As an early intervention specialist and evaluator in Southern Ocean County, Marcella Lippman was getting feedback that the area needed an outpatient physical/occupational therapy center geared to children.

That was the impetus for her establishing Busy Bees Kid’s Therapy. The first facility opened in Tuckerton in 2019 and a second one held a grand opening Nov. 1 at 100 McKinley Ave. in Manahawkin at the former site of Bacharach Physical Therapy Center.

Services include speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy and feeding therapy.
