Our programs

We understand parents’ need for quality child care providers and education and development programs for their children in every community that we serve. Our teachers are trained to provide quality education and care to our children beginning at 6 weeks. Our curriculum promotes your child’s development through the infant, toddler, and preschool stages with the goal of preparing your child for success in grade school and beyond.

Infant Program

6 weeks to 17 months

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.

Infants

Toddlers

18 months to 3 years

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.

Toddlers

Preschoolers

3 to 4 years old

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.

Preschoolers

School-agers

5 to 12 years old

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.

School-agers

Summer camp

June to August

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.

Before-and-after school care

5 to 12 years old

Our program supports busy families with adult supervision and child care for their children when they are not in school.

    LBP is aligned with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework

 

  • LBP provides a scope and sequence for three-year-olds with quarterly indicators
    on progress towards the goal of meeting the standard.

  • LBP has developed activities which demonstrate the philosophy that
    building trusting, respectful relationships, creating a safe, nurturing
    learning environment, planning meaningful experiences, and engaging in
    intentional interactions with children is key to early childhood
    educational outcomes.

  • Families are involved as partners in their child’s learning.

  • Our curriculum and professional development provide developmentally
    sequenced, play-based experiences, intentionally designed, and paced in
    keeping with state and national standards.

  • Teachers and children engage in multicultural experiences to develop
    appreciation and celebrate each child’s home culture, as well as
    similarities and differences among others worldwide.

  • Social and emotional development is embedded within every learning
    experience as LBP believes children construct knowledge bridged upon
    what they already know, but it is that social, relationship-based
    connection that acts like glue - cementing understanding and seeking
    more.

  • Experiences are written based on current, research-based best practices,
    while providing teachers with expertise and insights from the authors’
    extensive classroom experiences.

  • Ongoing, observational assessment informs decisions and guides
    teachers in adapting activities to meet children’s individual interests and
    needs.

  • LBP provides intentional, meaningful, engaging, activities which are
    targeted toward building children’s competencies: focusing on what each
    child can do, challenging them, and planning the next steps.

  • Additionally, lesson support is provided to assist teachers in modifying
    and differentiating experiences to ensure that all children will experience
    growth and success.

  • Learning Beyond Paper is designed to scaffold children’s skills as activities
    are integrated across the domains.

  • As children play, they investigate the world around them, discovering and
    growing their learning. They learn about cause and effect, use prior
    knowledge to build new knowledge and problem solve.  Children learn
    from each other as they interact and seek new information. Teachers
    guide children’s learning experiences by asking open ended questions to
    expand their thinking. Daily STEAM activities are opportunities for children to explore and learn about Science, Technology, Engineering Art and Math.
