Sensory Seedlings Preschool Experience


Starting on March 19 (Wednesday), join us for a weekly magical intro to preschool designed for toddlers ages 12 to 36 months. Each week, we’ll explore themed-based sensory experiences inspired by beloved children’s books, fostering creativity, curiosity, and essential early learning skills.


This program focuses on learning through play with a special emphasis on social-emotional development, helping your child build confidence, creativity, and connections with peers.


What to Expect:

- Interactive Storytime: Immerse your little one in the magic of children’s books through engaging storytelling and playful activities.

- Sensory Exploration: Delight tiny hands with sensory bins and textures that inspire wonder and discovery.

- Creative Art Projects: Craft masterpieces to take home and treasure each week.

- STEM Exploration: Introduce your child to early science concepts with hands-on, age-appropriate activities.

- Food Prep & Life Skills: Foster independence through simple, guided cooking activities and everyday life skills.

- Social Emotional Learning: Develop character, empathy, and social connections in a nurturing environment.

- Music & Movement: Spark joy with songs, dance, and guided free play to build social connections and gross motor skills.

** Each session includes a one-hour guided class with all materials provided, plus a 1 hour complimentary free play at The Busy Bee which you may use 30 min before class and 30min after class.


Parental Involvement:

Parents or caregivers are encouraged to stay within the premises during the sessions to provide comfort and support to their child if needed. We practice short goodbyes to ease any separation anxiety, reassuring children that their parent/caregiver will always return.


Snacks and Refreshments:

Snacks and refreshments will be provided for children. While snacks for kids are complimentary, feel free to bring your own if preferred.


Important Reminders:

  • Please come 10 mins before class to fill out the child sheet and sign the waiver form.
  • Children must wear grip socks at all times. This is part of The Busy Bee's safety policy to ensure secure footing and minimize the risk of slips or falls. Grip socks are available for purchase upon check out.
  • A smock is recommended to protect clothing from paint or food stains. New smocks are available for purchase upon checkout.


Give your child the gift of meaningful play in a warm, welcoming environment designed just for them. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today for this adventure!
