What is our Preschool?
Here at honeybee we understand that a well-educated team ensures high quality learning outcomes for all children. With this in mind all our educators are university trained or diploma trained (or working towards).Each educator has unique strengths, interests and knowledge base, and these combined pedagogies allow us to build a strong curriculum that meets the needs and interests of all our children. Ongoing professional development and reflection ensures the team stays abreast with current brain research, research into pedagogical thinking and changes and progression in the field of early childhood education.
