Honey Bear Day Care

We had our son in the infant class for about 9 months and we had a great experience. We only took him out and enrolled elsewhere for convenience of logistics with our other kid. Our son was always happy when we dropped him off and picked him up, and the staff communicated well when he needed something. Parking for dropoff in the mornings is somewhat crowded/backed up due to limited spots and only one entrance/exit to the parking lot but it is manageable.

My daughter attended the after school program and came home almost every day stating that she was isolated from the other kids. This literally became an every day event to the point where my 6 year old told me that she believed the teachers did not like her. When I asked ms. Cathy what were the reasons for the isolations there were always holes in her story or lack of knowledge as to what my child actually did. Definitely do not recommend. It is a horrible feeling to feel as tho your child is being mistreated. They did not help her with her homework, it literally was never done even after my request. 0/10

My daughter has been going here going on 4 years now and we never not once have had a problem here! I love the staff they are always so sweet and welcoming. I miss being able to go inside but due to covid that stopped. I like how they are reliable and the before and after school is really convenient for me. We really enjoy the family events they have started doing and feel like they should do them more often. It is sad that after elementary school my daughter will have to stop going here and we will miss it dearly. Thanks honeybear :)

UPDATE!!!!! My daughter, Justice, has attended this daycare for almost 2 years. I visited several daycares before I made my decision to have her attend this one. She absolutely loves it! The directors and the teachers are awesome(I have never had a bad interaction with the directors or any of the teachers)! They have taught her so much. My daugther was barely crawling when she started going here. Now she is walking, talking, and learning things everyday. By 2 years old, the teachers at this daycare taught my chid her letters, numbers up to 13, shapes, colors, and the names and sounds of animals. Her vocabulary is off the chain thanks to the teachers!!! Previously I stated that there needs to be better communicated of illnesses within the daycare. Since then I have noticed a significant improvement. When something is going around the daycare notices are now displayed on the door within a timely manner. I've read several reviews about the daycare being nasty. I can not relate to these comments. Everytime I enter (3-5 times weekly) the daycare and class room is well organized and clean. It may ocassionally smell a little funky sometimes LOL. But anyone with kids knows that once you change a poopy diaper the smell lingers. Other than that, I have no complaints! I plan on keeping my daugther into this daycare until they no longer accept her or she gets kicked out for being bad LOL

Childcare options in this old city are hit n miss for sure. I'd recommend a deep cleaning for this place, brighter lights and for the owner and teachers to undergo training to help them connect better with parents. I felt like my child was just a number the few times we came here. No eye contact, the teachers look tired, worn out and annoyed... the owner's always walking away when you try to talk to her, even if you're asking questions about this new program that SHE always brings up. Ugh... still looking around.
