Our Story — The Heart Behind Busy Little Bees Asheville

Busy  Little Bees was founded in 2006 in San Francisco, California, by  Cynthia R Quezada Owings, a devoted mother who wanted more than just childcare  she wanted a place where children could grow in love, health, and  curiosity.

When  Cynthia had her first child, she faced the same challenge many working  parents do: finding care that truly nurtured both the heart and the  mind. Determined to give her son the best start in life, she made a  life-changing decision she left her corporate job and opened her own  daycare.

What  began as a mother’s mission quickly became a lifelong calling. Over the  past 20 years, Cynthia and her family — including her son Nicholas,  daughter Isabella, and youngest, Gianna have grown together through  this journey. Today, with two children in college and one thriving in  middle school in Asheville, North Carolina, Busy Little Bees continues  to reflect the same love and dedication that started it all.

At  Busy Little Bees Asheville, Cynthia understands the heart of every  parent especially professional parents searching for a safe, healthy,  and nurturing environment for their children. Her mission remains the  same:

To  provide the highest quality of care, to build a strong foundation for  each child’s growth, and to help them become confident, compassionate  individuals who will shape the future.

Because at Busy Little Bees, we don’t just care for children we help them blossom.
