The facility is filthy--sticky floors, grimy toys, and a bathroom that looks like it's never been cleaned. No wonder there is a lice outbreak right now! Curriculum is disorganized, with zero structure or learning focus; it's basically chaos. The teachers do their own thing while claiming they write their lessons and follow a program to help. Even books are given in the curriculum and they are not used as parents are told. The "snacks" are cheap. Communication with parents is nonexistent--good luck getting a response without being berated by the front office staff with an attitude. Michelle, Tanny and Annabel are all involved in this. Avoid this place at all costs; it' not worth it.

I have been to this location a few times with my little girl, and I've always enjoyed the experience here! It is the larger location of the two and is run by the wife, Destin, who is just amazing with the kids. Both locations are run out of homes, and this one is inside a subdivision and is a grey two story house. There is no signage outside, but the inside is great! Each room downstairs is dedicated to the kids. The living room has a TV and lots of toys and room for the kids to run around. They have an arts and crafts room, and a baby room with cribs. Both Tommie and Destin are fantastic in that they won't provide any food, or use any items without you telling them they can first. The first home daycare provider we tried was making all kinds of decisions without consulting us which is one of the reasons we left. Both of them also do a great job with working with the babies on hitting their milestones (sitting up, standing, waving, walking) and they work with the older kids on politeness and patience. I always said that the biggest way you can tell if a daycare is a good place is to look at the kids, and every time I've been here the kids have been so genuinely happy. The kids are smiling and laughing and having fun! That is what I've always wanted from a daycare provider, and I'm so grateful to have found it. It is also VERY affordable for anyone who has price compared with any daycares in the area. If you want to ask questions, please feel free to message me here on Yelp and I will reply quickly. My daughter will be with Honey B's for years to come!

Found this place right before Covid hit. I was upset at the last place and was desperately trying…read moreto find a safe, clean, friendly, and good environment for my 1st born to attend daycare. He is now a toddler in their prek prep room and he has learned and grown leaps and bounds. I 100% feel confident in their programs, teachers, and staff. So much so that I just enrolled my 2 month old. It's like having a second family and my kids love everyone there. They come home happy and are excited to go. And while all daycare facilities are not cheap, the money is well spent here. You have video camera access, they have a splash pad for the hot summer months, they have holiday parties and activities- the crafts they make melt my heart. They even have an online prep program for toddlers to introduce them to stem classes in a fun way and is a good balance of introduction to screen time and technology (because let's face it, every kid can work a smart phone and laptop better than we can). Nikki took over as director during Covid and has been above and beyond with protocols and aligning with state and local guidelines. So I didn't feel like my kids weren't safe. She is also extremely friendly, understanding, and communicates wholeheartedly. Kim is in the infant room and I would trust her with my kids lives. Monica is also in there and is sweet, kind, and focus driven on taking care of the little ones. They made me feel comfortable with dropping off my 2 month old and I know she will be in great, capable hands. Amanda is in the 1&1/2-2 year old room and honestly is a life safer. She is firm and helps set the stage for my kids to transition from baby to toddler. She got my son to want to start potty training and do more socializing with other kids and people. He literally blossomed being in her room. Nancy and "Grandma" are in my sons room currently and he "talks" as best as a 2 year old can about the fun activities they do in the room and he sings every song he learns from them. Roxi is the chef there and she is an absolute sweetheart and makes the best balanced meal for the kids. We get a month long menu to see what they eat and it has broadened my sons eating habits. Beyond just chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. My son always looks forward to her hugs and I know my daughter will as well as she grows up at Kids R Kids. I pray we don't have to move too far away from this location as we've established friends and relationships here and want that consistency for our kids. I feel like it's important that they see familiar faces and know they are in a safe. This place checked all my boxes before Covid, during Covid, and this weird phase of Covid we have now. I am excited to watch my kids grow up here and it will be bittersweet when they "graduate" to kindergarten

On November 15, 2022 my son was in the infant room (Suite 150) and was attacked by the teacher he…read morewas smacked and hit on the head multiple times(you will be able to locate this incident on child care licensing website and I will post screenshots) . I was made aware of this incident by the other teacher working in the room. I have a really good relationship with the other teacher she immediately texted me regarding the other teacher hitting my infant in the head. She expressed she did not feel comfortable going to the front desk to report it because often times the front desk is made aware of situations and they like to sweep it under the rug and hide it because they do not want either licensing to find out or the parents. The front desk was eventually made aware of the situation because as soon as I received the news about my infant being attacked I immediately came to the facility and confronted the teacher. The front desk was very nasty about it. No empathy, no remorse, their only concern was "how did I find out". They eventually found out how I knew and retaliated against the teacher by terminating the teacher who reached out to me about the teacher who hit my child. When my husband and I came to the facility later on that day the owner was there at the front desk. The owner did not acknowledge my husband and did not apologize for what happened at his facility he ignored us. Instead of addressing the incident he had his office manager, Ashton (who was extremely rude and unprofessional) address us about the situation. No accommodations nothing as a matter of fact I was treated poorly once child care licensing confirmed she completed her investigation regarding the incident and that this facility was found guilty and would be cited. I started receiving very passive and nasty emails from the front desk. The director Nikki, comes off as caring and sweet but she likes to hide behind emails she never pulled me aside regarding my child and gave a plan on how they were going to ensure this does not happen again which lets me know this happens often and that was confirmed to me by a teacher. The only thing this facility cares about is whether you pay on time, and protecting their image even if its hiding incidents like this from the public. When I was made aware of it they had no choice but to self report to licensing because I was going to do it. Secondly, when I first enrolled at this facility they raved on the fact they had cameras and that we would be able to access our child at anytime to check in on them. That is a lie! Yes they have cameras but the owner is so money hungry and cheap the camera access is LIMITED. You only can log into the camera 5 times up to 10 minutes per session. So if you login for a couple seconds to view that takes up your full session or if you are viewing the footage and your phone locks that counts as a full session. Thirdly, the poor quality of food they feed these children is an insult. Again, they try to cut cost so much at this daycare to the point they feed the kids crap and not enough. When I discussed this with the Assistant Director Vivan, she gave my husband and I a menu yes from the sounds of the menu the food seems great but they do not follow that menu consistently they do make whatever is the cheapest If you care about your child safety, the quality of food they consume and just having a peace of mind that your child is in good hands I would avoid this facility. As sweet as the front desk appear because I was fooled by the soft voice and the sales pitch.

Disappointed- 2 incidents. 1. I had brought my son & as soon as we got there, there was a little…read moregirl (toddler age) sitting in a chair just sobbing. Not one adult was try to help her feel better, nor talking to her & one of the care takers said,"she's just sad because her parents left." She literally looked like she was in timeout because of her crying. When you care for children, you are there for them no matter what/ no matter how many times you need to try. Taking care of children requires a special gift. They need our help constantly. 2. I picked up my son & I immediately saw his face was red, running nose & extremely hot. My son is able to speak & he told me he didn't feel good. I did not receive one phone call about my son. As a child care taker you should be more aware. Checking children constantly to make sure everything's okay. You could clearly tell something was wrong with him just by his nose running, redness on skin & just standing there like a statue. That clearly shows me that those adults don't pay close enough attention to catch something like that & my son was there for hours. He said he had been feeling that way since nap time (1pm, I picked him up around 5pm). This place of business needs way better discernment & wisdom when it comes to hiring the adults to care for children.

My son shared that these special kids also got outside drinks. Made me believe they may be making that up or even if they were special needs, it's not fair for other kids to be excluded. My son would get skipped and miss his turn on the X box by some of the special kids and the teachers will often not keep their word that he could use it after lunch or a later lunch. I would rather no electronics but if you are going to have them it should be fair. I will not be brining my son here anymore.
