What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

We enrolled our daughter at Happa Baby School when she was just a baby, and it's been a wonderful experience! The baby class was so nurturing and really helped ease the transition for all of us. One of my favorite things has been getting the daily pictures and videos. Seeing her smiling, crawling, and exploring always made me feel connected and reassured throughout the day while working. The classes are very well-kept, and once our daughter moved into the toddler group, meals were provided, which has been a huge help. The outdoor space is also fantastic with plenty of room for the kids to explore and play safely. The hours are fantastic for working parents, and Carol and Maegan have been incredibly responsive and supportive, especially during transitions or changes. We highly recommend Happa Baby School!
Marta LosaSep 23, 2025Our twin toddlers started attending Happa Baby in September 2024 at 2 yrs old and have had a great experience at HB, both at the old and new locations. The teachers like Wu Laoshi and administrators like Carol and Megan made their transition from a nanny to preschool as smooth as possible. They've made lots of friends and learned alot of Mandarin. My wife and I have also enjoyed getting to know the other parents as well, and there's a great community that is active outside of school hours. The facility is large, nice, and convenient for dropoffs/pickups. Also, the hot lunch and snacks provided by the school are nutritious and a big time saver for busy parents.
Christopher PozziJun 16, 2025We have had a great experience sending our daughter to Happa Baby for the last year. The teachers are very caring and patient with the kids and the school makes sure to create a warm, open environment for the children as well as families. There’s a good balance between structure, learning (Chinese and English), creative play, and outdoor time. Our daughter is developing just as we’d hope, been able to keep up her Mandarin (after we lived in Taiwan for a year), and has made really close friends at school. We feel lucky to have found Happa Baby and recommend it wholeheartedly!
Isabella LiuMar 30, 2025Our 18-month-old has been at Happa Baby since last year, and it has been a wonderful experience. He has grown to adore his caregivers and teachers, lighting up with excitement every time we arrive. The team at Happa Baby provides a nurturing and safe environment where he can explore, learn, and grow with confidence. They offer homemade, nutritious meals every day. The genuine care and attention they give children truly set them apart. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Happa Baby to any parent looking for a loving, supportive space and great parent community!
Priscilla CampilloMar 13, 2025My daughter has attended Happa Baby for the last few months in the infant room! She loves it - she has learned a number of new things there: crawling, sharing, and has grown noticeably more independent and social. The teachers are wonderful, all very kind towards her, and even ones outside of her class know her name. Carol & Maegan are very involved in the day to day operation of the school - and we’re extremely helpful with us while we transitioned her in. Overall, we have been so happy we sent our kiddo to Happa Baby!
Christine CooperMar 10, 2025My daughter has been attending Happa Baby since she was 11 months old and we could not be happier with the care she receives. She is always excited to go to school (probably because they feed her so well!) and it has been a joy to watch her develop and flourish there. The teachers and administration are super responsive and reliable. Most importantly, I can tell they treat my daughter as their own. My only complaint is that I worry my daughter prefers them to me! We see the Happa Baby staff and broader community as an extension of our own family. We’re so grateful to have found them!
