Meet Our Director

Andrea McFarlane

Hi, I’m Andrea McFarlane! I joined the Clever Bee Academy family in March 2025, and I’m excited to be part of a team that is so committed to children and families.

I’ve been working in early child care since 2009 and bring 16 years of experience in early childhood education. I also hold my Child Development Associate (CDA), and I’m passionate about helping children build strong social, emotional, and cognitive foundations. I truly believe early childhood is one of the most important stages of life, and I love being part of shaping who children become as learners and as people.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy traveling and making new memories with my son. I’m looking forward to supporting your child’s growth and partnering with your family here at Clever Bee Academy!

Our Affordable Child Care Programs on Pearl Road

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. 

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.

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.

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.

School-agers

6 weeks to 17 months

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.

How to Afford Child Care

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.
