Happy Hearts Montessori Daycare & Preschool was a wonderful daycare/preschool for our children. We were in a bind for care initially and they were able to accommodate quickly. We never had to second guess if our kids were happy attending. The care they received was phenomenal and every staff member felt like family. There was a change of ownership shortly after we started attending and it seemed to be a very smooth transition. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place with quality care and great communication for their children!
We had our youngest son here from March 2021 until July 2023. The team that works with the kids is unlike any other we've interacted with. They are fun, kind, supportive and consistent. They helped prepare my son for every next step he was ready to take. The only reason we're leaving is so he can go to kindergarten. The Montessori program was perfect for him and this school was perfect for the whole family. I would recommend this as an option for anyone looking for a great experience for their children.
Since the new management took over, I've seen such a positive change at this daycare! The newly installed security cameras provide an extra layer of safety, which gives me great peace of mind. Not only has security measures improved, but the overall atmosphere is much more organized and welcoming. Highly recommend this daycare to any parents looking for a safe and caring place for their kids!
MCC was the perfect place for our two children. The teachers create a warm and supportive environment, that makes our children love to be there. In our five years there, the teacher turnover is almost zero and our children LOVE the teachers! Our children loved the playground, learning stations, kid's garden and specially the special parents night out activities. I highly recommend MCC especially if you are looking for a Montessori experience that listens and care about their families.
Our family has been blessed to have found the wonderful childcare staff at Montesorri Children’s Center. We sent both of our boys to MCC since they were two years old. The staff has always been very warm, welcoming and caring. The main teachers have not changed from when my oldest son started in 2014. As a parent I could not imagine a better and or more consistent staff. I have always felt like they treat us like part of the family. In fact they went out of their way to help our family when I broke my elbow and was having trouble juggling physical therapy and childcare. Bethany, Jan and the rest of the staff will bend over backwards for your family. As an educator myself, I know both of my children were well prepared for kindergarten and MCC helped set a good foundation for my children to be curious lifelong learners. They encourage children to explore and learn through play. Also literacy is an extremely important indicator for a child’s later academic success and MCC showed how important it is by ending everyday with reading. My children never wanted to leave. It was always, “Mom can I stay for just one more book?” I would recommend MCC to anyone looking for a great and caring environment that is more than just a daycare. It’s a place that nurtures your child to grow.
