Happyland is a safe & loving environment . They communicate about everything. You can stay connected with your child’s progress through out the day through the Brightwheel app. They also do wellness check ups on students that haven’t been present in a few days.

The Ferguson family love Happyland Day Care. My girls have been going there for a few years and we have never had any complaints. The staff is professional and fun. I love the way they handle situations.

New to the area and looking at various daycare centers. We fell in love with Happy Land because of the cleanliness, how everything had a place and was organized, and the wonderful and caring staff/ teachers. Everyone was very open and friendly from the time we walked in and began the tour until the time we left. Most importantly the back yard play area was huge, clean and spacious for all the kids to play together at one time if they need to. Which makes for a perfect space to grow for all of my kids in different grades.

I love this daycare. It's a wonderful and cheerful place. They took good care of my kids and always told me everything that happened that day and if my kid got hurt. I have 3 kids and all of them attended this daycare since they were almost 3 years old. There's no other daycare I've had experience with that tops this place. My children always enjoy their time there. When they've hired or replaced some workers when they left , they found wonderful replacements each time. I wish they took infants, I would love to take my newborn baby there. There's no one I trust more!
