Happy Place Childcare has been such a wonderful experience for our family. The staff is caring, welcoming, and truly dedicated to the children. My kids love it, and I appreciate the safe, positive environment they create every day. Highly recommend!
Deja GoldsberryJul 10, 2026Happy Place of Middletown Delaware provides an excellent atmosphere and curriculum for your child to follow on a daily basis. The certified teachers are hands-on, engaged, and happy to welcome your child every day. You can always tell that the teachers strive to make every day count for the children.
Aleaha CubbageJul 9, 2026Happy Place Day Care is a wonderful and caring place for children. The teachers are very kind, patient, and loving. They make the children feel safe and happy every day. My child has learned so many new things and enjoys going to school. The classroom is clean, organized, and full of fun activities. The staff communicates well with parents and truly cares about each child’s growth and development. I highly recommend Happy Place Day Care to any parent looking for a safe and positive environment for their child. 💛
Priyanka GuptaMar 3, 2026I was highly disappointed to know this Christian childcare winded up being nothing but a disappointment/ deceitful. They pick & choose which children they will cater to more meanwhile let children that have special needs get away with such behavior because of their disability. This is a place I would definitely third guess before enrolling your child here. It’s all smiles in the beginning to get that child for your money which was highly over priced for the value of what’s truly given in return. In the future to this school, I also highly recommend not having children with special needs (autistic behavior) with children that are not special needs, they simply don’t mingle together. Just fyi advice. Thank you for the half services that were provided towards the end of our endeavors here & Best wishes to all the children /parents that still attend there. Be careful where you enroll your child/ children especially if you’re seeking a babysitter for them to play all day, than this is the place, but if you’re seeking more like Education & some fun time, than definitely seek elsewhere. Learning was our goal and it simply wasn’t provided here as told when we took the tour and gave our monies, so with that being said, Thanks Happy Place Childcare for your services & I rated overpriced due to it being more like a babysitting service while I worked so again, I thank you.
Lisa HintonFeb 23, 2026Happy Pace Childcare of Middletown provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for children. As a Christian-based center, faith and positive values are thoughtfully incorporated into daily activities and interactions. The staff is caring and attentive, and the children are supported in a safe setting that encourages learning, growth, and respect. A great option for families seeking a childcare center with a strong values-based foundation.
Kirsey EngelmanFeb 8, 2026Happy Place Childcare has truly been a second home for my son since kindergarten. Even during the times we stepped away, we always found ourselves coming back because of the warmth, structure, and care this center provides. The owner is exceptional—she has a genuine connection with the children and runs her center with clarity and consistency. You can tell she deeply cares about the families she serves, and she has built a community-centered environment where both kids and parents feel supported. One of the things I appreciate most is the flexibility. From being open early and staying open late, to working with families through transitions like Purchase of Care to full tuition, Happy Place has always gone above and beyond to meet our needs. While the center isn’t overly “high-tech,” they do use an app to keep parents updated with reminders, notices, and important communication—which I’ve found to be very helpful. The staff are always kind, approachable, and truly a pleasure to interact with. I can confidently say that Happy Place Childcare has made a lasting positive impact on our family. We will truly miss being here on a daily basis, but I know we’ll be back for summer care. I highly recommend this center to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and reliable childcare option.
