Come and Play with us at Honey Bee Hearth Preschool

Marin Mommies presents a sponsored article from the Honey Bee Hearth Preschool in Corte Madera.

Young children love to play, explore, and discover new things.  They are always moving and have very active imaginations. They are also beginning to take their first steps in socializing with others, learning how to take turns, and developing trust and respect for those around them.  All of these experiences lay the foundation for the child’s future learning and interest in the world.

At Honey Bee Hearth Preschool, the children begin this journey together, alongside the plants and animals they care for each day!  There is lots to do!  The program is both indoors and outdoors with a daily rhythm consisting of play, storytelling, circle time, artistic activities, gardening, and meaningful work. We chop veggies for our soup, grind oats for our oatmeal, care for our toys, and clean the classroom and garden. And of course, there is lots of time for play.

Honey Bee Hearth Preschool is a home-based program for children ages 2 to 5. The size of the program is limited to 6 children – which gives them much opportunity to work closely with the teacher and for the teacher to get to know each child.  It is inspired by the principles of Waldorf education and Lifeways North America. The children will develop their sense of confidence, imagination, gross and fine motor skills, social/emotional skills (including awareness of the other), and how to care for their environment.  They will have plenty of opportunities to practice patience, try new things, and work through other challenges. This is always done in a loving, supportive way.

We follow the seasons of the year in all we do — telling stories, singing songs, and gardening based upon what mother nature is up to outdoors. Every day we wake up our kind words, working and playing hands, and our loving hearts. As children thrive with a predictable rhythm, they can relax into themselves and take the next steps to become a healthy human being.
