Meet Our Director
Jill joined Clever Bee in 2018 as a preschool teacher and has since worked every role leading up to Director. With a passion for early childhood, she has been in childcare for 23 years. She has made it her goal to make sure every child receives the best care and love that we all deserve. Jill aims to continue growing as a professional and give children at Clever Bee Academy the best possible learning experiences to help them develop in all aspects of life.
Jill has three lovely children: Allie, Memphis, and Cruz. She is a proud breast cancer survivor and is involved in many charities related to the cause.
Children are born eager to learn. Clever Bee Academy’s program helps lead children to their full potential and prepares them for success in school and beyond.
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.
