The Hive Preschool Program
We are excited to introduce our preschool program. Inspired by Montessori teaching techniques, Our program offers a wide range of learning opportunities. Our focus is on encouraging children to grow, learn and create through structure and routine while allowing them to explore, create, and imagine without limits.
*Children must be potty trained to attend
Meet the teachers!
Hi! I’m Emily, I went to college for Early Childhood Education and graduated in 2008. A few years after graduating I decided to open my own childcare in Fernie BC Canada. I ran my facility for 7 years and in that time worked very closely with Occupational therapists, Physical therapists and Speech pathologists. I learned so much and loved running my own center but closed my doors to travel and achieve some goals and dreams before becoming a stay at home mom to two boys. I missed working with children and began working for The Hive in February. I now have the opportunity to run a preschool program for The Hive Daycare with Amanda Johnson. We are both so excited and can’t wait to get started.
We have a classroom in Peterson Elementary school with a large outside space in the courtyard. Our day will start and end with outside play. We will have a play based curriculum with rotating themes within a fun, loving and safe environment.
Hi! I'm Lily. I have worked at The Hive this past year. I have been so blessed to play a role in these kids lives! I really enjoy teaching and cant wait to be a part of the preschool again this year.
