  • Absolutely incredible school. Our daughter started here in the toddler program at just two years old and she has loved every second since. Everyone is kind, understanding, extremely knowledgeable about toddlers/preschoolers, and they all seem to truly care about the kiddos and love what they do. We are amazed at all that our daughter has learned at Happy Hands thus far and look forward to her continuing her learning there until she is ready for kindergarten.

  • I can’t say enough about Happy Hands PREP. The entire staff is extremely compassionate and all work together with your child. I can say from experience that they truly take each child’s individual needs to heart. They let the children take the lead when it comes to learning and the teachers work with the child’s pace and I truly believe that’s why my son excels so much. He never feels rushed and is able to really learn from each of their lessons. We love how our son gets outside all year long, has music, yoga, and even gets to cook with his friends. If you’re in the market for a preschool, even if it’s a few years out, get on the waitlist ASAP!

  • I highly recommend Happy Hands to anyone seeking childcare in addition to early education. My oldest daughter has attended for 3 years. When she started, she was very shy and nervous. The teachers are so sweet and comforting and now she is totally out of her shell. My daughter found it comforting to play with one of the teacher's necklaces when she was having a moment. The teacher made her one that looked just like it and a year later it is still her favorite. They treat all of the kids like they are their own. In addition, she has learned SO much I keep joking around that she will be bored in kindergarten. They do individualize knowledge assessments and lesson plans. The staff are great with communicating to parents throughout the day. The security of the building and the process for drop off/pick up leaves me never worrying about her safety. Very excited my youngest will start this fall!

  • I don’t even know where to begin—Happy Hands PREP has been a true blessing for our family. From the moment my daughter stepped through their doors, we felt something special. The warmth, the genuine care, and the sense of community is unlike anything we’ve experienced before. The teachers and staff have not only nurtured her education and development but have also gone above and beyond in supporting her emotionally, socially, and with open arms that extended to our entire family. My daughter has blossomed in ways I never imagined possible, and it’s because of the patience, passion, and unwavering dedication of this incredible team. As a mother, nothing compares to the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is truly seen, celebrated, and cared for every single day. We will forever be grateful for the love and light you’ve poured into Kat’s life—and ours. Thank you, Happy Hands, for being more than a preschool. You are a second home, a safe haven, and a beautiful start to what I know will be a lifelong love of learning.

  • We absolutely love happy hands! This will be our 4th and last year attending and we are so sad to be saying goodbye! My oldest daughter only went 2 days a week and she was reading before she started kindergarten and she excelled so much this past year! My youngest was super shy and didn’t really like people much and they brought her out of her shell a lot! They do so much with the kids and I always know my girls are safe when in the care of the teachers! Their standards for teachers and students are super high and we really appreciate the value this school provides in setting the kids up for a successful learning experience!

  • Both of my children attended Happy Hands prep and their preschool program exceeded my expectations. Their care is personalized, and they make each student feel like family. Their approach to teaching completely prepared my children for kindergarten. They provide frequent updates via photos and messages in real time. I felt that my children were well cared for, safe and a priority while attending their program. I can’t say enough great things about them.
