We're thrilled to introduce you to this dynamic program designed to provide a solid foundation for academic and social development.
Our Approach
At St. George's, we understand the critical role that early childhood education plays in a child's development. The Busy Bees program is a carefully crafted educational journey that embraces the essence of learning through play. We believe that education should be an adventure, and our approach reflects this philosophy.
What to Expect
Comprehensive Curriculum: Our Busy Bees enjoy a well-rounded curriculum that combines academic learning, hands-on experiences, and creative play. We aim to nurture their inquisitive minds, encourage problem-solving, and ignite a love for exploration. With our curriculum, your child will be prepared for the exciting journey of lifelong learning.
Dedicated Educators: The Busy Bees program is guided by passionate and experienced educators who understand the unique needs of preschoolers. Our teachers create a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children can grow, develop, and express their individuality. We foster a sense of security and belonging in which children can thrive.
Social and Emotional Development: At this stage, children are not only acquiring academic skills but also building essential social and emotional foundations. In the Busy Bees program, your child will learn to interact with peers, express themselves, and develop empathy. These vital skills form the cornerstone of a happy and successful academic journey.
Flexible Schedule: The Busy Bees meet from Monday to Thursday 9:15 AM to 12:15 PM, providing the perfect balance between structured learning and free time for exploration. In addition to engaging lessons and play, our Busy Bees also enjoy participation in weekly Music & Movement, monthly Chapel Time, and monthly Bible Story. Busy Bees may participate in Lunch & Play after their regular school day and STEAM Quest on Fridays. We understand the importance of flexibility in accommodating your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.
Music & Movement
The Program that Inspires Creativity and Confidence.
At St. George’s Preschool, all students benefit from singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Creativity and exploration are central to our Music and Movement curriculum. Activities focus on developing age-appropriate gross motor skills and coordination while enjoying and exploring the musical world. Students learn about music and movement through comparatives such as fast vs. slow, quiet vs. loud, and heavy vs. light. Throughout the year, students learn to use and experiment with drums, jingle bells, scarves, bean bags, claves, parachutes, balloons, egg shakers, and so much more!
Chapel Time
Visits to the sanctuary of the church to learn about the practices of faith as well as theology in a way that is easy for the children to understand. There is interactive prayer, singing, and teaching activities that help the children understand the beliefs and values of following Jesus Christ. Our goal is to nurture the children in the faith that can transform the world for good.
Bible Story
The children will enjoy a lively reading of engaging tales of Bible heroes and classic Old and New Testament Bible stories. Discover how God's strength and love for all children are revealed through Jesus' life and ministry. These stories will inspire the children with hope and faith, letting them know they are cherished by God and part of God’s Plan.

STEAM Quest
For children 3 years and older – A program that Challenges and Inspires Young Minds.

Each STEAM Quest is different, mixing structured STEAM projects with the thrill of play. From making giant pumpkins and doing crazy experiments like “elephant toothpaste” oozing out of pumpkins, learning art skills like negative space painting, using math skills to follow a recipe in our kitchen, to enjoying outdoor activities and what they see in nature, we stimulate curiosity and inspire children to express their creative potential. With a small number of students, STEAM Quest provides a memorable educational experience while ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your child.
