Our first experience with daycare, and very thankful we found them!
Jessica JohnsonJan 11, 2026We absolutely love Happy Day Educare! It has been a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for our two boys. From the very beginning, the transition into daycare was made smooth and stress-free, thanks to the incredibly kind and generous owners and teachers. The staff truly cares about the children, and it's clear how much effort they put into making each day educational, fun, and full of warmth. Our boys look forward to going to daycare every day, which says a lot about how comfortable and happy they feel there. One of the things we appreciate most is the focus on health and nutrition—every meal is organic and thoughtfully prepared, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care, love, and learning environment that Happy Day Educare provides. Highly recommended!
Milos PekezOct 7, 2025“My daughter has been attending Happy Day Educare since they first opened, and I truly have nothing but great things to say. The teachers are caring, attentive, and always make the children feel safe and loved. I’ve seen so much growth in my daughter—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The center is clean, well-organized, and communication with parents is always clear and thoughtful. I’m so grateful to have found such a nurturing and trustworthy place for my child!”
Hanaa BarsomAug 8, 2025As a new (working) parent, your biggest stress is making sure your kiddo is in the proper care. We decided against daycare in the beginning, but then had unfortunate incidents with nannys that lead us to the decision to place our daughter in daycare. We did a lot of research, and found Happy Day Educare. It was only family owned center based day in the area. From day one, we felt instant comfort from the staffs and the owners. My daughter loves her teachers, so much! They send daily photos and updates which ease our mind and remind us we made the right decision. Ms Grace and Mr Sam are quick to answer any questions or concerns. They genuinely care about our kiddo. Happy Day Educare has given us so much comfort and reassurance and I highly recommend them.
Khuslen BadarmalJun 25, 2025We love Happy Day Educare. The staff is amazing, the center is CLEAN and our daughter is thriving. The teachers keep us updated via app. We appreciate the constant communication. We have been at ease ever since transferring here. Highly recommend. We look forward to sending our next child there.
Uurtsaikh GanbatJun 24, 2025The best of the best! The owners, Sam and Grace, are the most genuine, kind hearted individuals and truly care about all the kids that come into their establishment. The teachers are just as amazing, the care that they have for the kids is truly amazing and so comforting as a parent. My son has been coming here since they opened, I have never had a worry about him being there while I’m at work. They have amazing communication and super attentive to kids own individual needs. It is amazing to see not only the teachers but Sam and Grace to be so hands on and care for each child like their own! If you’re looking for a safe place for your child to go to while at work, definitely look into Happy Day Educare!!!
