My daughter has been attending Happy Times since she was 5 months. Im in awe of how much progression Ive seen over the years with her being here. We couldn’t be happier with this daycare. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear they truly love what they do. My daughter feels safe, valued, and supported each day. The facility is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming. Communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and confident about our child’s care. We are so grateful for the wonderful environment they provide and highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and professional place for their child. Ms. Bethy, Ms. Belen Ms.Sandra Ms. Jasmin Ms. Mireya Ms. Diana Ms. Ailen are amazing. The whole staff is wonderful we appreciate them very much.

My child went to happy times before he started elementary and I feel that it helped them so much with preparation for TK. He recently had a parent teacher conference and his teacher said that he had already achieved most of the goals for the end of the school year such as writing his name, knowing letters and numbers. I know that I have happy times to thank for that as they really strive to help the kids learn all of these things and make sure the kids are ready and prepared to be in class. My son loves his teacher Mrs Diana and Mrs Bethy for being so kind and really taking the time to know my son and his strengths and weaknesses. I also wanted to mention that Mrs Belen in the front was always so helpful and informative. I love coming to pick up my son and talking with her. My kid speaks of happy times all the time and how much he loves his friends and teachers there. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a preschool And child care!

I cannot recommend Happy Times CDC highly enough. Over the years, this center has been more than just a daycare for our family it has truly been our village and a second home. With three children having passed through their care, we have seen firsthand the incredible, consistent dedication that makes this place one of the absolute best.The staff here does not just take care of the children; they actively help raise them, providing a nurturing, supportive, and educational environment that instills confidence and kindness. To all the amazing people who have poured their hearts into our kids, we are eternally grateful. A special thank you to the following who exemplify this exceptional standard of care from the director Mrs Belen, to the teachers Mrs. Diana, Miss Sandra, Miss Jasmine, Mrs. Bethy and Miss Aileen and the cook Miss Eugina. It truly takes a village, and this is the strongest, most loving village a parent could ask for. If you are looking for a place where your child will be loved, taught, and truly nurtured by dedicated professionals Happy Times CDC is that place. Thank you for everything you have done for our family.

I can’t find the words to express how blessed I am to have Ms. Sandra and Ms. Maria as my sons teachers. My son has been with this daycare since he was 6 months, he is now almost 2. Ms. Sandra and Ms. Maria have taken care of him like he was their own. I never worry when he’s in their hands. Both of them are always in communication about how he is and his progress in his development . They both bounce ideas with me to see what’s working for him and how we can better assist him since he is nonverbal. My son is always happy to go into their arms. It doesn’t feel like I’m dropping him off at daycare. It feels like I have family watching him. That peace of mind is priceless. For that I am forever grateful. I can’t forget Mrs. Belen!! I could have a billion questions for her and she is always happy to help me every step of the way. Highly recommend Happy Times 💙

My daughter has been at this daycare since she was just 4 months old, and now at 21 months, I can truly say this place has been a blessing for our family. I usually don’t write reviews, but this daycare absolutely deserves one because it is simply the best. From the very beginning, the staff has treated us like family. A huge thank you to Ms. Belen, the amazing director, who always puts families first over money and makes every decision with love and care. Ms. Bethy is like a mom to all the kids—her warmth and nurturing spirit make every child feel safe and cherished. Ms. Sandra and Ms. Maria are incredibly patient and loving, bringing joy and calm to the classroom every single day. And it’s not just them—the entire staff there is wonderful. Every person contributes to creating a safe, welcoming, and truly loving environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. If you’re looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of your own family, this is the place. We are beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for our daughter and for us. 💕
