Trouble Building a Scroll-able Page with a bottom-navigation-Bar - flutter

Question

When I am adding a bottomNavigationBar to my Page, the body of my Page will disappear. I believe the porblem to be sourced with my use of SingleChildScrollView from other posts that I have read
It does not appear to matter where I call in the bottom navigation Bar the page stops working
-homeScreen.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:second_try/Widgets/headerHome.dart';
import 'package:second_try/Widgets/menuHome.dart';
import 'package:second_try/Widgets/businessesList.dart';
class homeScreen extends StatefulWidget {
homeScreen({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
#override
_homeScreen createState() => _homeScreen();
}
class _homeScreen extends State<homeScreen> {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(body: bodyHomePage()),
);
}
}
class bodyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
const bodyHomePage({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: SingleChildScrollView(
child: Column(children: <Widget>[
headerHome(),
homeMenu(),
businessesList(),
businessesList(),
]),
),
// bottomNavigationBar: bottomNavigation(),
),
);
}

bottomNavigation.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class bottomNavigation extends StatelessWidget {
const bottomNavigation ({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
currentIndex: 1,
items: [
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_drop_up,), title: Text("GLO",
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),),),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_drop_up), title:

],
),
),
);
}
}
I am expecting both the Pages Screen and the navigation bar to be view-able but the two are not working together at the moment
I am not experiencing any error messages

_homeScreen, bodyHomePage and bottomNavigation build methods return MaterialApp - you should need only one MaterialApp, in _homeScreen, the rest should be widgets. – Melquiades 7 mins ago
Thanks for the fast help. I though I needed to call MaterialApp if I was building components outside of that original page. Thanks for the quick fix! just starting using flutter a few days ago
