Bethany Busy Bee fosters a Christlike culture characterized by a compassionate, caring, and respectful environment that is sensitive to the diverse backgrounds and cultures, as well as varying needs of each student and family by providing intentional connections with our staff. The school provides student activities that are consistent with the school’s mission, varied in focus, and reflective of the needs and interests of students. It provides a biblically based instructional program that integrates a biblical worldview throughout each domain. The teacher provides mentoring, discipleship experiences, and spiritual support for each of their students to foster an emotionally healthy environment.
It is our desire to provide a balanced education for the children at Bethany Busy Bee by incorporating the following goals in our program.
Spiritual
- God loves us and cares for us, and so we seek to show and reinforce HIS love towards each student and family we meet. Our desire is to partner with the parents in providing spiritual training, teaching the children to love God; and to know and follow the truth found in His Word, the Bible. Psalm 119:105 This is an integral part of Bethany Busy Bee’s program and our outreach. The Spiritual Observation form is used to document spiritual growth.
Social
- Our overall goal is to help each child develop good interpersonal relationships, learning to work out conflicts and interact with others in a positive way using scripture to encourage kindness, compassion, and gentleness. We emphasize cooperative play situations because we believe that communication and socialization skills are high priorities for the young child. Preschoolers are beginning to learn self-control and how to follow social etiquette, rules, and routines
Emotional
- It is our deep desire that each child feel loved, respected and honored. Their independence and self confidence will be strengthened as we help each one realize that she/he is valued and competent.
Academic
- Bethany Busy Bee provides children with a solid foundation for success in life-long learning. Our goal is to provide a positive, engaging and challenging environment with opportunities for the children to learn as much as they can. They will be regularly engaged in solving problems, sorting, classifying, comparing, counting and making patterns for printing.
Physical
- We strive to offer appropriate opportunities that will aid the children in developing both gross motor and fine motor skills – from balance, throwing and kicking to cutting and writing. The songs and dances are about 50% spiritual and 50% traditional preschool songs or classic music.
