Established in 1975

Busy Bees Preschool Center is a child care facility for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are in need of full or (limited) partial- day programs. As a hive of learning, we emphasize the importance of developing a diverse skill-set in our students. We incorporate second-language learning into our curriculum. Our uniquely-designed classrooms, both indoors and out, ensure each child is immersed in a rich learning environment.

Our long history of quality child care began in 1975. A historic nightclub in Fitchburg was converted into a childcare facility, offering exclusive partial-day programming until 1990. In 2011, an infant and toddler classroom was added, ever-evolving in response to the changing childcare needs in Fitchburg and surrounding communities. We value a cooperative, working relationship with our parents. Our teachers upload information into Brightwheels, which gathers and organizes data on your child into an easily accessible online assessment system for families.
