More than a place to spend the day.
Children deserve time to build, create, investigate, negotiate, make mistakes and return to ideas that matter to them.
At Clever Cubs, experienced educators pair child-led inquiry with intentional teaching. Children develop early literacy and mathematical thinking alongside confidence, independence, communication and the ability to work with others.
The result is a full day that feels like childhood—and learning that prepares children for what comes next.
Two classrooms for two stages of early childhood.
Bear Cubs
An introduction to preschool
Children may begin Bear Cubs as young as 2.5, provided they will turn three during the same calendar year and are fully potty trained. Bear Cubs focuses on belonging, communication, independence and learning how to participate in a classroom community.
