Our Mission: Every child deserves a strong start in life. In a safe and nurturing environment, we will provide an early childhood program that adheres to each child's need in all areas of development. Lessons and activities will be planned by credentialed teachers with the whole child in mind. Children will be supported, comforted, and encouraged. Our team will use professional skills and strategies to provide a stimulating environment that will inspire children to explore and discover new things. Program Philosophy: We strive to bring the importance of early literacy in a child’s first 5 years of life. It is our responsibility to prepare children for what's to come in Kindergarten by providing them the tools and skills they need to meet all requirements for their age if not exceeding them. We find all areas in a child's development extremely important and vital to each child's success. However, we’d like to add one more that we find equally important. The early foundations of reading give children the power to read fluently and with ease which will later translate into a love for learning. At Busy Bees Child Development Center, you will find teachers using professional teaching strategies and love to teach your children the love for reading in the most natural and fun environment. We do this to prevent the struggles many children have their first year in kindergarten when their sense of self confidence diminishes as they struggle to meet the standards their peers are achieving around them. No child should fall out of love for learning simply because they were not prepared for school. At Busy Bees, children have the start every child deserves.
