Learn the "Why" behind Busy Bees Early Childhood Learning
In this episode, Joanne shares how she built Busy Bees from the ground up with the support of Flagstaff County’s Entrepreneur Empowerment and Mastermind programs, overcoming business fears like pricing and structure while staying rooted in her true passion: helping kids thrive through play. She explains the deep value of play-based learning, the science behind songs and nursery rhymes, and the magic of watching a child light up when “Joanne said…” becomes part of their everyday vocabulary. Her vision? To bring Busy Bees across Canada—from farming communities in Alberta to living rooms in Newfoundland—and to help families everywhere feel connected, supported, and ready for kindergarten. Joanne’s warmth is contagious, her sessions are packed with meaning, and her mission is clear: bloom where you’re planted, and help kids grow—one song, story, and pair of scissors at a time.
