Honeypot Montessori in Newark, NJ, has reopened its doors, carrying a story of resilience, persistence, and growth. “Honeypot is my love letter to Newark—the progressive, culturally rich city that shaped me as an adult and as an educator,” says founder and Head of School Dr. Deja Jones. To re-emerge with the embrace of Newark behind her is a celebration not only of persistence but of the city’s shared investment in Honeypot’s future. From its pilot phase to today’s expanded permanent home, Honeypot has evolved into a research-partnered, community-embedded Montessori lab school in collaboration with Rutgers University–Newark CARES. Its mission is clear: to provide inclusive, high-quality Montessori education that nurtures curiosity, independence, and joy for children from historically underserved communities. This new chapter is possible thanks to the support of the Black Wildflowers Fund, Invest Newark, Newark Alliance, and community partners like the Programs for Parents — together ensuring Montessori is accessible to more families across Newark. Honeypot’s reopening is a testament to what happens when persistence meets partnership.
