I am confident you will not find another unique, nurturing, aesthetically pleasing, warm, and loving environment such as Busy Bodies Playhouse. We have taken the time to nurture every detail of our environment and program offerings to ensure a well rounded, high quality educational experience for both the parent and the child. It is my goal to knit our little community into a place that provides education, friendship and resources to both the child and the parent. I truly believe that school should feel like an extension of home for each child to learn and grow in."
