The classroom’s garden-like pathway gives children a visual queue of a starting point, interval achievements, and a finish line as they advance from beginning skill level to school readiness. Parents can choose from three learning plans, based on their child’s needs:

• Guided Learning – A step-by-step approach to learning that progresses sequentially. 
• My Learning – The parent selects specific subjects and skills they want their child to focus on. Each skill correlates to an age group. 
• Choose a Lesson – Thematic-based lessons connect core disciplines by common themes.

Miss Humblebee’s Academy includes hundreds of guided lessons with sound cues across language and literacy, art, music, math, science, and social studies. They’re based on standards from the U.S. Department of Education, Head Start Early Child Development, Common Core State Standards, research of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and Early Learning Framework. Take a look at the online and offline kindergarten resources available with this award-winning program. 

Offline STEAM curriculum – Hundreds of hands-on activities reinforce current lessons focused on development milestones and kindergarten readiness, while supporting the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommended limits on screen time.

Miss Humblebee’s Academy provides a supportive and comprehensive learning environment for early childhood education. As the child moves through each lesson, progress is appropriately reinforced, e.g., correct answers are congratulated, while children are given a second chance on incorrect answers. Because Miss Humblebee’s Academy is standards based, every lesson targets one or more specific learning objectives. Also, lessons progress in order of difficulty, so the foundation of knowledge grows with the child’s progression through the program.

Children begin with a 15-question cognitive skills assessment. From there, they create their own avatar and begin their learning adventure. Having the child take a cognitive skills assessment is recommended to establish a baseline of kindergarten readiness, measure improvement compared to subsequent cognitive skills assessments (e.g., every three weeks and after 50 lessons), and benchmark kindergarten readiness compared to industry standards.

To ensure school readiness, Miss Humblebee’s Academy sends parents a weekly email notification to view progress and performance reports, which are available online at all times. Parents can go to one place to track classroom success and activity. The reports are designed to:

• Help identify a child’s strengths
• Pinpoint trouble spots
• View improvement over time
• Measure progress based on length of practice time
• Promote family engagement

Unlike other early learning programs, Miss Humblebee’s Academy provides the tools a public library needs to measure their impact on early literacy development in their community.

When parents can contribute to their child’s learning and realize successes along the way, they become just as excited as the kids. Look at the ways Miss Humblebee’s Academy makes parents an integral part of the process:
