Questions

What families ask us

What ages and hours do you serve?

Children from 2 to 6 years old, in three rooms. Morning schedules run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and the school day runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

How does a visit work?

You sit at the edge of a room on a weekday morning and watch the work cycle, and children are welcome to come along. Afterward the guide and the director answer your questions.

What sets tuition?

Your child's room and age, and the schedule you choose. We don't print figures on this site; they are on our enrollment page, and we go through them with you after a visit.

How is a place held, and how does the waitlist work?

An enrollment agreement and a deposit hold a place, and the deposit goes toward the first month's tuition. When a room is full, families join a waitlist for that room, and offers go out in the order families joined.

Is Beech licensed?

Yes. Beech is licensed as a child care center by Ohio DCY, and our license line is at the foot of every page.

What about photos of my child?

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

What about toilet learning?

In the toddler room, guides support toilet learning at the pace of each child and family. The primary room asks children to manage the toilet on their own, with a guide nearby. If your child is still learning, tell us at the visit and we will talk it through.

What happens on a hard day?

Every child has hard days. A guide stays close, names what the child seems to be feeling in plain words, and gives them time and a quiet place in the room. We tell families at pickup what happened and ask what helps at home.

What is a work cycle?

A long stretch of the morning in which children choose their own work, finish it, put it back and choose again, with no bells and no group activity to interrupt.

Why are the ages mixed?

The primary room holds children from three to five. The youngest learn by watching the eldest, and the eldest deepen what they know by showing it.

Still have a question?

Ask at a visit, or call the school.
