We are extremely grateful for the care and instruction you have provided to both of our children since 2007. Rowan was so ready to begin elementary school after your program and I have every reason to believe that Levi will be just as successful in his future school years due to his preparation with you.
Kevin and I, Rowan and Levi are leaving Busy Bee with wonderful memories of special friends, of art, reading, writing and playing. In particular, we were always thrilled to have you share your love of music, culture and languages with our boys. Your French program is one of the reasons the boys are now in French Immersion. Christmas will not be the same without your amazing concerts with the nativity play, carol singing and Santa visits.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your kindness, patience and understanding over the last 4 years. It’s hard to believe it has already been 4 years since Brooklyn’s first day at Busy Bee. You and Maryam have taught Brooklyn so many wonderful skills including art, French, counting, reading – the list goes on and on!

It is difficult to truly convey the deep appreciation we feel for the wonderful gifts, time and love you have shared and given to Brielle. You have both been instrumental in raising and teaching our precious daughter. You have a deep passion for caring and nurturing children and a true gift for developing the minds of the next generation. With your help and guidance, Brielle has flourished and is a beautiful, compassionate, and loving girl of whom we are very proud. She came into your home before she could walk; she graduates from your care with a thirst for knowledge and excellent skills in mathematics, English, art, and music. Brielle is gaining strong knowledge of the French Language, understands etiquette, and has wonderful manners. Perhaps most importantly, you have taught her to share with and treat others. You have been her extended family and have provided a safe, loving home to our Brielle and her little brother, Rylan. For this great gift, we are eternally grateful.
Brielle has made many friends and happy memories at Busy Bees. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas concerts every year, into which you put so much passion and energy. You have given her so much joy; so many parties and laughs; all of the games and songs. Brielle has had a wonderful childhood and a fantastic start to her young life. Thank you for your roles in this. You have given us peace of mind, confident in the knowledge that our priceless daughter was well taken care of, and most of all loved. We thank you for this. Brielle thanks you for this.
