HOME - Queen Bee Knysna

At Queen Bee Pre-Primary, we believe that a child’s first school experience should be filled with wonder, warmth, and belonging.

We are more than a school, we are a little hive of hearts, hands, and hopeful beginnings.

Here, children don’t just learn letters and numbers. They discover kindness, creativity, confidence, and connection. They leave us not only ready for “big school” but carrying a deep sense of self, a love for learning, and the joy of being seen and celebrated just as they are.

Our days are rooted in play, nature, rhythm, and relationships where laughter is part of the curriculum and muddy feet are always welcome. Our teachers are nurturers, guides, and gentle encouragers, walking alongside each child as they grow into themselves.

When children leave Queen Bee, they don’t just carry school bags. They carry courage, curiosity and the quiet knowing of who they are and that they belong.

Join Our Exciting Beehive! 4 months - 6 Years

HEDGEHOGS

4 – 24 MONTHS

To you, it’s play, to them it is learning. As a Hedgehog, your child takes their first steps and begins to explore the world around them. At Queen Bee we are there every step of the way to support and promote their natural curiosity. Every day is packed with exciting activities designed to nurture their development.

LADYBUGS

2 – 3 YEARS

The toddler years are packed with new independence, big feelings, and wild curiosity. At Queen Bee, we provide our Ladybugs with ample opportunities to develop language, social skills, and gross and fine motor skills. Our teachers match the high energy that these little ones require, taking care to nurture those innate personalities.

CHAMELEONS

3 – 4 YEARS

Your child is now ready for a little more structure and new fun challenges. As Chameleons your child discovers their independence, we provide an environment to grow their confidence. Our developmentally tailored activities aim to holistically nurture their intellectual, social, and emotional development.

CATERPILLARS

4 – 5 YEARS

How wonderful to be a preschooler! This age is filled with make-believe play, concrete friendships, and unique interests. At Queen Bee our Caterpillars are holistically developed with activities that allow for increased independence and oh so much fun.

BUTTERFLIES

5 – 6 YEARS

Getting ready for ‘big school’ is a big job. At Queen Bee, our Butterflies are exercising those vital perceptual skills that will later form the strong foundations for formal schooling. What sets us apart is our focus on developing your child’s confidence. When they believe in themselves they are ready to fly!
