Beehive Curriculum
A thoughtful, play-based approach to education:
Beehive's Reggio Emilia-inspired play-based philosophy has been refined and aligned to HISD, based on a review of the Texas Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines, Kindergarten TEKS, the HISD Pre-K curricula, West U Elementary Kindergarten Readiness requirements, West U Elementary Kindergarten curriculum, and the top Pre-K curricula on the market.
Our teachers incorporate two research-backed curricula into the play-based learning environment: Get Set for School from Learning Without Tears and Blueprint for Early Literacy Pre-K curriculum supplement from Children’s Literacy Initiative.

Parent Involvement
A parent of each Beehive child volunteers in the classroom once or twice per month on a regular schedule. Parent volunteer days allow parents direct access to their child's education, the teachers, and other parents. Parents assist the teachers throughout the day with a variety of assigned tasks, and have the opportunity to actively engage with their child and other students during learning activities and unstructured play.
