Small Classes, Big Impact-
How I nurture the Whole Child

At Little Busy Bee Preschool, I believe in nurturing each child’s curiosity and fostering a love for learning through play. My approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and project-based learning, emphasizing child-led exploration, creativity, and collaboration. I view every child as capable and eager to connect with the world around them.

Tailored Age Groupings

To best support developmental needs, I offer:
   •    Morning Classes (3-4 years old): These sessions provide a gentle introduction to learning, focusing on social skills, emotional awareness, and early literacy and numeracy in a way that feels natural and engaging, encouraging curiosity and collaboration with peers.
   •    Afternoon Classes (4-6 years old): Designed for children ready to delve deeper into projects, these classes encourage problem solving and collaboration with peers in ways that foster critical thinking, creativity and independence. Academic skills are naturally woven into the process, allowing children to grow at their own pace while building confidence and a love for learning. 

Small Class Sizes

I  maintain small class sizes—maximum 8 children per class to ensure each child is seen, valued, and receives personalized attention. This environment fosters strong connections with peers and myself, enhancing social and emotional development.

Flexible Learning Environment

Whether starting indoors or outdoors, children have the freedom to choose how they begin their day. This flexibility promotes autonomy, decision-making, and self-regulation, essential skills for lifelong learning.

Holistic Development

My curriculum integrates academic concepts naturally into daily activities, allowing children to develop literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills in a stress-free environment.

Healthy Nourishment

Healthy snacks are provided to fuel children’s physical and mental well-being, supporting their energy levels and focus throughout the day.

Outdoor Exploration

Emphasizing the importance of outdoor play, this carefully curated outdoor space encourages a love for nature and supports physical development. We embrace all types of weather, ensuring children connect with the natural world daily.

Community and Belonging

Through group projects and community activities, a strong sense of belonging and respect is fostered, helping children understand the value of collaboration and empathy.

Choosing Little Busy Bee Preschool means providing your child with a nurturing environment where they are encouraged to play, learn, and grow at their own pace. Each child is supported by developmentally appropriate practice and guided by my ongoing commitment to professional growth and education, ensuring that I am always equipped to meet their needs in a thoughtful, child centered way.
