Welcome to Busy Bees Adventures!
Using Santa Barbara’s beautiful parks and beaches as our classroom, we will go on daily adventures to explore, create, play, and learn using our natural surroundings.
Busy Bees Adventures is the place to be for preschool aged children where adventure and play inspires a love for our natural environment. To love something we have to know it, to know it we need to spend time with it.

Testimonials
I love Busy Bees Adventures because it has taught my daughter to enjoy playing with nature. Emma helps them create with the things they find in nature, go on walks, climb rocks and trees, and my daughter loves her friends. She gets practice sharing, taking turns, and being kind in a group setting. Her vocabulary has grown and her confidence as well. Rain or shine Emma knows how to take care of her bees.

Bottomline is- as a mom, I couldn’t ask for more. Our experience at Busy Bees has been a 10/10. Emma has a magical way with kids-they adore her, they feel safe with her, and they have fun with her. The energy she brings is fun and loving. I really feel her visions, ideas, personality, and genuine love for kids make it the great place that it it!!!

I highly recommend Busy Bees Adventures. My son gets so excited to tell me about his day when we look at pictures or videos Emma shares. Emma is very creative, attentive and fun. She uses gifts found in nature to teach and encourage creativity and my son is proud of all his masterpieces he brings home..plus all the physical activity and fresh air really is wonderful. He naps better and sleeps well at night.
