The Heart Behind Little Busy Bee Preschool
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Jessica, the founder and teacher at Little Busy Bee Preschool. From the very beginning, my dream has been to create a place where children feel seen, heard, and valued, where their natural curiosity leads the way and learning feels like an adventure.
I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful connection, supported by intentional guidance. My approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which embraces creativity, hands-on discovery, and the power of nature in early learning.
At Little Busy Bee Preschool, children are encouraged to explore, create, and discover in a warm, nurturing environment both indoors and outdoors. I balance hands-on projects, collaborative learning, and time outdoors, helping children grow in confidence, empathy, and critical thinking.
I’m so glad you’re here, and I cannot wait to welcome your child into our Little Busy Bee community, where curiosity is nurtured, learning is joyful, and every child’s potential is honored.
MY APPROACH
Play, Learn, Grow
Every child is capable, curious, and deeply motivated to understand the world around them. At Little Busy Bee, learning begins with wonder and grows through meaningful play, exploration, and connection.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, children are viewed as active participants in their own learning. I listen closely, observe thoughtfully, and guide experiences that help children make connections, ask questions, and explore ideas that matter to them.
Play as the Pathway to Learning
Play is at the heart of of our days and is the foundation of academic growth. Through play, children naturally develop language, early literacy, math, problem solving, and social emotional skills in a way that feel joyful and purposeful.
As children build, pretend, create and explore, they are making sense of the world. These experiences allow learning to feel meaningful; supporting confidence, curiosity and a genuine love of learning.
Project-Based Learning
In our program, learning grows from curiosity, relationships, and meaningful experiences. Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas deeply, and make sense of the world around them.
We focus on big ideas that children naturally return to again and again such as how things work, how ideas connect, and how they belong within a community. Through this process, children build strong foundations for reading, writing, math and problem solving in ways that feel natural and purposeful.
A Thoughtfully Rhythmed Day
Our days begin with intention, either outdoors or gathered together indoors. When we start outside, children have space to move, explore, and settle into their bodies. When we begin indoors we come together for circle time, to connect, share stories, and ease into the day.
From there, the day unfolds into hands on exploration and project work. Children move between creative invitations, sensory materials, and open ended play that encourages collaboration, problem solving and deep thinking.
Midway through our time together, we pause for a snack and connection before transitioning in or outside.
Each day is designed with a gentle balance of structure and freedom, offering children both security and space to grow.
