Preschool Preparation That Goes Far Beyond The ABCs

It’s Never Too Early For STEM Activities

Your toddler’s teachers lead them through exciting early science, technology, engineering, and math activities designed to give your little one a foundation for problem-solving, critical thinking, and reasoning skills that will last them a lifetime.

A Positive Environment That Will Support Social-Emotional Learning

Your little one has big feelings, and they need room to grow into them. Your child’s teacher applies Conscious Discipline® and redirection methods to guide children in managing emotions, learning to listen, share, play cooperatively, and using appropriate classroom behaviors.

Self-Care Skills Foster Their Confidence & Independence

Your toddler loves nothing more than to do things all by themselves. Their teachers guide them through self-care skills like dressing and undressing for the potty, zipping jackets, washing hands, and tidying up, and you see their confidence soar!

Twice-Daily Yoga Teaches Mindfulness & Motor Skills

Your child practices yoga twice a day to learn mindfulness and expand their rapidly developing motor skills. Yoga improves balance, flexibility, concentration, and focus and helps your child calm and center themselves for learning.

Indoor & Outdoor Play Sure To Builds Muscles & Coordination

Spacious natural playgrounds give your child ample room to play, run, jump, climb, and explore with their friends. They build essential muscle groups, develop crucial motor skills, and practice their balance and coordination.

Wow! 300 Animals & Insects Become Your Child’s Friends

Your little one spends time each day with nearly 300 animal and insect inhabitants. An early appreciation of nature’s creatures, like birds, reptiles—and yes, bugs—builds empathy, curiosity, confidence, and a sense of wonder.

Outdoor Learning Rounds Out Your Toddler’s Education

Your little one’s learning extends outside the classroom with gardens to tend and explore. A chicken coop on the grounds teaches early lessons in outdoor animal care, and your toddler loves tending to veggies growing in the garden.

A Healthy Food Plan Included With Tuition

Your growing toddler needs nutritious, filling meals and snacks to keep them fueled and ready for fun. Every day, they receive a sugar-free, allergen-free lunch, plus two snacks, to keep them energized and instill healthy eating habits.

I cannot recommend Bug Lady Science Academy (BLSA) enough! My son attended from 2.5 years until he transitioned to Kindergarten. The staff are trustworthy and love the children as their own. The atmosphere and curriculum is unique and engaging. My son was more than prepared when he left BLSA for Kindergarten. If you're looking for a preschool, look no further!

We absolutely loved our experience at The Bug Lady! My son came home daily sharing new facts about animals and science, his teachers were in constant communication with us, and he made the best friends. Now that he's in kindergarten at a public school, he is above his class in both reading and math--no doubt due to the education he received at BLSA!

Amazing place! Both my daughters attended The Bug Lady's Science Academy for pre-school and they still talk about it years later -- they absolutely loved their time there and often ask, when can they go back. The Bug Lady and her staff are amazing, the building is truly magical and unique, and the curriculum is fun, engaging, and educational.

I can’t say enough good things about BLSA. Outstanding staff, strong educational programming, and a fun and caring atmosphere. I loved how easy the staff made things for a busy working mom. We moved right after our daughter finished kindergarten at BLSA, and during the next year, she consistently performed a grade level ahead in science and reading.

Bug Lady and her staff went above and beyond to make sure our daughter was prepared to start school. The summer program was by far the best I have seen, my kids loved all of the science, activities and most of all the staff. Two years later and my kids still ask to stop in and say hello. Highly recommend!

My daughter attended The Bug Lady Science Academy from the age of 3 until she aged out. We would have stayed forever if that would have been an option. She learned so much there, and looked forward to going every single day. The staff is all very caring and always keep you update on what has happened throughout the week. I highly recommend them!

I absolutely recommend her to be a part of any program with kids or adults! She is simply amazing. She is kind & gentle and makes learning fun. If someone is scared of an animal she encourages without “making” anyone touch that animal. She is knowledgeable in her information and education. Keep doing what you are doing! I am so blessed to know you Carrie! 5 stars!!
