Happy House staff are amazing!! You would think since my grandson was not allowed to come back I would be upset with them but that is the furthest from the truth. They tried all different ways to accommodate him and each time it didn't work the would try something else. They loved my grandson as they do every other child there. If you can get your child a spot at Happy House then do it!

This daycare allowed a teacher several times to leave marks on my child. When confronted the last time they tried to keep the Teacher involved in the incident from explaining what happen. As a parent I was highly upset and they did nothing to resolve how they managed the situation but blame me for being upset.

Attention everyone beware of this daycare my son has an attending this daycare for two years now and for a payment that didn’t go through cause my card was stolen nobody ever sent me a message to let me know that the payment didn’t go through look at attachment I attached two photos going back the last month and not one time I ever received a message letting me know about the payment but they let us know about everything else through there and when I spoke to them they said that the app sent me a message there is “ NO MESSAGE “ Then for $36 they will not let my son attend the daycare today I had to go to work and had to call off Because they wouldn’t take my son but never send me a message to let me know that the card did not go through and they wouldn’t take my son at the daycare today and not cause I didn’t have the money but because they don’t have a credit card system to take my payment and they don’t take cash so be aware with this daycare they don’t have any consideration for the parents

My daughter has been here 2 years. I would say this place is OK. The teachers are friendly and they do a lot of fun stuff with the kids. There's a fair mix of good and bad kids here along with friendly and not so friendly parents. The 4 yr olds have easy homework tues and thurs. I wish the teachers would start teaching the 4 yr olds to read right away but I guess they move at a slow pace here? I would recommend to anyone local but I still wish there was a more modern pre-k center with better learning opportunities.

This is the first time my son has been in daycare and he loves it! He's already bonded with his teacher in the short time he's been there. You can tell they do care about the babies 😊
