Bringing Childcare back to the basics of play

We take childcare seriously, by bringing it back to the basics of play

Our environment is designed to nurture creativity and development in a screen-free, safe and fun atmosphere. We care for children aged 6 weeks up to 10 years old, providing flexible and reliable childcare options for busy parents.


When you should bring your kids

Anytime you need someone trusted to care for your children, The Hive is here.

The Hive is a flexible, as needed childcare center built for real life. Whether you are working, running errands, heading to an appointment, exercising, hosting out of town visitors, or need coverage during meal times, we make childcare easy.

We are ideal for Mother’s Day Out, date days or date nights, emergency backup care, and those just because moments when you need reliable support.

You can drop off your child up to 15 times per month and you are billed only for the time your child attends. We prorate down to the minute, so you only pay for what you use.

This flexible scheduling is what makes The Hive the place your kids want to bee.

If you want it more bold, more warm, or more sales driven, say the word and I’ll tune it.

What People Say About Us

“Staff was amazing and super helpful. The hourly fee is less than I was paying a teenager to watch my 3 year old. She absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave. We are so excited to have this option nearby so we can grocery shop sans kiddo!!!!”

– Leanne H.,

“Such a blessing for the over worked mom who needs a break here and there. Or the mom who can’t schedule a doctors appointment or dentist appointment because the thought of trying to bring her kids if stressful and overwhelming so instead she just doesnt make appointments. Not to mention the staff is absolutely wonderful! I am also a bit of a helicopter mom so knowing the owners are both pediatric nurses really put my mind at ease.”

– Amber F.,

“Amazing first experience. Convenient. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff and owners!

Here was our initial hesitation— our 4 year old HATES school/daycare. We had to pull him out after not adjusting after 1.5 years. We thought this would go similarly in that he wouldn’t want us to leave, would cry the entire time, etc. NOT THE CASE! He waved bye like it was nothing and had the time of his life. We only had him stay an hour (bc it was his first time) and he was hanging on to the doorframe he wanted to stay so badly. I don’t doubt that the staff played a role in his comfort and confidence levels to make this happen for two very tired parents. We’ll be using the hive frequently. ♥️”

“Brought my son there today so mama could have time to clean the house with no distractions, and the employees/owners were very sweet and friendly. The facility was super cute and clean, and I love how secure it is. The prices are really good, and we even got a cute craft from our 9 month old. Very happy it’s a 2 minute drive from our house! We will be bringing both boys to visit.”

– Julie B.,

“We LOVE taking our son to the Hive! They are so attentive to detail and so caring to the kiddos! Being a nurse myself, I am very strict about safety rules with my son, and this place checks every box from safe infant sleep to allergy plans and advanced AEDs in the facility. I am able to leave him with no worry and both times we’ve gone, he has a had a blast and brought home some super cute artwork. We are so lucky to have the Hive as an option for childcare.”
