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.

If your child is in the 1st-grade group, they may stay until 1:00 PM for added convenience.
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. Using a standard toilet without assistance. 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.
