About

Busy Bee is a licensed Day Care proudly serving the Eastern Shore communities of Nova Scotia for over 50+ years. 

Since 1960 Fran 'Mrs. Bee' Bellefontaine has been educating children. Fran received her education through the Nova Scotia Teacher's College, Dalhousie and Mount Saint Vincent Universities. From 1960 -1971 she went on to teach in several area schools. 

She established Busy Bee Nursery School in 1974, and built and opened Busy Bee Day Care Lake Echo in 1985. Porters Lake Busy Bee soon followed in 1989 with Busy Bee Lawrencetown opening in 1995.

Her love of children and teaching has been passed on to her extended family. 

Busy Bee Eastern Passage opened in 1998, directed by Fran's daughter and Busy Bee Musquodoboit opened in 2008 by her daughter-in-law.

Her son (Busy Bee Class of '75) and daughter-in-law, purchased the Busy Bee business in 2005.

Busy Bee has now spanned 3 generations of the 'Bee'llefontaine family.

We look forward to serving our community and providing excellent early childhood education for another 50 years.
