My son has been a student at Honey Tree & Branches since he was about four years old, and we have…read moreloved it here ever since. I truly cannot say enough great things about the staff. The teachers are so genuine and caring toward the students, and you can tell they truly want the best for them while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Small classroom ratios paired with gently encouraging children to reach new heights create an environment where every child is truly seen, supported, and able to grow. When my son first started, he was a little behind with his speech. However, after beginning at Honey Tree & Branches, he quickly caught up. The staff have become like a second family not only to him, but to all of us. His teachers have helped him expand his Spanish comprehension, supported him academically to the point that he was able to move from Pre-Kindergarten straight to First Grade, and most importantly, they have always kept him safe and happy. I know that some people believe the facility suppresses children's personalities, but that has never been our experience. My son is bright and full of energy, and he has always been able to express himself while also learning that school comes with rules and appropriate behavior expectations. They strike a great balance between structure and allowing kids to be creative and unique. They also provide balanced nutrition while allowing them the independence to say "yes, please" or "no, thank you" to food options being served. I was initially very nervous about starting my one-year-old daughter because she has significant separation anxiety. However, the patience and reassurance her teachers have shown her has been nothing short of a blessing and has truly put my heart at ease. Within just the first month of attending, she has already gained confidence, started counting, and participates in group activities. Overall, we absolutely love Honey Tree & Branches and what they provide for our family. I truly believe a lot depends on communication between parents and staff. When you are open about your concerns or your child's needs, they are very responsive and work quickly to address them appropriately.

They create a warm, caring environment and their focus on education is top notch. Mrs. Fielding, Mrs. Davis, and all the staff are always very warm and welcoming. Our little boy loves them and looks forward to going to Honey Tree. The education they provide is extremely high quality. Recently they were the only school in the area to receive a prestigious educational award - KDSE Silver Star award. They have enrichment activities for students and do an excellent job of communicating progress. I love seeing updates and pictures on Brightwheel. Our little toddler absolutely loves Honey Tree and has made amazing progress on his social and cognitive development. The pricing is in line with other schools and even day care facilities, but they provide higher quality education and service. When I talk to co-workers in other states and tell them about Honey Tree, including what they offer and how much it costs, they are very impressed. When I'm out and about and people ask where our toddler goes the response is always "Oh I've heard really good things about Honey Tree." Our toddler is happy, healthy, and loves Honey Tree, in my opinion it's worth every penny! Additionally, all the other facilities we looked at were surrounded by concrete. Honey Tree facilities are amazing, being around nature and trees is such a great benefit for the students. I don't have to worry about packing a lunch or snacks, they take care of everything!!! We could not be happier! Oh and the school pictures are absolutely amazing. We don't have to bother getting professional photos because Honey Tree is ON IT!

I think that Sunshine does a great job with kids. I have two children currently in Sunshine, as…read morethey have been since they were 10 weeks old. Thanks to the great staff, my two year old knows all his shapes, colors, how to sing several songs, how to count to midteens, and some of his letters. In the preschool room they use the animated alphabet program, and work on core skills necessary for kindergarden. They also use a choice based discipline, versus having children constantly in time out. This helps facilitate children learning to have more responsibility for their actions and knowing there is a better action than the one they were initially doing. Both of my children are well above average in knowledge skill and I attribute a great deal to the staff at Sunshine. I believe the reviewer below was a disgruntled staff member versus a true parent reviewer.

Email shortened due to Google character limitations My email to Owner: I want to express my extreme disappointment with both your Company's failure to provide the memory cards for my Sister's service and our conversation the day of her service, Saturday, June 14. You denied that we had ordered them but I reminded you that I stood right beside you as you entered the information & the chosen poem on your computer. We told you that we didn't expect many people & that 50 would be sufficient. I also reminded you that I had called the previous Tuesday, June 10 to ensure that they had been printed. You assured me that they had. I asked whether the chosen poem had been included and you assured me it had. You blamed it on someone else in your Company for not getting it done; stating that there was a note 'private service- family only- no printing''. Had you actually checked, you would have seen the note & avoided the error. You DID NOT CHECK & just told me what was convenient. You did not take responsibility, responding that the "appropriate person would be beaten". The appropriate person is YOU. You didn't notify us once you received my Sister back from MidWest nor let us know when her urns were ready as you had said. However, I did not think you would flat out be untruthful, telling me the cards were ready when they were not. There's no do over. My other Sister & her Husband regret engaging & paying for their cremations with you. I regret engaging you for xxx. Response from YM Owner: I received your email, and while we do try to please every single family, it was obvious to me that throughout our interactions, you were not going to be pleased with our service at all. I was especially concerned when I learned that your brother xxx was not consulted in the disposition of your mother. As a next of kin, he should have been informed by law. At great risk to my license, I proceeded with a cremation after being assured that all next of kin were present. I was able to speak to xxx, and he assured me that my company had no exposure. That is not right. I am sorry that you feel we are awful people- you have that choice. I, too, have a choice of who I will do business with, and I am appreciative that you will not be using my service ever again. No further response will be read. 1. xxxx was my Sister, not my Mother. I identified myself as her Sister every time I spoke to him. 2. Mystery why he believes that I would not be happy. I was always polite, not argumentative and had no reason to think there would be a problem until the day of her service. That's when I found out the cards had not been printed as assured. Our family has had several funerals there under different management. Always exemplary service. 3. There is not a legal obligation to notify siblings unless they were part of the will. Xxx was not named in her will and my Sister specifically requested that he not be informed since he had not contacted her in over five years. 4. I did inform the Owner that both brothers were not informed of her death and why. At no time did I "assure" him that all next of kin were present. 5. At no time did I say they were "awful people". I was conveying to him my disappointment with his handling of my Sister's service. Finally: the Owner does not dispute nor deny that the events as I presented above occurred. He turned it on me, the Customer, for his failings. I believe anyone would be upset learning on the day of a Service that the memory cards they were assured were printed were not and then the Provider blaming the Customer. Instead of a conciliatory response, he chose to insult and refuse any further communication. Interesting way to run a business. NOTE: "You are not legally required to notify a sibling of a parent's death unless they are named in the will or trust. However, it is often considered a compassionate act to inform them, as family dynamics can be affected by such news." agingcare.com keystone-law.com Again, she was our Sister, a sibling, not our Mother, a parent.

My son was only enrolled for two and half days!! On his first day at drop-off, there was only one…read morevery young staff member supervising 12+ children. The classroom was chaotic -- children were crying, screaming, and visibly overwhelmed -- and the staff member appeared nervous and unable to answer basic questions I had about my son's first day. I later messaged the director with concerns. The director falsely claimed more staff would be arriving at 8am when it was already 8:20am and still no one had arrived. At pickup that same day, I personally witnessed two older boys chasing and taunting my son on the playground. He ran up saying, "They're being bad boys," and later told me one of them punched him in the stomach. When I asked the staff member what happened, her explanation did not align with what I observed or what my son reported. On the second day, I picked him up and was told he had "just had an accident," but it was clear he had been sitting in soiled clothing for some time. A note was later entered in the Procare app stating that I declined a clothing change for my child, which is completely untrue. At no point did I decline anything. He was sent home in urine-soaked clothing. I had to bathe him immediately upon arriving home. After these incidents, I made an anonymous post in a local parent group simply stating that I had concerns about my son's first couple of days at a facility and was looking for recommendations. I did not name the center, did not name staff, and did not provide identifying details. Shortly after, the director messaged me stating my son was to be removed immediately due to a social media post. When I asked why he assumed it was me -- since the post was anonymous -- he claimed he "knew" because I had previously expressed concerns in the morning asking for a meeting. Mind you I have no expressed any concerns yet. I asked him to show me the post and provide proof it was mine, and he could not do so. Instead of addressing the supervision and documentation concerns I raised, my child was dismissed based on an assumption about an anonymous post that did not even identify the facility. As I asked the director to provide me with proof before kicking my son out, he stated he didn't have to and told me I was now trespassing. He is guilty and aware his staff is not qualified to be taking care of any children. At this point, I am extremely concerned about supervision, professionalism, and accountability. P.S. any response to this post from the staff will be that of false statements and claims. The director could not take accountability for his staff's negligence and therefore his only way out of his only solution to hide his negligence was to remove my child from their care facility after paying them $400 to enroll my Reports have been made and appointments have been made with the Kansas State department.

The Learning Center in Topeka, KS is the most unprofessional place I've ever been to in Topeka…read more They fed Banks- my four month old- ONCE in a 7.5 hour period. He ate twelve ounces when I picked up him up the first day he normally eats 8 oz. When you first walk in to the building, there fish tank is completely green which to me indicates one thing, laziness. When we went and toured the facility prior to enrolling him, the owner didn't show us anything and I had to ask all the questions. My baby gave the teacher the dirtiest look when dropping off on only the second day of care {he's NEVER done that with anyone before}, and I knew something was not right then. DJ and I went and picked him up two hours later. They corral all the kids at 5 pm into a little entrance way just sitting there waiting for parents to pick up for an hour {they close at six}, and they have a TV on to I assume entertain the babies in a INFANT room. I'm pretty sure they don't follow licensing in terms of teachers to babies ratio bc when I dropped banks off there were six car seats out front of the room, Banks made seven, and there were only two teachers present at the time {only three babies per teacher is allowed}. They are the only center in Topeka with infant openings for a reason. When I said my baby wouldn't be returning {I made up a reason bc I didn't have anything solid of funny business going on and just wanted to say goodbye quietly}, and asked for a refund of the week of care I prepaid for, the $100 deposit, and the $90 "supply fee", since my son only went two days {over $500 total}, the owner said no but she'd "waive the second week of care since they require a two week notice" this place is a joke and I would not send ANY if my kids here, plus the building is in really bad shape. Then I told her I was going to leave an honest review bc it's not right that she's not refunding me for AT LEAST the week I prepaid for, she blocks me so I can't leave a review {I wonder how many parents she has blocked reviews from now } - moral of the story is, this is the WORST center in Topeka and one that ends up on the news if you know what I mean. Do not recommend.
