Our Facilities
Our brand new facility is thoughtfully designed with three age-specific classrooms to ensure your child receives care tailored to their developmental stage.
Classroom A welcomes toddlers (18 months to 3 years) in a cozy setting capped at 12 children. Classroom B offers a vibrant space for preschoolers (ages 3 to 5), while Classroom C provides a fun, age-appropriate environment for school-aged children (5 to 10 years), with both groups enjoying a maximum size of just 15 kids. Kids enjoy creative zones for art, sensory play, and reading nooks for quiet time.
Outside, our freshly built playground invites active play and safe exploration!
At The Hive, we’ve created a space that feels like a second home – safe, engaging, and full of opportunities to learn and laugh.
“At The Hive, we offer more than just drop-in care-we provide a warm, welcoming space where every child is known, every family is supported, and every moment is filled with opportunities to grow, play, and thrive. Whether you’re here for an hour or a full day, you can count on us to meet your family’s needs with flexibility, safety, and heart.”
