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 focus on play-based education year-round for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. The Beehive is located on the 3rd floor of Republic Plaza’s annex building - located adjacent to Guild’s office spaces - and can 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’ve invested 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.

A mother’s room is part of the floor plan, enabling parents to nurse or feed babies throughout the day, as needed.
