Part-time Pre-School Care

Our part-time preschool has now been running for approximately 3 months for our fall semester! We are very excited to announce that we will be increasing our preschool days to include Monday & Thursday. Our preschool program is now enrolling for Winter starting Monday January 6, 2025. 

We are offering a part-time pre-school service for children aged 3-5 years every morning (except Wednesdays) from 8:30am – 12pm. We will have a ratio of one staff member to a maximum of 6 children as we would like to provide more attention and personalized care for each child. Little Beans Playroom has just undergone renovations to include a new climbing wall & additional play structures to spark your kiddos imagination.   

Why our program could work for you

We provide a smaller class with a maximum of 6 children to one adult which is almost half of the state standard.  Our focus is to allow children to learn through play, develop social-emotional skills and have a little structure.  This could compliment homeschooled children, those wanting a stepping stone to full time school or parents looking for a more personalized care.  

What’s in Store?

Innovative Activities: From dance parties to art projects that inspire creativity, to science & sensory experiments that ignite the imagination, our program is packed with activities that are both educational and fun.
Playroom Adventures: We believe in the power of play. Our program includes plenty of time for children to explore, learn & socialize in Little Beans Playroom.  
Friendship & Growth: Little Beans is the perfect place for children to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually, surrounded by peers and guided by our compassionate staff.

Spaces are limited to ensure personalized attention and a quality experience for every child.  Our ratios are above state standard with 1 adult to maximum of 6 preschoolers.

Teaching little ones is a blessing I ‘ve had the privilege to do for over 35 years. My name is Teresa Martin….”Mrs Martin” or “Ms Teresa” or more often just  “TEACHER!” I began teaching at a small Christian school in 1982, right after high school graduation. After working there for 6 years as a teacher, assistant director, and director, I moved on to another school in Sierra Madre California. At Bethany Christian School, I taught a variety ages of preschoolers from 2 1/2- 4 year olds. I was the director for 2 of those years,  but the most important part of my experiences at Bethany was meeting my husband and together having our three children.  I started Bethany in 1988 and by the time we moved to Grants Pass I had worked there for a total of 13 years. In 2007 I joined the staff at Brighton Academy as the PreK teacher and have been there in that capacity until our final day of school this past June 6th.

 

I love working with preschool aged children,  and feel that God has blessed me with the gift of doing so. I enjoy planning activities that engage, inspire, and challenge the kids to explore and be creative. One of my favorite aspects of teaching , is to equip the kids to know how to understand and appropriately express their emotions. Emotional and social skills are so important for developing a healthy,  well rounded child.

I am excited about this new chapter in my life, working with preschool aged children at Little Beans, and looking forward to see what God has in store.
