Our Story
Honeydew started in a brownstone home in Park Slope, Brooklyn in 1999. We are a family of teachers and caregivers who, like “the beehive, care for offspring who are not their own”. We were one of the first programs to offer a flexible schedule that served the families’ needs first and to offer enrichment classes to the children such as yoga, languages, and movement. Now we have three locations in Brooklyn and we serve 90-100 families every school year. We have 3 tuition-free classrooms sponsored by the NYC Department of Education: two 3K and one UPK classrooms.
Our Approach
Honeydew Drop’s approach has a comprehensive foundation in early childhood development. We learn with the children through building themes based on their interests and explorations.
Our socioemotional methods and support are embedded in our daily care and communication with the children. We create individual plans for each child’s development, style of learning, and emotional needs.
We invite our families to extend the learning at home and to use our resources for emotionally responsive language and strategies. We believe that engaged families create a vibrant learning community that the children can flourish and grow in. Honeydew is an open and receptive school to persons of all races, gender, identity, and more.
Our Mission
Honeydew’s mission is to provide a loving, safe, and nurturing environment for growing children, offer parenting support and leadership training for teachers.
Our focus is the social emotional health and growth of children, their families, and caregivers. We believe that teaching kindness and resilience is at the heart of quality childcare. Because we believe that teaching children to be kind, resilient and part of a community is more important than learning ABC’s and 123’s at this age.
