Fall 2025 Trailblazers Enrichment Program

As you know, Hidden Bee Learning is growing, and we’re excited to introduce our newly structured programs starting this Fall! These changes ensure that every child is placed in an environment that best supports their learning, growth, and creativity.

Trailblazers (Ages 7-11) – Hands-On Enrichment

Formerly known as our Enrichment Program, Trailblazers will dive into hands-on, subject-specific projects in science, art, critical thinking, and leadership. Through collaboration and exploration, students will develop essential skills while engaging in meaningful, real-world learning experiences.

We’re thrilled to launch these new changes this Fall and create an even more engaging and supportive learning experience for all of our students!

Children ages 7-11 are invited to join us for engaging activities tailored to their ability levels. Some 7-year-olds may need to join the younger program based on an assessment of their learning readiness.

Program Overview

Semester Dates: August 4, 2025 – December 18, 2025

Schedule & Pricing

💲 Tuition & Payment Policy

Payments are due weekly. This is not a pay-as-you-go program. Tuition is calculated for the full semester and then broken down into convenient weekly payments — about $35 per class — to make it more manageable for families. When you enroll, you are committing to the entire semester, and your weekly payments reflect a portion of that full commitment.

📅 Program Hours

Monday through Thursday
9:00 AM to 1:00 PM

📅 Fall Semester Dates

August 4, 2025 – December 18, 2025
(We follow the Maury County School calendar, with a few exceptions.)

🎉 Sibling Discount

Returning families receive 10% off for each additional child enrolled (siblings only; does not apply to new families).

Semester-Based Tuition Commitment & Withdrawal Policy

Please check our calendar for all breaks and holidays. We follow the Maury County Public School calendar for most closures.

When you enroll and are accepted for the semester at Hidden Bee Learning, you are committing to the full semester. While we do not require full payment upfront — in order to ease the financial load for families — this does not make the program month-to-month or flexible for early withdrawal.

We carefully plan our staffing, materials, and classroom structure based on committed enrollment. Once your child is enrolled, their spot is reserved and cannot be held open or replaced easily after the semester begins.

Important Dates:
We offer a withdrawal grace period until July 14 prior to the fall semester. If plans change before that date, only the $50 deposit will be forfeited. After July 14, the standard withdrawal policy applies.

Withdrawal Policy (After JULY 14):
If you withdraw your child after the deadline, you are responsible for a $450 early withdrawal fee and must give a 30-day written notice. This policy is in place because your child’s enrollment means other families were turned away from the waitlist, and the timing makes it difficult to fill the space again.

Sibling Discount Reminder:
If one sibling is withdrawn after the deadline, the discount applied to the remaining sibling will no longer apply. Discounts are based on multiple children being enrolled and attending concurrently.

We understand that life happens and unexpected changes may come up. We’re always happy to discuss individual circumstances on a case-by-case basis, but please understand that this structure allows us to run a consistent, high-quality program for all families.

If you’d like to set up a biweekly or monthly payment plan, just reach out—we’re happy to arrange that for you!

Automatic Enrollment

Students are automatically enrolled in the following semester unless families request to be removed. This ensures continuity in learning and secures your child’s spot in the program.

Important Notes:

Signing up does not automatically guarantee a spot, as spaces fill quickly. If a spot is unavailable, your deposit will be refunded.
If you are offered a spot but choose not to take it, the deposit is non-refundable.
For returning families, deposits roll over to the next semester if you continue, but a new enrollment form must be completed to confirm your spot.
We follow the Maury County School calendar for holidays, with a few exceptions to accommodate program-specific needs.

Program Highlights

Extended Projects: Longer sessions allow children to dive into multi-day projects, such as science experiments, collaborative art pieces, and problem-solving activities.
Small Group Learning: Groups are tailored to ability levels when needed, ensuring personalized attention and meaningful learning experiences.
Guest Speakers and Field Trips: This semester, we’re excited to introduce engaging guest speakers and off-site field trips to complement the hands-on learning at the farm.
Weekly Updates: Families will receive weekly emails detailing projects and activities, so learning can continue at home if desired.

Learning Approach: See It, Say It, Read It, Write It

We implement the See It, Say It, Read It, Write It program as the foundation of our learning approach. This program engages children through multisensory activities that enhance understanding and retention.

See It: Children watch videos, view pictures, and participate in hands-on projects like art and science experiments to visually engage with new topics.
Say It: Group discussions, storytelling, and Q&A sessions encourage children to articulate what they’ve seen and learned, building their confidence and communication skills.
Read It: Students engage with age-appropriate literature, both independently and in guided reading sessions. Books will also be read aloud as a group, followed by discussions to dive into characters, themes, and lessons.
Write It: To tie everything together, students express their learning through writing, drawing, or journaling, showcasing their understanding creatively.

Snack & Lunch Break

Children will enjoy a mid-morning snack and a lunch break during the session. We ask that families:

Pack reusable containers and minimize single-use packaging to support our trash-free farm initiative.
Include a water bottle and nutritious options for their child’s meals.
Be mindful that even small bits of trash can harm farm animals, so every effort to reduce waste makes a big difference.

A Supportive Learning Environment

At Hidden Bee Farm, we’re passionate about creating an enriching homeschool experience. Our program fosters creativity, collaboration, and a love for learning in a supportive and engaging environment. From hands-on projects to group learning activities, we offer a dynamic and tailored approach to education that your child will love.

We embrace every child’s unique learning style while maintaining a structured program. This balance allows us to provide a supportive and adaptable environment where all types of learners can thrive and succeed.
