Tricia Wiseman. Mother of 10 5 boys and 5 girls. Grandmother to three I have lived in Shelby County my entire life. I became a registered nurse in 2002. In 2014 I followed my dreams of working with children full-time and started watching children in my home. Shortly after starting to watch a few children I completed the process to become an in home childcare provider. I had an opportunity to purchase a building separate from my home and only a short walk from my home. That building eventually became “Honeybee Learning Tree”. I have completed many training programs along the way including CDA completion and Trauma Smart.
Mission
Our mission is to provide quality childcare that meets the individual needs of each child in a safe and educational environment. We strive to help our children explore their individual strengths and passions.
Vision
As the only licensed childcare located in Shelbyville, MO., we offer an affordable, high quality, educational childcare that promotes each childs social/emotional, physical and cognitive development.
Philosophy
We provide a hands-on interaction with the children. The childcare staff provides different learning opprotunities by supplying different activities based on the childs interests.
We allow them an environment promotes learning by exploring and discovering through play. Although we have many open-ended play opprotunities, we follow a few structured activities during the day as well. We find it important to keep some structure within the day to help build a foundation for success.

Executive Director/Owner
Hello!! Welcome to Honeybee Learning Tree. My name is Tricia Wiseman. I am a lifelong resident of Shelby County. I am the mother of 5 boys and 5 girls. Bailee, Demetri, Braidee, Brycen, Marcus, Cameron, Silas, Asia, Maddie and Byron. Yes, thats 10 total! I am also now the grandmother of three amazing little ones. I am a 1996 graduate of South Shelby Highschool and a 2002 graduate of John Wood Community College. I became a registered nurse in 2002 and in 2014 I followed my dreams of working with children full-time and started Honeybee Learning Tree. Children are my life. In high school they did those horrible where will you be in 10 years stories. The class had decided I would own a daycare. I still remember the name they gave that daycare. It traumatized me. I wanted to be something big like a child psychologist or physician. Look at me now. I can tell you, being a childcare provider is the hardest yet most rewarding career I have ever had. I may be mom to 10 and grandma to 3, but I can happily say I am also Mrs. Tricia to SO many little ones. One of the hardest parts of my job is having to send children off to kindergarten year after year. Thank you for coming to our page and learning about us. If you have any question please feel free to call or message me.
