Welcome to Hidden Bee Learning Programs!
Exciting Changes Coming This Fall!
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.
🌱 Little Explorers (Ages 3-5) – Early Foundational Learning
Little Explorers is designed to provide a strong foundation for learning through hands-on play, sensory activities, and early social development. This program nurtures curiosity, creativity, and essential early skills, helping young learners develop confidence in language, motor skills, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging environment.
Pathfinders (Ages 6–7):
Pathfinders will function as a micro-school, following Tennessee homeschooling laws while offering a structured curriculum through Moving Beyond the Page. The program builds literacy, math, science, and creative problem-solving skills, with a strong focus on reading readiness and foundational learning. While the primary age range is 6–7, exceptions may be made for 5-year-olds based on learning readiness, ensuring a supportive transition from early education to more advanced academic work.

Enrollment Requirements: Potty Training Policy
To ensure a safe and supportive learning environment, all children must be fully potty trained before enrolling. This means:
✅ Recognizing when they need to use the restroom and going independently.

✅ Managing clothing and wiping themselves.
✅ Washing hands independently (reminders will be given).
🚨 If a child is not fully potty trained, they will not be able to attend until they meet these requirements.
Schedule & Pricing
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 12:30 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
To ensure continuity in learning, students are automatically enrolled for the following semester unless families request removal. This guarantees your child’s spot in the program and minimizes disruptions.
Important Notes for Enrollment
🚨 Signing up does not automatically guarantee a spot. If space 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 if you continue, but a new enrollment form must be completed to confirm your spot.
🌱 Each session features seasonal themes (winter, spring, summer, fall), where children explore nature, storytelling, crafts, and sensory activities.
Safety & Staff Qualifications
🔹 Low Student-to-Teacher Ratio: Small class sizes for personalized attention and a safe learning environment.
🔹 Background-Checked Staff: All staff members are fingerprinted and undergo regular safety training.
