PHILOSOPHY 
It is the philosophy of HoneyBee's Nest Learning Center, that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring and discovery. Honeybee's Nest will provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth through the children's play and small group instruction. Children will be exposed to shapes, colors, numbers, and letters through developmentally appropriate activities taught using small group instruction.

CURRICULUM STATEMENT
We do implement the Creative Curriculum. The goals of our curriculum are multi-faceted. Our goals encourage children to be enthusiastic, self-confident, independent learners and we believe that play is the primary mode of learning. Our curriculum also respects individual learning styles
and ever-changing interests. Through our curriculum we promote growth in all areas of development including:                                                                                                                                       
social: to help children learn from adults and one another by observation, imitation, and interaction.

emotional: to provide a safe and secure environment where children can develop pride, self-confidence, independence, self-control, and a positive attitude toward life.

cognitive: to promote curiosity and to help children acquire learning skills, such as the abilities to solve problems, make choices, ask questions, and express their ideas, observations, and feelings.

physical: to help children develop and enhance their small and large muscle skills and feel confident and comfortable with their own bodies.

Our curriculum goals are achieved through integrated, theme-based activities and conversations with adults and children. Opportunities exist within the classroom for the child to engage in one-on-one activities with the teacher, small group and large group activities, solitary and
independent play allowing for opportunities to experiment and explore. Whole group activities are for short periods of time and are suited to the age and ability of the children. Supervised free play and small groups predominate as a means of encouraging educational interaction.
