While we do not have a prerequisite for potty training for 2-3 year olds, the tuition cost may be affected (higher) for that group of students if they are not trained.
Our PreK head teachers have either a Bachelor’s degree in Education, Master’s degree or Teaching Certification and are highly qualified to teach and lead. Above all, we seek teachers with experience and passion to be in this field. All staff members undergo a comprehensive background check (such as federal clearance for fingerprinting, medical exam, reference checks, child abuse training, CPR / first aid, etc…) On an ongoing basis, our staff work closely with each other and the program director to create and develop stellar and developmentally age-appropriate lesson plans.
The Perfect Place to Bee Learning Academy also provides continuing in-service training and enables teams of teachers to attend conferences and workshops to bring back the latest in concepts, methods, and materials. Our staff meetings with the educational director serve as one of the most important training and resource gathering periods for our teachers. Our teachers have the energy, intellect, and charisma that take children on a magical and challenging voyage of discovery. Our teachers are well-educated and nurturing people who respect the children’s need for security while encouraging autonomy.
All classrooms have a qualified early childhood educator leading the class and an experienced assistant teacher. In addition to these two primary teachers, we have floaters that “float” from classroom to classroom when there is a need for additional assistance. Classrooms may also have student teachers from cooperating colleges such as Dallas Baptist University or Dallas County Community College, and Special Education Itinerant Teachers working with individual students or classes. The Perfect Place to Bee is licensed by the Department of Health Division of Child Care and meets all of their requirements.
Therefore, we follow the state’s standard for ratio requirements according to room/age and enrollment.
We provide a nurturing program that unfolds the authentic spirit and character of each child while educating their hearts and minds. Our teachers seek to instill a deep and challenging academic excellence, one that prepares children to learn confidently for the rest of their lives and to develop a love of learning.
At The Perfect Place to Bee Learning Academy, we recognize that the children’s developmental needs should be the foundation for every choice we make in planning our curriculum. By understanding the developmental continuum between ages infant through six, we have chosen FROGSTREET as the curriculum in which our staff will teach our students.
Lesson plans follow standards for learning in areas including social/emotional, physical, creative expression/aesthetic, language/literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, critical thinking, problem solving and social studies.
Good nutrition is the foundation of lifelong health, and that begins at infancy. Healthy eating can stabilize children’s energy, sharpen their minds, and even out their moods.
The Perfect Place to Bee Learning Academy provides a variety of hot and cold breakfasts, lunches, and a snack. Outside food will not be allowed in the Preschool so it is imperative that parents communicate their child’s likes and dislikes with the Director and staff. While we encourage students to partake of the healthy meals prepared for them, we do not force them to eat. Weekly, Monthly and sometimes seasonal meal calendars can be located on our school website, posted in the parent information center and in each classroom.
