Description
The BeeCurious Curriculum supports active toddlers as they develop increased mobility and begin exploring the world around them. Children engage in hands-on learning centers - dramatic play, blocks, table toys, art, and a cozy area - with toys and props that change regularly to reflect current curriculum studies. Language development is central, with children immersed in daily communication and supported by American Sign Language using twenty core signs, plus additional signs tied to each theme of study. Music, movement, peer interactions, and group projects are woven throughout the day, with outdoor play twice daily extending curriculum experiences into well-equipped play spaces. Process-oriented art and sensory experiences encourage creativity and self-expression.

Parent Reviews
We LOVE Busy Bees! It started off a little rough with separation anxieties over a year and a half ago, but our "Little" has absolutely blossomed emotionally, physically, and academically at this Busy Bees! The staff is amazing and goes above and beyond to nuture their families and their Littles! I can't say enough positives about the teachers because there are not enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation for ALL of the staff! Clarissa Harrison is an outstanding supportive Director who is charismatic and so creative! She keeps imaginations soaring everyday! Always doing something fun and new! This Center is warm, always clean, inviting, communicative, and warm welcoming! The children learn so much and get to experience fun adbentures daily!! From learning to write, sing, letters, numbers, colors, balance, playing with others they also get to explore and paint, and invent new things! Trying new elements and reaching out of their comfort zones without them even knowing they are learning and doing so all by playing! Potty training included! whoot whoot! It was fast, easy, simple and direct because all of his peers were potty training at the same time. Very encouraging for our buddy to catch on quickly and build his confidence! Our family feels peace and calm knowing he is safe and sound as we head off to work. With that said, knowing our Preschooler is safe, well taken care of, nutured, thriving, and having an amazing fun filled day productive with his teachers, peers, playmates, takes the stress and worry away! Thank you Busy Bees of Surprise! You ALL Rock!
