Fall 2025 Little Explorers

Welcome to the Hidden Bee Learning Programs—an exciting, hands-on learning experience designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and encourage collaboration! Our programs provide a dynamic and supportive environment where children can explore new ideas, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in meaningful projects.

Little Explorers Program

We are thrilled to announce the exciting expansion of our Little Explorers program, now running from ages 3 to 6, with the addition of a homeschool kindergarten curriculum! This carefully designed program provides young learners with foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development through hands-on activities and structured learning experiences.

Join us for Little Explorers, an enriching indoor and outdoor program at Hidden Bee Learning, located at Hidden Bee Farm. This program is designed for potty-trained children ages 3 to 6 and is carefully crafted to prepare them for their next learning step, whether that’s traditional kindergarten or homeschool. Through a balance of play-based learning and nature exploration, we provide a nurturing environment where children thrive.

Some 6-year-olds may be ready to transition into the Enrichment Program; they will undergo a readiness assessment to determine the best fit for their learning journey.

Discover, Learn, and Play:

Our days include activities such as:

Circle time focused on learning letters, shapes, colors, and days of the week, all through play-based activities
Engaging sensory play to stimulate curiosity and creativity
Indoor and outdoor free play for social and physical development
Hands-on projects and activities to encourage learning through discovery

Potty Training Requirement for Enrollment:

To ensure a safe and supportive learning environment, all children enrolled in our program must be fully potty trained. This means:

Children must be able to recognize when they need to use the restroom and go independently.
They must be able to use a standard toilet on their own.
Staff cannot lift children onto the toilet or assist with pulling down/up pants.
Children must be able to wipe themselves and properly dispose of tissue.
Handwashing reminders will be given, but children must be able to wash their hands independently.
If a child is not fully potty trained, they will not be able to attend the program until they meet these requirements.

Hours:

Sessions run Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, providing ample time for creativity, exploration, and meaningful engagement.

Semester Dates:

August 4, 2025 – December 18, 2025
We follow the Maury County School calendar for holidays, with a few exceptions to accommodate program-specific needs.

Schedule & Pricing

$35 per class
10% sibling discount available

This is NOT a pay-as-you-go program. Payments are made weekly and cover the entire semester, including holidays and breaks. This pricing reflects the extended hours and the resources required to provide high-quality activities, additional staff, and engaging materials.

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.
Each session incorporates theme months such as winter, spring, summer, and fall, where children explore seasonal changes through stories, crafts, sensory activities, and nature walks.
If you have an older sibling in the Enrichment Program and wish to have your child stay later, please let us know. While we cannot guarantee it, we will do our best to accommodate you.
All staff members are fingerprinted, and we maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio for safety. Staff also undergo regular safety training to ensure a secure learning environment.

We are excited to support your child’s development through a structured and joyful learning experience. Hidden Bee Learning at Hidden Bee Farm is thrilled to welcome your little ones—register now and let your child embark on this exciting adventure!
