Our classrooms

We are proud to be a small preschool.  It allows us to give personalized, individual attention.  We will respect the choice of the child while also encouraging them to try new things.  Each week a new theme is introduced and presented in such a way for each child to be challenged, but not frustrated by it. 

We appreciate that children learn in different ways.  This individual information will be a part of the assessment process.  Teachers will use checklists, keep anecdotal information, and create portfolios to assess each child.    Observing and assessing each child allows us to appreciate their uniqueness and value their contribution to our classroom community.

The older the children grow, the more they prefer to work with friends.  At Busy Bee Academy, children learn to respect other children, to resolve conflicts, to wait for a turn, and to become more independent.  Mixing the ages of children provides an advantage for all children. It helps balance their social, emotional, and intellectual developmental needs.  

  Children will begin to see themselves as active participants in the learning process, demanding more knowledge and sharing that knowledge with their peers without the pressure of academic expectations based solely on their age.

Children will have the opportunity to continue their learning on our discovery playground.  Our teachers realize that our outside time is wonderful place for learning.  Sensory investigation, seasonal changes, and scientific exploration will be a part of everyday.  Often you will find our science activity or experiment is performed outside where children learn about their world first-hand.
