Emily Hagdorn, Owner and Director
Hi, I am Miss Emily. I am the Owner and Director of Busy Little Bees, Preschool, and More. I received my Bachelor's Degree in sociology and psychology from Drew University. In my spare time, I love watching sports live or on TV. I am a dog mom to a very lucky English Bulldog and have learned all my patience from him! I enjoy spending time with my family and celebrating everything possible. I am looking forward to all the memories this school year will bring for our students and I am equally excited to work with an awesome staff that spares no expense for the greater good.
