At Miss B’s, little ones grow through creativity, connection and play. We’re a family focused community rooted in imagination and nature, where childhood wonder thrives and families find their rhythm. Children aged two to five join us for morning (9am to 11:30am) or afternoon (1:30pm to 4pm) drop off classes, Monday to Saturday, and the Miss B curriculum nurtures every part of early childhood, with an emphasis on learning through play and social, emotional and physical experiences. Membership begins with a 12 month commitment and continues monthly thereafter.

I founded Miss B’s Children’s Club in Summerland as a sanctuary for little ones to gather, play and grow, rooted in imagination, nature and the arts. It is the greatest privilege to work with young children, and I look forward to welcoming you and your family the moment our doors open.

The story of Miss B’s

Summerland

Our story begins in Summerland, a little seaside town between the mountains and the sea, and the home of our three clubhouses. Every child at Miss B’s belongs to one of them: the Bear, the Owl or the Squirrel.

The Miss B philosophy

Nurturing wonder, one magical moment at a time

We take a holistic approach to early childhood development, blending nature, creativity and community to empower every child to bloom.

    The magic of Miss B

    Rooted in years of early childhood expertise, our philosophy nurtures the whole child, emotionally, socially and physically, through play, imagination and hands on discovery. With a child led approach and our signature B Scopes, learning becomes personal, sparking curiosity and building confidence.

    Intentionally intimate

    We believe play is more than fun. It is how children grow, discover and connect. Our intentionally small clubs mean every child is seen, supported and encouraged to explore at their own pace, so no magical moment goes unnoticed and learning unfolds naturally.

    Growing, together

    At Miss B’s, families don’t just enroll, they join a community. Teachers and parents work hand in hand to champion each child’s individuality, with personal support every step of the way, so every child can be all that they can be.

  • ConnectionTo self, to others and to the world around us, so families grow together.
