certain staff are treated much better than others, which affects morale and the quality of care overall. I truly wanted to love this daycare, but the lack of professionalism, uneven treatment, and disregard for proper staffing have made it impossible to recommend. Families deserve better leadership and respect.

    I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. The moment you walk in, the staff are too busy gossiping to even acknowledge you. The children are clearly not being supervised — I witnessed kids hitting and pushing each other while the teachers paid no attention at all. It’s heartbreaking to see such a lack of care and professionalism in a place that’s supposed to be safe for children. Don’t even waste your time scheduling a tour of this facility. There are far better options out there where your child will actually be cared for and watched.
