Bumble Bee Christian Learning Center

THE ABSOLUTE BEST PRESCHOOL!!! No words can describe how great bumble Bee Preschool is. As a parent, being the first time putting my 2 kids in childcare, the staff was very welcoming and were always very kind and warming towards the kids. The director Ms. Maria and the owner Ernie take very good care of the kids and keep the preschool looking very clean and organize, which is a huge plus in my books!
With all honestly, one of the best things was that every week they were learning something new. My husband and I were so amazed at the growth in their learning, that we knew we had made a good choice in choosing Bumble Bee.

My wife have visited the preschools in the surrounding area before we choose it for our first and 2^nd child. In the surrounding day care, its either all Korean speaking or the staff seems lack of interest in the child. You can see by the attentiveness of the teachers. (one facility she visited one of the teachers eyes are on the smart phone not the kids). The facility is very clean and cleaned on a daily basis. Mr. Ernie is there mopping up and wiping down things every day. They also have an annual cleaning and teacher training for the child. The facility is very comprehensive in activity and curriculum. Ms Maria is very on top of every thing and both the kids are potty trained in less than 3 month, The comment Shelli states is spot on or else I would not have let my 2^nd child attend the school. Keep up the good work Bumble Bee.

Hands down I LOVE BUMBLE BEE everyone there is amazing I have my little one there all day and my older one gets picked up after school
Everyone there is so welcoming I’ve been there for all most two years and both my girls love it I was very nervous when I first brought them since I had never had them in a day care my little one was two at the time yes she cried the first couple days but after she wakes up ready to go to school on my day off she will even say I have to go to school my oldest daughter was extremely shy but she also loved it instantly
And btw just because someone is wearing heels doesn’t mean anything she rocks those heels better then anyone I know heels and all still behind the kids

Dear Shelli B.,
Considering that Unilocal is an opinion based website, I think I am more than qualified/​entitled to have my opinion and write about my personal experience. As stated in my first review, it was based on my experience on that day. As for your statements in regards to «M», those are what you would call opinons, not facts. Just like me, you are making a judgement. based on what you see. You say she dresses «impeccably», I will still stand my opinion that she dressed ‘inappropriate for a preschool’. My review was soley based on my experience from when I toured the school. I spoke on my unbiased observations of the facility. The negatives along with the positives.
I did not speak on any of the teachers characters, work ethic or their interactions with students because I was not there long enough to make such observations. I never referred to Bumble Bee as a daycare center and I am glad to hear that there is a curriculum set in place to prepare your children for their next steps as I find that to be extremely important. This was not a personal attack on the facility.
My child has missed out on NOTHING. Like your daughter, my child attends a center with a Preschool setting. He has a warm, loving and caring teacher who instills learning, values and discipline everyday. We have made the choice that is best for our family and I’m sure you have done the same. I respect your opinions but the base of your response is just that. An opinion. (A passive aggressive one at that).
I wish your daughter well and may she continue to thrive.

My review is actually an email response to a Unilocal posting sent to L. H in Gardena.
L.H gave Bumble Bee 3 stars based on a judgment, a one time impression while she toured the school. So she really insn’t qualified to rate this wonderful and caring place where my daughter has grown so much over the past three years! In my humble opinion, she is missing out of the best opportunity possible for her family!
L.H. You don’t know me, but I am a parent at Bumble Bee Learning Center. I went onto Unilocal to add my review of how great I think Bumble Bee Learning Center is, when I read your review. I felt so strongly that I had to respond to a few things, which became the basis of my review.
You missed out. My daughter has been there for 3 years now, and even tho she has started kindergarten this year, we are keeping her in for another year because of the values that this facility has with our kids.
«M,» the office manager in the high heels, is wonderful with the children. She is strict, yet very caring and puts this school first. She stayed home on her vacation to cover a staff person who was ill because it was her job! She wasnt upset or at least none of us saw anything like it. She chocked it up to «things happen and the kids come first!»
I did ask her once, why do you dress impeccably? (not in tight clothing but beautiful, tasteful clothing; she is a stunning woman who feels good in the clothes she wears; even though she has prolly lost a few items in her closet from paint and markers as she participates as a back up Teacher/​Office Manager. «M» set up the curriculum for the various age levels. Our pre-​schoolers doing very easy homework to prep them for Kindy because she has a very high expectation of how Bumble Bee Learning Center actually teaches our kids, from potty training, to alphabet and printing, crafts, etc. She wants the best for our kids! They ARE a Learning Center not a day care.
My daughter just had her 5^th birthday party. Two of the teachers came with their kids along with ten other parents and children, who have become a family each morning at drop off or pick up.
Mr. Ernie himself picks up the kids every day. So on the first day of school, when one of the parents failed to tell the school she was picking up her child, he still managed to get all children in a timely manner, no child was left behind, or late, but he scrambled to find that one child.
In addition, he comes in every evening at 5pm and scrubs that facility spotless. from toilets to floors, to toys.
The teachers are incredible. And have their kids attend as well, with no special treatment. You can drive by and see the kids outside on circles, playing, doing crafts, singing, doing water play. They dont do it because it looks good for the neighbors. Our children are VERY well taken care of.
I hope that you found something that works for you, but honestly, I just wanted to let you know that your judgment, was just that. I wanted you to know that I am going to use this letter as my review, to dispute yours. I understand that you made the best choice for you. But I wanted you to understand how much you were off the mark, and that I am sorry you are missing out on such a wonderful opportunity for your child to grow and thrive in!

My kids absolutely love Bumble Bee Christian Learning Center!
My son started attending about 2 years ago and I was so pleasantly surprised at how quickly he adjusted to a new daycare. His teachers are so sweet and patient with all of the children. The school has such great outdoor play areas including a large grassy area, big sandbox with swings and lots of other features found on a playground. The way that the classrooms are set up is conducive to the different age groups. All of the rooms are bright with natural sunlight, colorful, and overall welcoming. My son is always in such a good mood when I pick him up at the end of the day and it makes my heart so happy to know that he’s having such a fantastic time during the day.
My daughter, who is 9, has also been intermittently attending Bumble Bee as a «Day Camper» during the summer and also on Holidays that she’s off from school. She is having the best time this summer with day trips to places like Knott’s Berry Farm, Downtown Disney, the beach, water parks, the movies, and so much more! Both of my kids love Pizza Friday!
During the school year, Bumble Bee provides the children with AM and PM snacks as well as lunch. There are monthly calendars available in the office with the daily meals as well as activities. I love knowing what my son is doing each day during the school year.
The owner, Ernie, is incredibly nice and on the premises everyday, which is comforting. The whole facility is being cleaned at the end of everyday by Ernie. He is so accommodating with special requests and last minute schedule changes for our family. I work full time and my husband is a nurse and is sometimes on call. It’s nice to know that we always have a caregiver available during the week should something come up on a day that the kids wouldn’t normally attend. This was a big positive for us when we were looking for a preschool for our son.
I am so happy that I found Bumble Bee Christian Learning Center for my kids and would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable, friendly, and caring environment for their children.
