FAQ's
A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

Are you a certified Montessori Center?
Beehive implements many aspects of the Montessori method. However, we are not a certified Montessori school.
Do you offer pick-up service from my home?
No. We only offer pick-up service from select schools. For more details see our Transportation Page.
What happens if my child gets sick or injured?
According to our policies parents will be notified and pick-up requested if needed. We also obtain advance medical releases just in case your child needs emergency care. Children returning to school after being sick may require a doctor's note to do so. For more information, see our Illness Policy.
What if my child needs to take medication?
We can administer prescription medication only upon written consent. We do not administer any over-the-counter medication. See our Medication Release.
What if my child has an allergy?
We'll ask you to complete our Consent for Allergy Disclosure. This will allow us to publicly post appropriate warnings and disclose to our staff your child's specific needs and condition.
Do you provide drop in childcare?
Yes (subject to availability). We can generally accommodate drop-in care for children ages 3 to 10 years of age. We do not accept drop ins for children under 3.
Once I pay my registration fee is my child enrolled?
Not until all the enrollment paperwork is done, tuition is paid, and the Center Director has designated a start date for your child. The forms and process can be found on our Registration Page.
Monthly tuition isn't published because it depends on your child's age, program, and weekly schedule. We set it with you individually in a short meeting with the Center Director before you enroll, and it is kept competitive with a price-match guarantee for children enrolled full-time, ages 3 and up.
What happens if I'm late for pick-up?
In accordance with our late policy (see registration packet) you'll be required to notify us in advance if you plan to be late or if providing an alternate pickup person. As stated in that policy you will be billed for the additional time.
Does Beehive provide meals or snacks?
We provide healthy, kid-friendly snacks in the morning and afternoon, and children bring their own lunch from home. Fridays are Pizza Day — we provide pizza for every child. Our infants are the one exception: parents are responsible to provide their own infant formula and baby food.
Do you accept military and state child care assistance payments?
Beehive Learning Academy is a Participating MCCYN Provider. Active duty and eligible military-connected families can receive fee assistance toward tuition. Search for Beehive Learning Academy on MilitaryChildCare.com to submit your request for care.
What if my child is absent?
If your child is absent for a partial, full, or multiple days you will still be responsible for the full tuition. The tuition holds your child's place in the program. If you plan to have them out for any extended amount of time, we suggest you provide written notice to the Director and ask them to pause your enrollment. We cannot guarantee a spot will be available when ready to return.
How much is monthly tuition at Beehive Learning Academy?
Monthly tuition is not published because it depends on your child's age, program, and the days and hours you attend. Tuition is set individually with you in a short meeting with the Center Director before you enroll, and it is kept competitive with a price-match guarantee for children enrolled full-time, ages 3 and up. There is no standard monthly rate.
What are the registration fees?
Registration is a one-time, non-refundable fee: $50 for one child or $90 for a family enrolling two or more children. It covers the intake meeting and setting your child up in our system. Registration fees are the only fees published on this site; monthly tuition is not published.
