Meet Our Director
Hi, I am Melanie Calore 30 years of invaluable childcare experience coupled with a CDA credential. My journey in childcare began three decades ago, driven by a passion for nurturing and shaping young minds.
I am a mother to three wonderful boys, and I also am a grandmother to a precious granddaughter. My journey as a parent has been filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.
As a seasoned Center Director , I have taken on the responsibility of training and mentoring individuals at all levels within the childcare industry. From new teachers eager to make a difference in young lives to aspiring center directors seeking guidance in leadership roles, I have been a trusted mentor and resource to many.
My love for children knows no bounds, and I am thrilled at the prospect of becoming a part of your child’s life. With my wealth of experience in childcare, compassionate nature, and dedication to nurturing young minds, I am committed to providing a loving and supportive environment where your child can thrive and flourish.

Infants are born ready to learn and explore the world! Our infant child care classrooms are where child care begins and where your baby develops into a curious and active child. Purposeful play is integrated into every lesson to ensure your infant begins their path to learning with constructive and fun activities.
Toddlers are always on the go! Our toddler classrooms provide a safe environment where your child can explore and learn. Teachers promote self-care skills such as feeding, cleaning, and dressing. As you would expect from the best toddlers schools in the state, Clever Bee Academy Ohio will support your child’s large motor development and hand-eye coordination through a variety of activities such as kicking balls, tossing, writing, drawing, and lacing. Ultimately, we help prepare toddlers for the more challenging preschool programs.
Welcome to Clever Bee Academy’s preschool program! Our preschool classrooms provide daytime child care to meet children’s needs for continued growth and preparation into a key transition – entering kindergarten at the end of the program. We believe that preschool programs promote a healthy adjustment in this period, helping build healthy transitions and attachments in the future.
More than 70 percent of U.S. children have parents who work away from home, leaving 15 million youth unsupervised by adults when the school day ends. With Clever Bee Academy’s before and after-school care program, your kids can enjoy a safe environment to develop in as they wait for you before and after school.
Our summer camp program provides a variety of hands-on experiences that encourage critical thinking, problem solving, innovation, creativity, and collaboration. Enriching teacher-led projects stimulate child discovery through small and large group activities.
Our program supports busy families with adult supervision and child care for their children when they are not in school.
