Honey Bee Academy and Learn and Play Classes 

Honey Bee Hollow Academy offers parent-and-child preschool and enrichment classes designed for busy families looking for meaningful weekend activities to enjoy together.

Our small, supportive classes provide a welcoming environment for young children, including those who benefit from smaller groups and caregiver support. While we work toward our own Honey Bee Hollow Learn and Play mobile classroom, we are bringing learning outdoors through nature-based classes at parks, beaches, and trails throughout the Connecticut shoreline.

A parent or caregiver is required to remain in attendance for the entire class. In the event of inclement weather, classes may be rescheduled or moved to an indoor community venue.

 Honey Bee Hollow Academy 

Honey Bee Hollow Academy offers six-week parent-and-child preschool sessions, Labor Day through Memorial Day. Join us for a session or for the full year! Each session has a unique theme focused on curiosity, creativity, and connection.

 

Our nature and play-based classes take place at local parks, beaches, and trails when weather allows, combining outdoor exploration with early learning foundations like colors, shapes, letters, numbers, science, and social-emotional skills.

Caregivers participate alongside their children throughout each class and receive take-home activities to continue the learning and fun at home. In inclement weather, classes may be rescheduled or moved indoors to a local indoor community space.

Every class encourages children to build confidence through hands-on discovery, imaginative play, and meaningful interactions with nature. We believe learning is most memorable when children are free to explore at their own pace.

Learn and Play Enrichment classes

Our enrichment classes combine play-based sensory exploration with fun, hands-on learning activities that spark curiosity and encourage a love of learning. Each class features a brand-new theme with storytime, sensory play, art projects, and hands-on activities, so every session is a fresh and exciting experience for young learners and they're grown your!

 

Whether we're exploring the changing seasons, investigating insects, creating process art, or enjoying a favorite story, every class is thoughtfully planned to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

We use indoor and outdoor locations across the Connecticut shoreline, making it easy for families to find a class near them.
