About our program
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 maximum class size of 6 children to 1 adult for the 3-4 year old’s and 8 children for the 4-5 year old’s as we would like to provide more attention and personalized care for each child.
We have now opened in our NEW location on F Street and feature a larger preschool room, private bathroom, large climbing structure and a goal to provide a preschool outdoor space by Spring/Summer 2026. We also have our cafe open with coffee, snacks available for purchase.
Why our program could work for you
We provide a smaller class, 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 to prepare them for school. This could compliment homeschooled children, those wanting a stepping stone to full time school or parents looking for a more personalized care.

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.
