Bumblebee Preschool believes that early childhood education is a collaborative journey between the child, the family, and our dedicated educators. We focus on nurturing each child as an active, competent learner, recognizing the vital role families play in this process. Our Cambridge Early Years curriculum, developed in collaboration with trusted early years experts, reflects the very latest educational thinking, empowering children to explore ideas and develop skills through a variety of engaging activities.
Experience
At Bumblebee Preschool, we empower Cambridge schools to tailor their curriculum to best suit their students' learning styles. This flexible and adaptive approach ensures we meet the unique needs of each child and community. By allowing educators to shape a dynamic learning environment, we foster curiosity and a genuine love for learning.
Active Learning
We believe children should actively participate in their learning journey through carefully planned experiences. These experiences help them develop essential skills such as competence, agency, emotional attachment, and self-worth. Our focus on active learning encourages children to take initiative and engage deeply in their educational journey.
Balanced Development
Our curriculum emphasizes a balanced development across physical, cognitive, language and communication, and social and emotional areas. We understand that all these aspects are interconnected and crucial for holistic growth. Therefore, our activities are designed to nurture every facet of a child's development, ensuring comprehensive and well-rounded progress.
Play-Based Learning
Learning at Bumblebee Preschool is age-appropriate, play-based, and child-centered. We incorporate both child- and adult-led activities, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace. This play-based approach enhances creativity, problem-solving skills, and social interactions, making learning both effective and enjoyable.
