Miss Humblebee's Academy Preps for Summer Reading

MISS HUMBLEBEE’S ACADEMY RELAUNCHES WITH EXPANDED CURRICULUM AND LESSON BUILDER AHEAD OF SUMMER LEARNING SEASON 

Trusted by more than 500,000 families, the growing platform now offers both ready-to-use early learning curriculum and customizable lesson creation tools for families, educators, and organizations nationwide and in 81 countries

BOCA RATON, FL—April 16, 2026—Miss Humblebee’s Academy today announced the relaunch of its expanded early learning platform, designed for children ages 3 to 6 and used by more than 500,000 families worldwide. The relaunch reflects the company’s next phase of growth: combining a trusted, ready-to-use curriculum with new tools that allow educators and other users to create their own interactive learning experiences.

Since 2012, Miss Humblebee’s Academy has supported early learners through engaging, standards-aligned content designed to build strong academic and developmental foundations. The expanded platform now offers two clear solution paths: Curriculum, which provides structured early learning experiences for children, and Lesson Builder, which gives educators, schools, and other creators the ability to build interactive lessons tailored to their own goals and learners.

The curriculum includes more than 3,000 interactive lessons grounded in the Science of Reading and aligned to state and national standards. Designed for use at home, in classrooms, in homeschool settings, and in libraries, the platform supports literacy, math, science, creativity, social-emotional learning, and kindergarten readiness through short, meaningful daily learning experiences.

The relaunch comes as families and educators prepare for summer, when children benefit from consistent practice and strong routines that help prevent learning loss and support school readiness. Miss Humblebee’s Academy is designed to help children stay engaged through a structured “Daily 5” approach that can be completed in just 15 to 20 minutes a day.

“As a mother, educator and founder, I created Miss Humblebee’s Academy because I wanted something better for children and for the adults guiding them,” said Crystal Labbe, founder and CEO of Miss Humblebee’s Academy. “What began as a curriculum solution has now grown into a broader platform. We still believe deeply in giving children a strong, joyful learning foundation, but we also know that families, educators, and organizations need flexible tools. That is where Lesson Builder comes in. We are creating a platform that supports both ready-to-use learning and customized learning experiences.”

Lesson Builder expands the Miss Humblebee’s Academy platform beyond prebuilt content by allowing users to create their own interactive lessons within the same learning ecosystem. This gives educators, specialists, schools, and other organizations a way to build age-appropriate content that fits their specific instructional needs while still benefiting from the structure and usability Miss Humblebee’s Academy is known for.

Built for today’s diverse learning environments, the platform includes multilingual support, accessibility features, progress tracking, and flexible implementation options designed to meet the needs of a wide range of learners and settings.

“Our focus is not simply to offer more content,” Labbe said. “It is to offer the right kind of support. For some users, that means a strong, ready-to-go curriculum. For others, it means the ability to build and deliver their own interactive lessons. Miss Humblebee’s Academy is growing to serve both.”

Miss Humblebee’s Academy is available nationwide and in 81 countries. Families, educators, schools, libraries, and organizations can learn more at misshumblebee.com.
