Our Story

Honeydew Drop’s mission is to provide high quality childcare, parental support, and leadership training for childcare providers. We care for children ages 4 months to 5 years old in 5 small programs in 3 locations in Park Slope and the Kensington area. Our focus is the social emotional health and growth of the children, their families, and their caregivers. We believe that teaching children to become independent, resilient, and part of a community will best prepare them for school and life. We have a supportive environment that grows leaders through their education, training, and classroom performance.

Our Approach

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.

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.
