Busy Bees - Abejas Activas

Make it stand out.

  • Communication.

    We stay connected and will receive photos and learning stories that describe your child’s ongoing development. Through our parent app, Brightwheel, you will have access to daily care reports, be able to communicate with your child’s teacher, and can maintain a record of photos and developmental milestones throughout your years with our center.

  • Experience.

    We use Infant and Toddler Maine Early Learning and Development Standards to guide your child’s development and learning. Our experiential learning environment and toddler curriculum include exploration, music and movement, stories, fine motor skills, play, sensory activities, art projects, songs, and much more!

  • Learn.

    Your little ones will be immersed in the Spanish language when they attend our center! You will be amazed at how quickly their Spanish language develops alongside of their English or other majority languages. It is so fun to hear your little one speaking and singing in Spanish! Children will also have time to explore in our nature-based outdoor spaces where they will be able to imagine, create, and play.
