Why Bees and Cubs?
At Bees & Cubs, children engage in a comprehensive curriculum that integrates socialization, language development, literacy, numeracy, physical activity, scientific exploration, technology usage, music, art, and other creative pursuits.
The transition from informal play-based learning to structured instruction in foundational subjects like mathematics, reading, and writing reflects our commitment to holistic development. We acknowledge that children progress at their own pace and our program is designed to cater to individual needs. Teachers respond adeptly to each child's requirements, fostering cooperative play, effective communication, language acquisition, literacy skills, mathematical understanding, and spatial awareness.
Through hands-on activities and expressive mediums like drawing, painting, modeling, drama, and music, children are encouraged to observe, question, and express themselves. Our aim is to cultivate independence and critical thinking skills, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
