Honeycomb is a free, private app that helps preschools build community through collaboration. Our smart tools create self-sufficient parent and teacher communities that take work off everyone’s plates.
"Honeycomb has brought out the best in our parent community. It's made our parents more committed to our program, and taken pressure off our teachers and saved them time by empowering parents to be self-sufficient –– not to mention more supportive of our team."
– Garrett Wilhelm, CEO of Creative Gardens / founder of Ohana School

The AI-powered, smart Honeycomb Calendar is the secret: it automatically captures events, to-dos and FYIs from your newsletters and emails, becoming the heartbeat of your community.
With reminders and chat built right into the calendar, Honeycomb uses collaboration to unlock participation. Schools have found that Honeycomb increases parent engagement 15x while reducing the director’s workload:
"With Honeycomb, I don’t have to send that email 85 times. Everyone is talking about events and tasks on Honeycomb, so there’s a collaborative buzz from the community figuring out stuff together, which really lightens my workload.”
––Megan Eskander, Director of The Montessori House of St Johns
Instead of maintaining your school calendar, sending newsletters, and still having to nudge parents, let Honeycomb share the work.
Use Honeycomb’s AI assistant to keep your Honeycomb Calendar up-to-date by automatically extracting key dates and to-dos from your school-wide emails. Embed your Honeycomb Calendar on your website and never have to refresh your school calendar again.
Meanwhile, Honeycomb takes care of reminding and engaging your parents. And they can sync the Honeycomb Calendar to their personal calendars, meeting them where they are.
Everything is easier when teachers can collaborate and support each other.
Teachers who feel connected to each other are more effective, more satisfied, and more likely to stay.
Admin tools are critical to helping you run your business, while Honeycomb is designed to build and activate your school community.
In fact, our schools have found up to 15x more participation when they use Honeycomb.
Bringing the joy of Honeycomb to your families at your preschool is ✨free✨and easy!

Very little! Honeycomb partners with preschool directors to make inviting your classrooms easy. We’ve found it takes under an hour to get up and running.
Honeycomb takes parent community building off your plate! We work with you to setup your classroom(s) and learn how to use the AI community assistant. After that, you can reap the rewards of a self-sufficient and engaged parent community in as little as 5 minutes a week. We also love working closely with your staff if they want to use Honeycomb (many of our preschools do), but no pressure!
Yes! To keep Honeycomb accessible to all families and schools, there’s no cost to use our current app. In the future, Honeycomb will be introducing new premium features (like a sanity-saving carpool tool!) that parents can opt to pay a small monthly fee for. But all of Honeycomb’s existing offerings are, and always will be, free for schools and parents.
Honeycomb works alongside your preschool admin tools, like Brightwheel, Procare, Transparent Classroom, HiMama, it doesn’t replace them. These tools are critical to helping you run your business, but aren't designed for in-real-life community-building –– that's where Honeycomb steps in.
