Families who enroll most often make Honeypie Nature Playschool their child's 'home away from home'- from the day of enrollment, until the day their child is ready for 'big kid school', often coming back to visit for drop in days and Summer Fun. Honeypie Nature Playschool is also proud to provide families with option of 'redshirting' their child(ren) and gifting them with additional time to 'be a kid' (waiting to enroll in school until Kindergarten or 1st grade) and ensuring that they are provided with PLAYducation. Research shows "that a one-year delay in the start of school dramatically reduces inattention/hyperactivity at age 7...a measure of self regulation with strong negative links to student achievement."
