FAQs
How many classes a week should my child attend?
We recommend that your child attends Clever Bee once a week to gain the full benefits of our program. As school approaches, we may suggest additional classes if needed, as some children benefit from the repetition and extra practice.
​
How many children are in each class?
At Clever Bee Kindergarten Prep, each class is intentionally small, with a maximum of six children. This setup ensures personalised attention and a nurturing learning environment for every student.
​
Do parents stay during the class?
Our program encourages independence as part of school readiness, so we ask parents to say goodbye after drop-off. However, we understand some children may need extra support with separation. If you have concerns, please speak with us to arrange a supportive transition plan.
​
Can I use NDIS funding to pay for the program?
Currently, Clever Bee Kindergarten Prep does not accept NDIS funding to pay for sessions. However, we are exploring registration options to potentially include this in the future. Please feel free to ask us for the latest updates on our progress with NDIS registration.
​
Is one term sufficient for my child? When should they start?
While one term at Clever Bee provides valuable learning experiences, we recommend enrolling your child for the full academic year to fully benefit from the progressive curriculum. Parents often find that starting at age 3 1/2 allows their child to maximise the advantages of our program.
​
Does attending Clever Bee replace kindergarten?
No, Clever Bee is designed to complement kindergarten education by enhancing your child's skills in a more focused group setting. We support the kindergarten experience, not replace it, ensuring your child is well-prepared and confident for school.
​
Do you offer free trial classes?
Absolutely! Clever Bee Kindergarten Prep offers free trial classes to give you and your child a taste of what our program has to offer. We welcome you to register for a session through our website or call us to discuss available options. Due to high demand and limited spaces, we recommend securing your trial class early to ensure a spot for your child.
​
Can I bring a friend?
We love referrals and encourage you to share Clever Bee with friends! If your friend enrols their child as a result of your referral, we offer a discount on your next term's tuition as a thank you. Please ensure your friend mentions your referral when they contact us, and note that placements are subject to availability.
​
Will my child be bored in school after attending your classes?
Our aim is to prepare children for school by fostering confidence and capability in learning within a supportive environment. Clever Bee does not cover the full school curriculum but instead provides a foundation that makes the transition to school exciting and enjoyable. Children leave our program eager to learn and engage with new educational challenges.

Nurturing Cooperation and Emotional Intelligence
Building Happy, Confident Social Navigators
At Clever Bee Kindergarten Prep, we recognise that starting school is about more than just academic readiness; it's equally about being emotionally and socially prepared. Our programme places a strong emphasis on social skills and emotional well-being, ensuring that every child is supported in becoming a confident, kind, and adept social navigator.

fitting in, and managing emotions. Our experienced educators provide personalised
attention, helping children develop the skills to express themselves, understand others,
and form meaningful friendships. Through role-playing, group activities, and guided
discussions, children learn to navigate social situations with ease and confidence.
A Foundation of Kindness and Respect
Central to our programme is the cultivation of a supportive environment where
children learn the value of kindness and respect. By encouraging positive interactions
and teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, we help prepare your child not
just for school, but for life.
Empowering Children for a Smooth Transition
We aim to send each Clever Bee graduate into their school years as well-rounded individuals who are not only academically equipped but also emotionally and socially prepared. This comprehensive approach ensures that your child will start school ready to learn, ready to play, and ready to thrive.
