What Parents Say !
This is a very friendly and welcoming daycare where children enjoy playing together, eating and spending a good amount of time playing outside in the sand and on the slide. There are a variety of toys to choose from; teachers do engaging art and craft activities with the children. Children are always happy there.
I have known the owner Kirat for many years. She is very professional, honest for her work, she always put her profession on top before anything. Honey tree has exceeded many ecxpectations, they take really good care of my son, my nephew and my nieces . Their staff is great at communicating, they always keep me and my family updated throughout the day on our children’s care at their centre. Honey Tree is like a second home for our kids.It’s really clean, organized and full with planned activities including science and munch-kinetics. I highly recommend Honey tree if anyone is looking for care for their children.
After lot of exploration and touring several daycares, we settled on this facility, and we’re very pleased with our experience. The facility is well equipped, has appropriate toys and learning materials. The curriculum includes educational activities, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and storytime.While our experience with this daycare has been mostly positive, one concern we’ve encountered is the frequent turnover of teachers in last 4-6 months. It’s unsettling for both us as parents and our child to consistently see new faces in the classroom.Nonetheless, the old as well as new staff are very friendly and they genuinely care about the children. My both children come home excited about the things they’ve learned and eager to share their experiences. I’m grateful for the care and attention they received here.
Honeytree offers an exceptional work environment characterized by supportive teamwork, open communication. The facility is clean, safe and conducive to learning.
New Management, staff are very rude and disrespectful. Kids are crying all day without staff consoling them or interacting with them, they are just left to cry. Think twice before sending your young children to this daycare. It used to be a nice great place for preschool but not since the new owners took over.
Meet Our Director – Harkirat Pantlia
Hello, my name is Harkirat Pantlia (Kirat), and I am proud to serve as the Director at Honey Tree Daycare. I am a mother to three wonderful children, and my passion for nurturing young minds has been a guiding force throughout my career. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Certificate, and have completed Child Care Licensing Officer Certification Program.
With my background in Psychology, Early Childhood Education, and Licensing, I bring a well-rounded approach to leadership in early learning. My Child Care Licensing Officer training has given me in-depth knowledge of childcare regulations, safety standards, and best practices. This allows me to ensure that our programs not only meet but exceed the guidelines required for a safe, supportive, and high-quality learning environment.
I began my career in 2011 as an ECE educator and gradually advanced into management positions across various organizations. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience leading teams, building enriching programs, and supporting children’s growth in ways that build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
At Honey Tree, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children thrive, families feel supported, and community connections are strengthened every day.
