Our Mission

Nurturing children, strengthening families, building community.

At Praze Pre-School we believe that every child — regardless of background, ability or means — deserves a joyful, secure start in life. Operating as Little Beebles at Crowan Primary School in Praze-an-Beeble, we provide play, education and care for children primarily under statutory school age, while actively supporting the families around them.

Rooted in the values of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, our entirely volunteer-led team creates an environment where curious minds flourish and parents find genuine community support.

I.
Play-based learning
Children discover the world through structured play that builds confidence and curiosity.
II.
Family partnerships
We work closely with parents, helping them understand and support their child's development.
III.
Inclusive community
Every child is welcome, regardless of race, culture, religion or means.
IV.
Local roots
Deeply embedded in Praze-an-Beeble, we serve and strengthen the rural community around us.

What families say

Voices from our community.

The impact of Little Beebles is best understood through the words of those who experience it — the parents, volunteers, and community members who make up the heart of our pre-school.

"

Little Beebles was a lifeline when we moved to Praze-an-Beeble. My daughter was nervous around other children, but within weeks she was leading the singing and couldn't wait to go each morning. The staff care genuinely about every single child.

I started volunteering at Little Beebles during lockdown and never left. It's more than a pre-school — it's the connective tissue of this community. Watching children grow in confidence over a single term is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
