What We Do
BHY provides a rich environment for learning in a place that feels like home.
A playful and nurturing place, BHY supports each child’s intellectual and physical growth while also cultivating social and emotional development. It is common to see teachers speaking with students at eye-level, asking questions and listening respectfully as each child answers. It is also common to hear peals of happy laughter on the playground, and to see fascinated concentration in students practicing their new writing skills or creating art projects for an upcoming holiday celebration.
We believe that children construct their own knowledge through meaningful relationships and experiences. Because opportunities for discovery are based on children’s interests and grow out of their existing knowledge, our curriculum emerges, in part, from those interests. As a result, our curriculum does not always look the same from one classroom to the next, or one year to the next; it is adapted to meet the curiosities and learning styles of each child.
BHY has rolling admissions. Please contact our office for current space availability and wait list information.
Toddler Program
Our toddler program is for children 18-months to 2 years and is designed to introduce children to school in a fun, loving environment. The group focuses on social and emotional growth along with nurturing the development of each unique child.
Preschool Program
The preschool classrooms are for children 2-5 years old and are designed with a balance of age and gender. Our classrooms offer spaces where children can engage in music, construction play, art, science, reading, and cooking. The teachers focus on skills and major concepts for each developmental level as they incorporate these overarching themes into daily lessons.
Pre-K Program
In our pre-k classrooms we offer a curriculum focused on kindergarten readiness. Skills in language arts, writing, math, science, and conflict resolution are fostered, making the transition to kindergarten easier for the whole family.
