  • "wBees has been an immeasurable source of growth for our child. His communication skills have dramatically improved since he has been with wBees. I am so thankful for all of the personalized instruction that he is receiving from his teachers and the administration of the school. The toys and play items he is exposed to have not only helped him develop better motor skills but they are improving his social skills too. He used to get very fixated on just a few things, and now his field of play has grown tremendously. We are so thankful to be a part of the enriching wBees community. "

  • "It has been a life-altering experience having our two children experience the loving, warm, empowering and independence-enabling tools and learning they've received at wBees. For us, it has felt like a particularly radical gift to give them the serenity and spaciousness of the environment and educational approach in the midst of our very stimulating, gritty, and competitive city energy. And, on top of the bright-eyed wonder and joy we witness in both our kids, we've also felt invaluable harmony for our entire family thanks to the countless Montessori tools and principles we've embraced in our home and parenting approach."
