My 1.5yr old has been thriving at HTP in Wilton! We have been so impressed with everything she has learned from her amazing teachers (she has moved up through 3 different classes since joining as an infant). Ms. Kenya made us feel so comfortable when we first joined as this was our first experience with daycare. Ms. Priya & Ms. Nylah were so incredibly sweet in the next class really teaching her about the classroom/expectations where she started to thrive and now my daughter talks non stop about her teacher Ms. Keegan who she loves. She has been learning SO much in class! Shout out to Ms. G who is beyond wonderful as well. The Wilton director Ms. Sue has been above and beyond supportive and responsive, as has Ms. Danielle. We were nervous to start at a daycare, but they truly eased all of our worries and we have been so impressed with the curriculum and progress our daughter has made. She loves going to school!! Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

My daughter started at this daycare when she was 2 years old. In the beginning it wasn’t easy for her, but thanks to the wonderful teachers — especially Ms. Cherie and Ms. Ana — she quickly began to feel safe and happy. Now she absolutely loves her teacher!

My daughter is bilingual, and it’s amazing to see how much progress she has made in just three months — how much she has learned and how confidently she communicates.

What I appreciate the most is Ms. Cherie’s incredible dedication and hard work. She is truly an angel. Every day the children have great activities, and we receive detailed daily reports, which I love. There is also a live camera, so I always feel connected and confident that my daughter is in good hands.

I also want to mention that the owner is a very kind and warm person, always helpful and welcoming, which makes the daycare feel even more special.

I’m very satisfied with this daycare and would definitely choose it again. Highly recommended!

We switched here from another daycare with many concerns. We met with Rita and she eased all of our worries. She is very commutative and supportive. I am very happy we switched and our son is thriving. He loves going outside and doing arts and crafts.

Searching for the right childcare for your family can be difficult. We had tried corporate daycares and Nannies before we found Honey Tree. Our experience with Honey Tree Preschool was exceptional. We have had 4 children enrolled in this preschool and have referred many friends and families over the years. Their teachers are professional and compassionate. They maintain a clean, safe, nurturing environment which allows for an equal mix of learning and playing. The teachers provide regular communication for the parents regarding developmental progress, activities, and issues. The owner, Danielle, has created a positive work environment and a family culture. Our family has developed friendships at Honey Tree that we have maintained throughout the years. I would highly recommend this childcare facility.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Vicky!!! You know how much we love you guys! So grateful for your support. We will see you soon!!!

My daughter was 2.2 years old when she started with Honey tree. I was super anxious so decided to send her part-time. We are at a point now where she throws tantrums to go to school on her days off. She absolutely loves being there.

They have provided us camera access which is the best thing so far. I can see if she is finishing up her meals or if she is sleeping throughout her nap time.
Response from the owner:Kanwal, thank you for your 5 star review. We absolutely adore your daughter and your family. She is such a joy. We are so grateful to have her in our Garden Bees class.

The recent one star reviews are due to a disgruntled employee. There's a reason there are no comments on them. That's because none of these people have actually sent their child here. I have sent my son JoJo here for 2 years and he loves it. It's clean and the caregivers are so attentive. It's nice to have a place where I know he's safe and happy. I have Mom guilt for dropping him off at daycare while I work, but knowing he's well taken care of and has lots of fun makes me super comfortable. Highly recommend. Don't trust random 1 star reviews from people who didn't send their child here. Listen to the people who know!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5-star Review Amy! We are so very grateful! What a day!

Fantastic school of 2+ decades that has a warm and welcoming environment! The owner, Danielle, is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. She is always smiling and in an upbeat mood. The Director, Sam, is also wonderful. She is smart, quick to help whenever she is needed, and loves the kids like they are her own.
(Shame on anyone who recruits literal strangers to leave negative & FAKE reviews. If your experience was so bad, why did you beg for your job back?)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words. We love your whole family!!!

We recently enrolled our 2-year-old at Honey Tree this fall, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience so far! The staff go above and beyond, providing everything with such care and a personal touch. From the moment we stepped inside for a tour, Honey Tree felt different from other daycares—it was an easy choice for us. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves it here. It’s heartwarming to see how every employee knows him by name and makes him feel so welcome. Miss Sue, the director, runs the center smoothly and played a key role in our decision to enroll. She is exceptional. His teacher, Miss Janell, is amazing with the kids, and the entire team is attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being and development. And as a cherry on top, they also organize events for parents to connect as well as babysitting nights which is a huge plus! Highly recommend Honey Tree! 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Taylor! We are so grateful you feel at home at Honey Tree. We love Ms. Sue and Ms. Janell too!!! We are so delighted to have you and your family as part of the HIVE!!! And, omg... his smile!!! Priceless!

We love Honeytree. Our 2 year old son has been attending since the summer and our 4 month old will be starting there soon. Moving from Brooklyn where we loved our daycare, I was heartbroken for my son to start somewhere new, but he absolutely loves Honeytree and so do we. The curriculum is fantastic, the teachers are so kind and fun (hi Miss Luisa!), the communication has been excellent and most importantly our son loves it there. We never worry about his safety and if we ever have a question or need anything, Sue and her team are always helpful. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:I cannot belive I missed this! What an amazing review, Thank you!!! We absolutely love your family! Its been amazing watching them grow!
Response from the owner:Thank you SO MUCH for your 4-star review it means the world to use to know how happy your are with our school!!!

Our child started at Honey Tree in Wilton when he was 5 months old, and he is about to turn 2! It has been an amazing experience for us. He loves his teachers and his friends, and we know when we drop him off that he will be safe and happy. The photos and videos that we get throughout the day through the app help us feel connected and bring joy to my day. One of my worries about daycare before we started was whether having less individualized attention would impact his development. Quite the opposite! He is exceeding his developmental milestones, and the opportunity to engage with peers has been amazing for his social-emotional growth, particularly as an only child. The curriculum used at the school is well-rounded and promotes learning through play. I also love that they prioritize outdoor time every day unless the weather is particularly bad. The summer program is even more exciting with special events like Water Wednesdays, visits from animal friends, and foam parties! We are looking forward to continuing at Honey Tree until we transition to public school, and we know it will be a hard goodbye!
Response from the owner:A really hard good by indeed!!! Thank you so much for your incredible review. We love you guys!!!
Can’t say enough wonderful things about Honey Tree! From experience in the infant rooms, up to the toddler rooms and preschool, every day our child is surrounded by amazing, caring teachers and friends. The teachers are truly so compassionate and skilled in what they do.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Colleen! You review means everything to us! We are so grateful!!!

Our daughter has been going to Honeytree since she was 3 months. She is now nearly 2 and we are thrilled with the care she is receiving and the strides she is making in her development. She regularly comes home with new skills her teachers have helped her with! We look forward to enrolling our second child in a few months!
Response from the owner:And now you have 2!!! Time flies! We love having your family here! Thank you for allowing us the chance to be a part of your girls' growth!

We found Honey Tree in the middle of the Pandemic when moving to Wilton and it has been a great addition to our family. It is a family run daycare, Pre-School and Pre-K and they’ve always made our two girls feel right at home while preparing them well for kindergarten. The teachers, staff and management are all great with the kids and there’s always been lots of fun and structured activities and field trips both during the school day and beyond. With Ice-cream Socials, Trick or Trunks, Parent’s Night Out and Christmas concerts. They’ve been a huge part of our community and in helping us all forge new friendships. Our family LOVES Honey Tree!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review on HTP. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to have your family as a cherished part of the Honey Tree family. It has been a joy spending the last few years with the girls, and we look forward to many more happy moments together. Your support means the world to us!

Our daughter started at Honeytree when she was just 5 months old. I was a wreck about it and from the beginning all of the staff put me at ease. Now, a year later, they still follow her schedule exactly, send tons of pictures and videos and communicate everything to me daily. Everyone knows her name and I feel like she is genuinely liked (and loved) by all of the teachers and staff. We also love that they use a curriculum, even with their smallest learners. The day is structured and fun and I can see how much our daughter is learning everyday. We are so grateful to that they are a part of our lives.
Response from the owner:Hi Alyson! Thank you for a great review. We love your little girl and are so happy you are part of the HTP family!!!

My son has attended Honey Tree for almost two years. He loves it there and we've had a great experience, especially since Sue joined the administrative team. I love the app (updates, photos, messaging) and being able to watch a live stream of his class. The teachers have all been responsive, caring, and really get to know him. Any time I've communicated a concern or question, it gets addressed quickly and appropriately. I appreciate that they prioritize outside time and play in addition to crafts and learning.
Response from the owner:Hi Emily - Thank you so much for your review! We can't believe that it has almost been 2 years, time flies. Ms. Sue was an amazing addition to the team. We are so happy that you are enjoying your HTP experience with Sue and the rest of our amazing teachers!

Honey Tree was our first experience with daycare, we sent our 11month old son there. From the moment we visited we felt loved, cared for, and knew we were at the best place for our son. Every one of our son’s teachers was attentive, and I was able to reach them at any time during the day if need be. Everyday they filled our son’s day with fun activities, sensory playtime and outdoor fun.
There is warmth and safety from the community at Honey Tree, and it is an excellent choice when considering daycare.

We have sent our son to honey tree for our 2 years, starting in the infant room with Ms Amy. I was very worried about my 3 month old being away from me, but Ms Amy took all of those worries away. I was completely comfortable leaving my son in the care of honey tree after seeing how much the teachers care about the kids. All of the teachers treat each kid like they are theirs. I love that they have cameras so I can always see what he is doing, as well as daily updates and pictures! My son is now in preschool, and has loved every teacher of his and is constantly talking about his friends. I cannot imagine sending my child anywhere else. We are grateful for every teacher at Honey Tree!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Hayley! We love having you guys here! You truly are a part of our family... I cannot imagine not seeing your son everyday! He has got so much spunk! Makes me smile all of the time.... well almost all of the time... hehehe. Love that kid!

I certainly recommend Honey Tree! My daughter, who is now two, started going this summer and got to know many members of the wonderful and friendly staff. She has grown so much in the short time she has been there, especially in her independence and socialization. She enjoys going to school to see her friends and teachers and I appreciate the updates, open communication, and daily photos.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much Lorin! We absolutely adore your daughter! She fit right in from day one! And we also love her big sister too! I am delighted to hear about her independence and socialization... those are two areas HTP really concentrates. We are grateful to have your family as part of ours!

My child has grown so much from starting at Honey tree. She is much more social, her verbal skills have expanded and she is able to play w other children. She is an only child so this was incredibly important to us. Their flexibility has been a godsend for me who is a healthcare worker and my schedule often changes. Thank you so much!!
Response from the owner:Thank you Jessica.... we just loving hearing that girl talk away. She is so fun! And, what a good friend she is to all her classmates! We especially love her smile and those quizzical eyebrows! You never have to know where you stand with that girl. Thank you for choosing HTP and for being such a great part of our family.

Choosing HoneyTree Wilton as our daughter's daycare was the best decision we could have made. There were lots options in the area and this was a no-brainer. I cannot recommend their newborn teacher, Mrs. Amy highly enough. I felt zero nerves about leaving our daughter with her at 4 months old. Now 2, every caregiver in the building knows her by name and vice versa. They know her personality, what makes her laugh, and she's grown so much in her short time there. She knows sign language, her ABC's, how to count, tons of songs and books, the names of all of her friends and teachers and she's so social and talkative and it's all thanks to HoneyTree and her teachers. We love that we can see what she's up to during the day and that everyone is so communicative and quick to respond if we have a question about anything. Their handling of the pandemic was also unmatched and during a time of such anxiety and uncertainty, HoneyTree was one of the few things that remained steady and safe throughout.
Response from the owner:Annmarie, I just got goosebumps reading this and remembering the early days of Covid. What a crazy time! We are so happy to have stayed open and glad you feel we did it so well. THANK YOU for letting us know, As for that girl... she is going to be mayor one day! She is just the most social thing. We are delighted you chose HTP and even more thrilled to have you as part of the family for so long! Thank you so much for your 5 star review!

We are so happy that we found Honey Tree after moving to Ridgefield. Everyone that works there has been so kind and caring, our son has come so far in just a short period! We love knowing he is having so much fun and learning everyday.
Response from the owner:Caitlin, We are so happy you found us too!!!! We love having him here - everyone loves on that boy.... and we're walking!!! Can you believe it? So fun being a part of each step (no pun intended) of his growth. Thank you for being part of our family!!! And for the 5 star review too!
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Brittany! We absolutely love having you guys as part of the Honey Tree family! It is crazy to think it's only been since the beginning of Covid, it feels like we've know you all forever! Miss that guy at now he's at school. Delighted he is doing so well. He is one smart cookie - as is his sister! Thank you again!

Can't say enough good thing about honeytree. My oldest started at 10mo old with Ms. Katie. Both my boys have enjoyed every minute at honey tree. The teachers are amazing and have taught my boys so much.
Response from the owner:We are loving EVERY MINUTE of having the boys here too!!! Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure having you all as part of the family for the past 4 and a half years!!!! Glad to have experienced both boys learn and grow. Looking forward to a couple more years together.

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.
Response from the owner:Oh my goodness AMY.... can you imagine if you chose a different school??? We are so happy you decided to come to Honey Tree. What would we have done without our peach? We love having you all as part of the fam. And, I know Katie and the rest of us are going to lose it when she goes to Kindergarten. Thank you for your review!

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.
Response from the owner:We do sing A LOT!!! We just love it! He has really come out of his shell - so FUN to see!!!! We are delighted to have that ADORABLE little boy at Honey Tree! We love having you all as part of the HOney Tree Family! Thank you for your 5 star review!
My son began attending Honey Tree Preschool in March 2021. He had attended another daycare for a few weeks, and he was so unhappy there, it was so stressful for us as parents to send him every day. We did some research to find another school, and landed on Honey Tree in Monroe. From day ONE it has been a completely different experience. The teachers and staff are loving, kind and compassionate. They have been nothing but WONDERFUL with my son, and he loves going every day. Honey Tree also has such an amazing curriculum. Every week they come up with such creative and fun ways for the kids to learn through play. My son has learned so much, and is being exposed to so many exciting new things, thanks to Honey Tree. The warmth that we feel the moment we step into the door is reflected by every single person who works there. Communication is superb, and they send pictures throughout the day along with notes about what's going on with my son, so we are always in the know. I can't say enough good things about Honey Tree! Your kid(s) will love it there.
Response from the owner:Wow Marissa! Thank you so much for the praise. Your son is a ray of sunshine with that smile!!! We love having him in school and are grateful for you all! We are having so much fun learning and growing and are delighted you feel it is working!!! Looking forward to an awesome summer filled with fun and hopefully some family events so everyone can meet each other. It has been a crazy year!!!

Honey Tree is a great daycare/preschool. They have great technology to be able to keep up with your little one, daily communication with the teachers and staff. Everyone is really friendly! We really like how despite COVID, they make a great effort to host covid safe events for parents and kids, so we can get to know each other. They also have parent night, ice-cream socials, etc. It's a great facility and I would recommend it to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Pilar! We are grateful to have you as part of our family! So happy we are nearing the end of the Covid 19 year. Hopefully we will have more fun family and social events soon!!!!

Miss Dymond in the infant room is wonderful 🙌🏻. Without her the process of sending an infant to daycare during covid would have been a lot harder. She truly is a baby whisperer. Miss Katie and the rest of the staff are all wonderful. They keep communication high and have handled the pandemic very well. I also like all of the activities they do with the kids. And it is a great value.. most places charge for early or late arrivals. They are 7-6 and drop and pick up anytime. Very happy and kind of feels like leaving our son with family. ☺️
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Christine!!! We feel like you guys are part of the family too!!! And, YES!!! We love Md. Dymond too. I love 'the baby whisperer' cannot wait to share!!!
HoneyTree has been the most incredible experience for my child and our family. All of the staff are so caring, attentive and loving towards the children. My baby's face would light up every day at dropoff regardless of who was taking her on the other end. They take the time to get to know you, your family and all of the needs of your child(ren). And most importantly, I feel my child is safe and well cared for.

One of my favorite things is that there is an incredible amount of communication throughout the day and so many pictures of my child enjoying her time there. The Brightwheel app that they use to communicate with parents is seamless and super easy to work with. You also have unlimited access to your child's classroom camera so you can see your child live if you're missing them. I find that I actually don't look at it too much because of the amount of communication throughout the day through Brightwheel.

I have to give a special shoutout to Mrs. Amy who loves our baby just as much as we do. She makes their days SO fun - so much so, that I'm pretty sure my baby is bored when she's with us! I swear she has helped teach me how to be a parent.

Don't hesitate, enroll your child(ren) here - you won't regret it!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Rachel! We try really hard to make it a home away from home for the children and as easy and stress free as possible for you guys. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us the thumbs up! And thank you for choosing Honey Tree.
HoneyTree is amazing! Our daughter talks about her friends and teachers constantly, is always so excited to go to school, and has flourished so much socially and developmentally since we started there. You can tell the teachers really love the kids- they don’t just “watch” them, they really play WITH them, and are truly engaging and warm. I also love that we receive photos and video updates throughout the day as well as the live video. We are so thankful to have such a safe and loving space for our daughter to grow.
Response from the owner:Karla, Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We love having you guys here! I agree what a social little butterfly and a smart cookie! Thank you again

Honey Tree is my kids second home! My daughter started at 6 weeks old in the infant room and is now 4 in the preschool room and my son is now in the infant room. When I had my daughter I was commuting to work and having the hours at HoneyTree (and the proximity to my home) was the initial selling factor because I could drop at 7am and pickup until 6pm. But now HoneyTree is much more than that and is more like a second home for my kids. They feel safe and happy and the staff genuinely loves all the kids and makes you feel like your child is loved and important to them and keeps in communication as to how their day has been and sends pictures. There is also a secure login into your childs class room so you can periodically check in to see them as you wish. When Covid first spiked the fear of sending my child to school was a constant struggle for me but HoneyTree worked really hard to keep in touch with the state and follow all the rules to ensure my child (and now children) are safe. While I miss being able to go into school and see my childs rooms and artwork and the things she plays with I know it is for the well-being of all our kids. My daughters friends truly mean the world to her and she has grown in ways I know would have been hindered had I kept her home the past year while trying to work remotely. I feel comfortable and confident in being able to reach out to the owner, the director, or the staff if I have any questions or just feel the need to check in (which I am known to do a lot lol). I know that I can trust them to keep me in the loop and to make my kids feel so much love when I can't be with them. The teachers (especially the infant and woddler room teachers) have so much fun and so much energy that my son probably has more fun there then at home with his boring mom lol. From arts and crafts to fun baby photo shoots, they give me lasting memories that make me feel included in his day.
I can't say enough about the HoneyTreee Family and am always willing to be an ear for other families new to or considering the HoneyTree family!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Jessica! We are abundantly grateful to have your family as part of ours... and those faces!!! The smiles from both of your children light up our day - every day!!! It has been our continued pleasure to watch them grow. Both were so little when they started and now are reaching milestones all the time. And, having the science birthday here with classmates was a genius idea! THANK YOU for all your support! Kaia, Danielle and everyone at HTP

My family and I couldn’t be more grateful and glad that we chose to bring our son to Honey Tree Preschool!! At first I was nervous adjusting our 4 month old son to childcare but we were quickly relieved after touring the school and meeting the wonderful caregivers. Our son has never slept better after a full day of fun and playtime. The social skills, fun activities and over all quality care that he receives there has over exceeded our expectations!! I also LOVE how we get frequent updates on his day as well as wonderful videos and pictures on how his day is going! I feel like we are able to enjoy the moments with him. Mrs Amy and Ms Danielle are truly angels and have a way with the infants and woddlers that makes them feel right at home! Thank You Honey Tree for the peace of mind you give our family and total Joy that our son experiences each day he is there!! Our family looks forward to many years of continued growth and development. We highly recommend you to anyone seeking care for their child.
Response from the owner:Julie,
My heart melted when I read this. I am filled with pride knowing you feel we are exceeding the expectations you and your family had. Our teacher love what they do and it shows!!! We are extremely grateful you guys are part of the HTP Family!!!! I look forward to lots and lots of learning, growing and creating!!! The best is yet to come!!! And, when the world goes back to some sort of new normal - to enjoying family events where we can all be together! Sincerely Kaia, Danielle and the HTP Team/Family

We’ve been with Honey Tree for almost 1 year. Our (now) 3 year old son loves it! We are always amazed at how much he learns everyday. The teachers and staff are great. Honey Tree has been very flexible and accommodating. We started with half-days, and now do full time. We were so lucky they stayed open through COVID.
Response from the owner:Thank you Raj! We love having your family as part of the HTP one! We have noticed so many milestones for your son during this (crazy) year! He is flourishing and we are loving his light sense of humor and awesome love for exploring! So grateful to be a part of his experiences - his enthusiasm is priceless. Thank you again! Kaia, Danielle and the HTP family!!!

Our daughter has been attending Honey Tree in Wilton since she was 4 months old!!! I'm sure it's never easy leaving a newborn with strangers, but the Honey Tree staff made it so comfortable. With continuous communication via their messaging portal, all the photos/videos, plus the livestream feature -- I was able to relax knowing my baby was in good hands. Special thank you to Amy in the infant room for her extra care and compassion from day 1. Not to mention all the thought, effort and energy they put into surviving covid conditions... a true gem of an establishment!! We love you guys!!!! <3
Response from the owner:Sahara - THANK YOU! It's been an interesting year to say the least! We have been blessed in so many ways during this crazy time. Watching your little one sprout has been one of the highlights! She was so little and now is such a little lady! We are loving being a part of it all. We love you too!

We have two daughters at Honey Tree in Wilton. 1 and 3 years old. It's a perfect location for us, right off rt.7. When I was commuting to NYC, I could drop them off then jump on the train right down the street. Honey Tree is very flexible on timing of pickup and drop off. Some daycares are more stringent about that and have designated times.

The staff and teachers are all very friendly and communicative. They take pictures and videos throughout the day so we can see what they're playing with or working on. When our 3 y/o gets in bed, she asks to look at my phone and says "Can I see what I did today?"

I know they take really great care of our daughters and we are so grateful, especially during this hectic time.
Response from the owner:John.... I did not know about the bedtime routine and I can just picture it!!! Gosh I love that girl and her sister of course - who played peek-a-boo with me this morning with such a straight face until she graced me with her precious smile!!! I know you know how much we love having you all here (!!!) and are grateful to know you guys are as happy as we are to be a part of the HTP Family!!! Thank you so much for your review and kind words. And for the 'let me see what I did' quote - I will recommend this to some of the other parents....especially for those first few days of school. What great bonding time! : ) Kaia, Danielle and the HTP Family

Honey Tree has been a wonderful daycare for our toddler since we relocated to Connecticut. The teachers are so loving to our sweet boy and provide him individualized attention in a way that we didn't experience with a previous corporate daycare that we were enrolled with. The staff is extremely communicative and I feel a great sense of comfort leaving him in their hands. Additionally, the activities and socialization he gets at Honey Tree are far greater than anything we could provide at home! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Allison, thank you so much for your thoughtful words! We are so grateful to have you guys as part of the Honey Tree Family! Looking forward to post-covid when we can have social events with families and you can meet more parents, etc! Happy Weekend!

My daughter has gone here since she was about a year old. She always comes home to show what she learned from her day. Also, learns how to make friends! She loves to tell me about her new BFF lol. Honey Tree is always clean and the staff are always smiling and plaesed to help when I arrive to pick her up.

I have had kids at Honey Tree for almost five years now for multiple children, infant to pre-k. Knowing my child is spending the majority of their day there, I have always felt like they are safe, happy, and engaged. The teachers and staff are solid communicators and genuinely care for the children. This is the place to go if you want your kid to go through the doors excited for their day.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jodi!!! We are excited for the day too! We cannot wait to see your little guy each day! And the 'big' kids on school holidays, etc. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for choosing Honey Tree for your family! We love having you as part of ours!

We can't say enough positive things about Honey Tree. In the simplist terms, it feels like 'family'. They have been our support network through the past year and have cared for our daughter as if she was their own. Thank you Honey Tree for ALL that you do!!
Response from the owner:Thank you John! We are delighted to know you feel like Family! That is exactly our goal!!! We love having you guys as part of the HTP family (as if you didn't know!). I am grateful to be a part of your support network. What a year!!! We are ALWAYS here for you guys. Hoping 2021 is filled with lemonade - and no more lemons. hehe. Love you guys, Kaia, Danielle and the HTP Family

We toured a few daycares in the area for our daughter. HoneyTree came highly recommended from a friend, and after meeting with Danielle/Kaia and taking a tour to chat with the teachers, it was an easy decision (and one we couldn’t be happier we made). All of the teachers truly care for the kids and are very professional. We receive real time communication with updates, needs and pictures of activities. During the pandemic, HoneyTree went above and beyond to be as accommodating as possible and creating a safe/comfortable environment. We are so excited to see how our daughter progresses in the future while being at HoneyTree. Thank you all so much for all that you do.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Matt! We love having you guys as part of the HTP Family!!! You know how much we love your daughter - she is such a ray of sunshine. You can tell how much fun she is when you walk into the classroom - it's like she wants you to come have fun with her when she looks up at us with those eye and that genuine smile!!! And of course we join right in!!! We look forward to all her milestones! What a pleasure! : ) Kaia, Danielle and the HTP Family

My family has had such a great experience in Honey Tree! When I found myself in need of childcare, multiple close friends recommended this daycare. My son started when he was 3 months old and had a wonderful transition. The space is safe and clean! The teachers are warm and kind! They have an app where you get updates on how the day is going -- pictures, videos, and notes about naps/feedings/etc. Communication with the teacher and/or director is really easy and they are so responsive. 100% recommend Honey Tree for anyone seeking infant childcare!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Parvin!!! You should let us know who recommended us to you - I would love to thank them! We are so grateful you chose Honey Tree and to have you as part of the family!!!

I have only been a part of their family for a few months, but have nothing but great things to say. They have been professional, but extremely warm and welcoming. My daughter has yet to shed one tear at drop off or pickup and enjoyed every moment there. They are very communicative and professional, and has been a joy to work with. Thank you so much!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Kazuko! We love having you guys here! And we are so happy your daughter is tear-less! She is a ray of sunshine in the classroom and we are so happy you chose Honey Tree. We just love having you as part of the HTP Family!!!

We joined the Honey tree family about 5 months ago and couldn't be happier. We were nervous about moving our son from his previous daycare because of his established friends and routine, which proved not to be an is issue at all because Honey Tree's faculty made that change easy for our son. I honestly feel he is learning more than he ever did. The staff maintains kids engaged in learning activities that promote independence.The communication from the staff is excellent. There are several updates throughout the day with pictures of the children performing activities. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a daycare/preschool to consider Honey tree. It's been a home run for our family!
Response from the owner:Ray, THANK YOU!!! We just love having you guys here! We have as much fun as the kids do!!! I am so happy he transitioned so well. Thank you for being a part of the HTP Family!!!

Honey Tree has been a lifeline for us in these extremely difficult times. We enrolled our daughter there in summer 2020 and were quickly made comfortable by the professional, caring staff. The protocols in place during covid are followed methodically by the teachers and children. We receive routine updates throughout the day and are able to follow along on live feed if we wish. Our daughter has made great strides in her speech and motor skills. And her interpersonal skills have benefited vastly from being enrolled at Honey Tree. Couldn’t be any happier with our decision to go with Honey Tree.
Response from the owner:Alex, we could not be happier either! We love having you guys as part of the HTP family! THANK YOU for such kind words - we try really hard and I am glad it shows!!! Again, thank you!!!!

Can’t say enough good things about HTP! We have been so happy since we started here almost two years ago. We have had daycare experience elsewhere for the past 7 years and nowhere compares to HTP. It really is like a family there. Feels like every teacher there knows my children even if they haven’t had them in their class. The teachers are caring and attentive and always friendly, including directors Danielle and Kaia. Their standards are very high - especially when it comes to cleanliness and keeping everyone safe. My children also love the “extras” like Pizza Wednesdays, Jump Bunch Spaghetti Eddie. Hybrid Help for my elementary age child was a lifesaver this year too!! I highly recommend HTP as a home away from home for your littles during the workday!
Response from the owner:Thank you Katie! Of course everyone knows your children! They are just the best!!! We do try really hard and I am so glad you think it is working. We absolutely LOVE having you all as part of the family. Looking forward to a couple more years!!!

We love Honey Tree!! My son lights up every morning when I say we're going to school. He's always smiling when I drop him off and pick him up.. it's such an amazing feeling seeing him so happy and knowing he's in such great care. I can't thank Ms Chris and all the wonderful teachers there enough. I'm constantly in the loop about how he's doing throughout the day. I love getting all the pictures and videos while I'm at work. So happy to be part of their community and to know my son is so happy and well cared for throughout the day.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Andrea! We light up too! What a cutie! We are glad you feel like you are in the loop. It is so important to us to make your day a little brighter with pictures, etc. THANK YOU again for taking the time to write a review.

Our family loves the Honey Tree! We started at the Honey Tree 5 months ago after moving to CT from NYC. Kaia and her team are awesome with our son who is 7 months old and our daughter who is 3. Their COVID protocols are very strict and we feel very safe leaving our kids there everyday. Looking forward to many great years at the Honey Tree.
Response from the owner:Michael, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! We are so happy you guys chose Honey Tree! We just LOVE the children! We look forward to seeing those big beautiful smiles every day! Can you believe how much they have grown? We can't! We are just so blessed to have you guys as part of the HTP family!!!

I have 3 kids and this is by far the best daycare any of them have been to! My youngest currently goes their and he’s been there since he was a few months old. The teachers and management all have great communication skills and are so sweet and just so genuinely caring! The technology is also amazing being able to access live feed camera footage at anytime and receiving pictures through out the day and being able to stay in constant communication with the teachers through their app. It’s just amazing and I’m so happy to be apart of the Honeytree family! 😊
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Emily! We just love having you guys here!!!
We came to Honey tree from another daycare facility and have had a great experience. Our twins are having an amazing time and are occupied all day long! We love being able to check on them at any time, the constant updates from the app, the outside time, and the themed weeks! The owner and assistant director were so nice and welcoming. The teachers are excellent and the communication between the staff and parents is superior to any child care facility that I’ve come across. Thank you HoneyTree!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Jessica! We love having the twins here. We are delighted to have you as part of our family!

Thank you all SO MUCH for everything!!

Honeytree preschool is a family of teachers and daycare staff who are genuinely dedicated to the children and babies. My 3 children have all gone through Honeytree for the past decade and had a wonderful experience. They participated in extra weekly activities such as music, art, and gym. The teachers communicate daily through an awesome home-school website which sends a message and photos! I have saved many of these emails as part of my children’s memory books. Honeytree always has great holiday events such as the Halloween party and Christmas concert too. The teachers are all kind hearted, talented people who give their best to make sure your child has a good day. My children came home each day with a smile and lots of beautiful crafts. They all have fond memories of their early childhood days. Honeytree is a second home. I highly recommend it:)
Response from the owner:Bree, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your review. Time flew by while all of your children were here. They are so big now. It's hard to believe. And, you know we just love having you all here. Thank you too for painting our Mural. We just adore it.

We have been at honeytree for almost 9 years now. And like anywhere else you will always have some turnover, but there are a handful of teachers that have been there since the beginning. THAT is the reason we have stayed so long. Those handful have been so good to our children over the years, not to say the others haven't. But to continue to see the same familiar faces is always a good thing. As much as I will be happy to make my last payment this coming may after putting 3 children through, I will miss them there!! P.S. i will still call randomly when in a bind for early morning drop off or after school!! Thanks again
Response from the owner:Thank you SO MUCH Steve! We love having all of your children here. I cannot believe we are looking at another Preschool Graduation in the future. Honestly, I am not ready! You guys are going to have to visit - we will miss you all too much!
My daughter love the Honey Tree!
Response from the owner:Thank you Lindsey! We love her too!
Our daughter Sophia started at Honey Tree when she was 6 weeks old. She loved seeing her teachers and friends everyday. Honey Tree took very good care of her and guided her through the first couple years of learning and play. All the teachers and staff were so great with Sophia and made us feel at ease with great communication. We loved the video streaming of the classrooms and the daily emails with photos. This just confirmed how much fun Sophia was having every day! We highly recommended Honey Tree to anyone looking for a loving and caring environment.
Response from the owner:Krisztina, Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We just LOVE having your family here. We look forward to seeing that shiney, smily face and hearing her talk about... well, anything. What a character!!!

My son has been attending Honey Tree since he was 3 months old and is now turning 2. We’ve had a wonderful experience the entire time. The teachers are warm and genuinely caring - my son adores them and there’s nothing that gives me more confidence than seeing how happy he is to see them every morning. Grace, the assistant direct at Wilton, is the true gem of the institution. She runs a tight ship, but as adored by teachers and children alike. I have always been an advocate of daycare (as opposed to other types of childcare), but seeing how my son has blossomed and grown by leaps and bounds as a result of watching modeled behavior by older kids would have been all of the evidence I needed. My family is all very happy with Honey Tree and my son’s care.
Response from the owner:Thank you SO MUCH Jenn! We absolutely LOVE having your family here. We look forward to seeing his smiling face everyday! I agree - he has grown up so much! I love looking back at the pictures from Ms. Amy's Classroom! : )

My family went to HoneyTree for a little over a year and loved it! Its a great preschool environment and the staff is very friendly. They also were really flexible when we needed to have our older child drop in on certain days throughout the school year.

My kids both have allergies and I always felt that they were in good hands when they were at HoneyTree. They accommodated their needs and made every effort to make it easier on us mentally and physically.

Also, they had fun extra activities like an art show, christmas party and graduation ceremonies that made for a great community environment.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Emily! We are so grateful for your 5 star review. We all know how challenging allergy care can be! We are always super diligent. So happy you feel we made it easier for you! That really is what we want to hear! THANK YOU ! Hope the girls are LOVING school! Come visit! Danielle
