Where Little Bees Become Big Thinkers
Welcome to Busy Bees Preschool Center
At Busy Bees Preschool Center, we take pride in providing the highest quality childcare program in Fitchburg, MA, and Worcester County.
We believe that children individually progress through stages of development in the domains of physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth. This growth is fostered through the nurturing of meaningful relationships between children and their families and trained caregivers and through collaborative program design of concrete, meaningful, and relevant experiences and activities for young children. With an open-door policy, we proudly celebrate diversity, with representation from 12 different countries. Contact us today to see what all the buzz is about!

About Us
Since 1975, Busy Bees Preschool Center has been a premier childcare provider to families in Fitchburg and the surrounding communities. Our journey began when we converted a historic nightclub into a childcare facility, offering exclusive partial-day programming until 1990. In 2011, we added an infant and toddler classroom, responding to the ever-changing childcare needs of our families. Today, we offer full-day care for children from three months to five years old.
Our Systems
We prioritize a collaborative and working relationship with parents and keep them informed about their child’s growth and progress through Tadpoles. This is an online assessment system that easily gathers and organizes information uploaded by our teachers to communicate with parents throughout the day.

Our Curriculum
Our certified teachers use the latest research in child development to offer current practices in early education. The MA Infant/Toddler Curriculum Guidelines, MA Guidelines of Preschool Learning Experiences, and Highscope Child Observation Record support development of curriculum that addresses the unique needs of each child. Our curriculum does just that while following a dual teaching approach that exposes children to both English and Spanish languages.
