🌎 The Story of Jazzy and the Jitterbugs: Where Hearts Grow and Futures Begin
Jitterbugs began with a simple but powerful belief — that every child deserves to learn in a place that feels like home, where curiosity is nurtured, imagination is celebrated, and the joy of discovery is woven into each day.
From our roots in Cowichan Bay to our vibrant home in Cobble Hill, JitterbugsChildcare.ca has become more than a childcare center — it’s a living, breathing community of children, educators, and families learning and growing together. Each classroom is a world of wonder, designed to invite exploration through art, sensory play, science, music, movement, and nature. Here, play is not just play — it’s the foundation for lifelong learning.
But Jitterbugs’ story doesn’t end within our walls.
Through Jitterbugs.ca, we’re sharing our philosophy and practice with the world — creating opportunities for future educators to be inspired by the power of play, families to rediscover the magic of connection, and communities to build spaces where learning is alive and love leads the way.
Jitterbugs stands for something greater:
✨ A movement that believes education begins with empathy.
🌱 A commitment to raising confident, capable children through meaningful environments.
🌍 A vision to connect educators and families across communities — and across the globe — in the shared mission of nurturing hearts and minds.
Every song sung, every block stacked, every story read at Jitterbugs is part of something much larger — a ripple of change spreading from one small center to classrooms, communities, and countries around the world.
Because at Jitterbugs, we don’t just teach children —
we’re growing a world where learning begins with love.
At 🐝 Meet Miss Beesley – The Heart of the Jitterbugs Movement
🐝 The Story of Ms. Beesley
Meet Ms. Beesley, the gentle guardian of Jitterbugs — a bright, golden honey bee who believes that every child carries a spark of magic inside.
Each morning, she buzzes through the classrooms, her wings shimmering with kindness and curiosity. With every flutter, she spreads her Learning Dust — tiny bursts of joy, wonder, and courage that help children explore, imagine, and grow.
Ms. Beesley loves to watch little hands create, build, paint, and discover. She knows that through play, children learn about the world, about others, and about themselves. When kindness is shared, her heart glows; when curiosity blooms, her wings shine brighter.
As the day ends, she hums softly from her cozy hive and whispers,
“When you play, you learn. When you care, you grow. And together, we make our hive shine.”
That’s the spirit of Ms. Beesley — and the heart of the Jitterbugs Movement: learning through love, laughter, and the magic of play. 🌼Born from creativity, purpose, and a touch of entrepreneurial spirit, Miss Beesley began her journey as a symbol of innovation during a Dragons’ Den audition — representing strength, sweetness, and the power to rise above cravings.
Today, she’s found her new hive at Jitterbugs Child Care Inc., becoming the proud mascot of our movement and expansion.
Miss Beesley embodies everything Jitterbugs stands for — curiosity, community, and growth. Her vibrant wings represent imagination and freedom of learning, while her confident stance reminds us that education is about more than academics — it’s about empowerment, creativity, and heart.
As Jitterbugs expands into new programs, educator training, and family support initiatives, Miss Beesley leads the way as a visual symbol of positive change and transformation. She reminds families and educators alike that when we nurture children with love and intention, the entire community flourishes.
✨ From inspiring young learners to guiding new educators, Miss Beesley is more than a mascot —
"she’s the face of the Jitterbugs movement: bold, bright, and buzzing with purpose."
