Our Story

The Hive is a locally owned and operated childcare center founded by The Bookout Family. After opening The Busy Bee Preschool in 2017, the Bookouts remained dedicated to providing high-quality childcare for Manor and the surrounding communities. With The Hive, they continue their mission of offering flexible, nurturing care for the littlest learners, giving families a safe, fun, and engaging place for their children to grow.
