Based on the successful Starfall Common Core Program, the Busy Bees Preschool curriculum integrates math, science, health, creative arts, social studies, physical movement, early literacy, and social-emotional development, all under a framework of guided instruction and imaginative play. 

Key curriculum highlights include:

•Motivation — Build a cooperative classroom environment to fuel motivation, with child-directed instruction, hands-on experiences, ownership of materials, and interactive online activities, and by supporting and exploring imagination.

•Phonological Awareness — Ensure readiness for phonics instruction with short, daily exercises.

•Phonics — Introduce letter-sound relationships systematically, sequentially, and explicitly.

•Vocabulary — Explore vocabulary in quality literature, during instruction, and in everyday communication.

•Social & Emotional Development — Prepare children for new social environments presented at school by example, through direct communication, and with cooperative learning activities.

•Science — Explore the magic of the natural world with simple scientific experiments involving plants, temperatures, textures, and more!

•Math — Build a foundation for mathematical thinking through center exploration, activities, and games, using math children encounter every day.

Our goal is to build a foundation to help prepare your child for a successful transition into Kindergarten.

Our licensed facility has fully qualified and experienced staff that will support and encourage your child to reach their potential in a curious and creative way.
