Russian-American Child Care "Busy Bee"
What a wonderful time childhood is!
Perhaps this is the most important, happy and joyful time. The way we enter our adulthood depends on the way our childhood was, the things we learned, the people we encountered.

In our curriculum, we use the best methods from both Soviet and American educational systems not only to prepare kids for their upcoming school years, but to teach them to enjoy learning. We try our best to make the time kids spend at our "Busy Bee" child-care as memorable, happy and fun as it could possibly be.
