My two sons attended Happy Times and I cannot say enough good things about them! The teachers treated my children as if they were their own. I could feel the warmth and excitement from them everyday at drop off and pick up. My boys would come home so excited to tell me about their day and all the activities they did. The teachers truly go above and beyond for their students. My boys have grown so much and not just academically, but in confidence and socially as well. I’m very sad to not have them attend this preschool anymore. I highly recommend!!
Mariam DakkaDec 11, 2024Both of my kids have attended Happy Times and I can’t recommend it enough. We initially chose it because we were looking for a 2-year-old program for our oldest and we were looking for more of a traditional school setting, not a religion-based, PDO type of thing. From the moment we stepped inside on our tour of the school, we knew it was a truly special place. The school is a traditional preschool, play-based, which I wanted for my kids. They have weekly themes and a daily schedule they follow which provides routine and structure that kids thrive on. They come home with cute crafts and I can tell they’re playing games that use letters and numbers and she’s able to apply those concepts to other things in her daily life (she’s able to read quite a few words!) and it’s so cool to see her make connections like that. Happy Times feels like an extension of home. Dropping my kids off at school feels like dropping them off at a family member’s house. All the teachers in the school know her name (and her personality) which is so comforting. The two teachers for the two-year-olds are both moms, and they are caring, vibrant, and nurturing, and after meeting them I wasn’t even remotely nervous about leaving my babies with them. The rest of the staff is exceptional too, they’re down to earth and I can tell they really love spending their days with the kids. Happy Times has made our first school experience so enjoyable for both my kids and me, and I’m so glad I found them!!
Dana SutulaMay 28, 2023We are obsessed with Happy Times!! I highly recommend this preschool to any family!! We knew Happy Times was the school for us as soon as we walked in the doors two years ago. The classrooms are adorable and welcoming. Every single teacher truly treats each child as if they were their own. Each of my children have grown so much over the past two years, and we have these amazing teachers to thank! We are so happy we chose Happy Times!!
Jackie WehrliMay 27, 2023My son has attended Happy Times since he was 2 and will graduate PreK next year! We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We loved how many attendance options there are… part time, extended day, full day. They follow the public school calendar which was nice for planning. He has loved every teacher he has had and so have I!! He is learning and having fun, so there’s really nothing else you can ask for. We moved across town this year and will continue to attend, worth the drive especially since it’s conveniently located in downtown! Happy Times rocks 🎉
Rachel AlexanderMay 22, 2023We love Happy Times so much! The staff is fabulous- professional, fun and so sweet. My girls grow and learn so much every year and they love school. Everyday I know my girls are in good hands. As we finish up a great school year we are looking forward to Summer camp at Happy Times this year. We are so lucky to be enrolled at Happy Times, its just been a wonderful experience for my children and our family.
Kelly Palicka LardnerMay 22, 2023Happy Times is a wonderful experience for young children. The dedicated staff makes the first interactions in an academic setting warm and welcoming. We have been so pleased with the curriculum, learning projects, and caring support of teachers. The staff works hard to ensure activities are developmentally appropriate, engaging, and fun. We are so thankful for such a wonderful preschool setting!
