Our daycare shut down during COVID and we needed to find someone new ASAP. Honey tree was great about taking our kids in and making us feel like family. My son has now graduated and my daughter is still enrolled. We couldn't be happier this is where we ended up. My son is in kindergarten now and is in the highest achievement group. I credit this entirely to Honey Tree and their Pre-K program and how they work with their kids.

I was so nervous for my son to be at a preschool but Im really happy I choose HTP. I love the interaction that my baby has with his teachers and the other children at the school. This has been a huge help in his development physically and socially. Thanks HTP

My child has grown very well since he started Honey Tree. He is a lot more social since going there. He has always been home with only adults and around children when went birthday parties or other events. He is very outspoken now too. He also knows so many more songs.

My daughter, now 4.5, has been at Honeytree since she was 6 months old. She has learned so much and I could not be happier. The teachers are wonderful and patient. And the assistant director Katie has become like family. Best decision I ever made.

Since my daughter has join the infant class at Honeytree she has progressed so much! Her first week there she learned how to start crawling, over the last three months she is starting to use more words, learning how to express her self, and attempting to take her first couple steps.The communication has always been excellent Between me and her teachers. Another thing I appreciate is the security compared to other daycare locations that I have visited.
