I'm very disappointed in the administration's communication with parents. when finding out my daughter was having issues with milk I was told to get a note from her doctor. It was never expressed that I had to have the doctor fill out a specific sheet. once turning in the sheet I was told they would have to have a milk substitute, which I expressed I would have to bring in the following morning if possible. With the school having the note and filled out sheet from my child's doctor I didn't expect my child would be given milk. Boy was I wrong. Ny daughter's health was completely ignored and I was never contacted that the milk substitute had to be turned in right away. I have no issues with the teachers and my daughter loves going there, but if her health and safety aren't going to be considered we're going to have to find an alternative education option.

The staff is truly invested in my child's development. My child's teachers are incredibly kind and caring.

We had a bad experience at Honey tree academy with our son. He started when he was around 17 months old until he is 21 months old when we decided this is enough. During this time he had 2 teachers change. They use outdated methods such as time out “thinking spot” and have poor communication skills in regards to what actually happens. They blamed the kid for his behaviors despite providing no support or helpful solutions. Dealing with administrative staff was especially frustrating. He is doing fantastic since he started at new daycare with no issues at all. I spoke personally with Kim Fielding who stated his behavior is abnormal and aggressive! I educated her on normal psychological development and how to interact with such behaviors but she insisted on time out and removing child from school. He came multiple times with bruises and bites, when asked they report that our kid started first but where is the supervision!! It’s always not Kimberly fielding fault when you talk with her

Extremely dissatisfied. We only attended for a week and a half before pulling our son (2.5 yr old) out of this daycare and still had to pay for 30 days of care after, per the agreement we signed. This type of daycare (learning style) ended up not being a good fit for our son, and I can understand that perhaps their model doesn't fit for everyone. However, there was a serious lack of communication and discussion with us as to what was going on in the classroom that has prompted me to write this, my first review ever. We do not feel that
our child was treated with love and respect. These and other issues left us unhappy with how this daycare was managed and with how children are handled that do not fit into their strict and very structured model. I brought all of these concerns to the director and was given, in my opinion, very unsatisfactory responses.
I don't doubt that this daycare might be fine for some children and families. But it did not work for us and the response from the daycare was extremely unsatisfactory, in our opinion.

We decided to enroll our 8th grader at Branches amid the Covid-19 pandemic because we don't believe she will succeed with hybrid learning.
We are so happy with our decision!! The staff is amazing. Mrs.Oursler truly cares about her students and their success.
I also love that the classes are small (I believe there are 8 in my daughter's class).
There are strict guidelines and rules, but nothing that won't actually benefit a child. Being held accountable, consistency, and monitoring behavior is something many school systems lack these days.

Our son has attended Honeytree Academy for about a year and a half and he loves it. He desires consistency and schedules and he definitely gets them here. The staff and teachers go above and beyond to create a safe, learning environment. We are amazed at the things he learns each week and enjoy watching him grow. The staff communicate promptly to parent questions and try to keep us in the loop with upcoming events and activities. Thank you for all you do for our youth!

Honey Tree has been absolutely amazing for our son. He turned 4 in May and has only been at Honey Tree for 3.5 months at this point and he already knows all of his letters and can write them when asked. He also can write his name and is sounding out letters. We are beyond impressed with the progress he’s made in such a short amount of time. This school is the absolute best choice we could have made for him!

When we decided to move to Wichita, getting our boys enrolled at HoneyTree was one of the first things I did, based on receiving recommendations from family & friends. We’re so glad we did because our boys both love it there! Our four year old even told us that he wants to be a teacher someday.

I’ve had 3 kids, soon to be 4 kids go here. They have a great program and my kids are learning material in a fun and productive way. Their curriculum is wonderfully challenging. My 4 year old is reading already. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love this facility and the teachers that we have been so lucky to have educate our 2 year old! She has come so far in regards to socialization, education, and potty training and we owe it all to the foundation that was built for her at Honey Tree!! Highly recommend!!

I started my 2 yr old at Honeytree part-time a little over a month ago. He had such a hard time at the beginning and his teacher was so wonderful with him. I've been very impressed at how much he has learned already and especially with his speech improving. I love the way they communicate and all the updates I get! It is a lot financially for our family but I think it is worth it for the quality care and education they provide.
