About The Beehive

The Beehive is an Early Childhood Education Center that fosters a love of learning, curiosity and a sense of community in the heart of downtown Denver. In the light-filled beautifully designed space we will focus on play-based education year-round for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. The Beehive is located on the 3rd floor of Republic Plaza’s annex building - located adjacent to Guild’s office spaces - and will serve up to 82 children.

Guild is thinking differently about childcare and preschool for our employees. We aim to ensure that employees feel empowered to have audacious goals for both their careers and their families. We’re investing in on-site childcare to help Denver-based Guilders more successfully integrate work and family, in addition to creating a caring environment in which employees’ children thrive.

The program is year-round and play-based in nature. Teacher to child ratios and group sizes exceed the bar set by licensing. In particular, our infant rooms will have 10 infants and 3 dedicated caregivers.

The Beehive has an adjacent outdoor patio space that is used for outdoor play for children throughout the day, in addition to a large multi-purpose room with an accordion wall that, when open, creates a large indoor-outdoor gross motor play space. A mother’s room is part of the floor plan, enabling parents to nurse children throughout the day, as needed.
