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.

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. ☺️

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!

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.

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! 😊

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!!!

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:)

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

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.

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.

Parents beware. They use ipads with the babies. I informed the director that I saw this happening and ACCORDING to the American Academy of Pediatrics kids under two should not have any screen time at all. She told me that according to her research it's safe and beneficial. The child I saw using the iPad was about 8 months old. I can't believe she expected me to believe the classroom teacher only uses it for five minutes at a time bc when I witnessed the teacher handing it to the baby she put on telletubbies for him. Also don't forget to label your bottles if you forget to label one bottle one day, the teacher takes it upon herself to write the child's name in sharpie marker on the bottle. And finally, a daycare is supposed to help your baby get on a good nap schedule and they did not even try. Instead the teacher told me that my child was tough. Yes she has trouble falling asleep but their setting is not good for the babies. It's essentially one open class room with half walls dividing the rooms, so it's too loud, but apparently that makes my kid "tough."
