Kids First TOO

🐝 CALLING ALL LOCAL MAKERS, CREATORS & SMALL BUSINESSES! 🛍️✨

Something new is buzzing at Kids First TOO! We’re rebranding and reimagining our Bee Hive Gift Shop into the Bee Hive Marketplace — a curated collection of products made and sold by talented people right here in our community. 💛

We’d love to hear from you if you create or sell things like:
🍯 Handmade goods & locally made products
🕯️ Candles, soaps & self-care items
💍 Jewelry & accessories
🎨 Art, prints & home décor
🧶 Crochet, sewn & handcrafted items
🎁 Gifts, seasonal items & fun finds
🐝 Bee, gymnastics or child-inspired creations
✨ Or something totally different we haven't thought of yet!

Here’s the buzz:
🐝 Thousands of people walk through our doors every week! That means built-in foot traffic and eyes on your products seven days a week.
🐝 We’re currently gathering interest — there’s no commitment to fill out the form.
🐝 We anticipate primarily working with makers through consignment, but we're open to wholesale and other arrangements too.
🐝 We’re especially excited about finding local makers, artists, crafters and small businesses we can introduce to the Kids First community.

Have something you think would be perfect for the Bee Hive?
👇 Fill out our Maker Interest Form and show us what you make!

And TAG a local maker or small business below that we need to know about! 🐝💛

Support local. Build community. Bee together.

🚨HALF DAY PRE-K ENROLLMENT OPEN 🚨What if the most important skills your child needs for kindergarten aren’t letters and numbers?

Kindergarten readiness also means learning to listen, follow directions, work independently, regulate emotions, communicate with others and feel confident trying something new—and movement plays a powerful role in developing every one of these skills.

We’re proud to share our featured article in Cincinnati Family Magazine exploring why movement, play and purposeful routines are essential parts of preparing children for school.

This philosophy is at the heart of The HIVE, our half-day, movement-based Pre-K program for children ages 4–5. With daily physical education, kindergarten-readiness instruction, music and movement, Tumble Bees gymnastics, weekly Soccer Shots and small class sizes, children have the space to move, grow and thrive.

Enrollment is open for the 2026–27 school year! Complete our interest form to learn more or request a classroom tour with our Pre-K Coordinator, Tisha:
