Lovely Bees is a small Russian-English bilingual childcare for children ages 6 months to 4 years. We believe exceptional childcare is personal—every child should feel safe, loved, understood, and excited to come each day. Our program combines nurturing care with early childhood development and cognitive psychology. Through play, books, music, art, outdoor activities, and structured learning, we support language, memory, thinking, confidence, independence, and social-emotional development. Children enjoy fresh homemade meals, healthy routines, and plenty of individual attention as we help prepare them for preschool and school.

About us
On purpose, a small childcare in a house.
Lovely Bees is an in-home family childcare built around the feeling children naturally need: to be loved, heard, understood, and free to explore.
Our games, activities, and daily rhythm are thoughtfully informed by how young children learn and grow. One of our co-teachers is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cognitive psychology.
Nature
Children want to move, get outside, be curious, and connect. We make space for those instincts every day — with fresh air, unhurried play, and real attention.
Home
Because we are small by design, children experience the steadiness of familiar faces, meaningful routines, and a community that knows them well.
Our science-backed approach
Small, multilingual, sensory, creative.
We use research as a guide, not a slogan. Our activities are designed for young children, observed closely, and adjusted with care.
Small on purpose
With a maximum of 12 children, we can offer more adult attention, several diaper-changing stations, and developmentally appropriate materials for our youngest learners. Research links smaller groups and lower child-to-adult ratios with stronger caregiver–child interaction quality, though they are one part of a larger picture of quality care.
We welcome multilingual families and make room for different sounds, words, and ways of communicating. Studies suggest bilingual experience can support metalinguistic awareness and may support some executive-function skills, while the overall evidence is mixed — which is why we focus on joyful, meaningful language exposure rather than promises.
Sand, foam, water, cardboard, clay, paint, and other open-ended materials invite children to explore texture, cause and effect, fine-motor movement, problem-solving, and self-expression. The research is promising but not uniform, so we treat sensory and messy art as rich opportunities for play — not guaranteed outcomes.
Our approach is informed by research, but every child is different. We pair evidence with careful observation, responsive relationships, and conversations with families.
