  • Miss Kristina has been so patient and kind with our child. Very loving and supportive as he navigates his first time away from us

  • Miss Kristina is AMAZING! I am a helicopter Mom, and I have been confident in Miss Kristina since day one. My daughter has met friends, become more confident in her speech, and skills, and enjoys learning so much. Thank you Miss Kristina for all you do for our little ones!

  • We are so happy we found A Happy Healthy Start Preschool for our son! It has been the best start to his school experience. We feel confident when we drop him off that he is going to have a great day because of the welcoming and supportive classroom environment. We appreciate the small class size, the daily updates, and the open communication. If you are looking for a small classroom setting for your preschooler that values creativity and hands on learning, look no further!

  • This is the preschool you've been looking for. The environment is warm and welcoming. The class sizes are small. Learning is play based with built in structure to ready kids for kindergarten. Miss Kristina and Miss Cole are caring, attentive, patient, fun, and go above and beyond to make these kids' first exposure to school a good one. I truly cannot be more thankful to have found a place for my child to thrive and learn about the world around him. In addition to exceptional care, they cater to each child's interests- one of the many benefits of being a close knit group with small class sizes. My son is currently interested in German Shepherds and Jeeps and my heart was filled with joy to know that the teachers went out of their way to make sure books about German Shepherds and Jeeps were available for him to enjoy. I feel good dropping him off in the morning and even better when he runs to me for a big hug with a huge smile on his face at the end of the day. The growth he has shown in just 6 months of being there lets me know that we couldn't have made a better decision with preschools.

  • My daughter has been here since she was an infant. They’ve always treated her like a child of her own. I never have to worry that she’s being well cared for while I’m working. Super clean environment and always positive energy. Kristina and Cole are always making adjustments in the classrooms to cater to the needs and wants of the kids. It truly has been a happy healthy start for my girl.

  • We love A Happy Healthy Start! It is definitely the best fit for our family. The interactions with the teachers and parents is lovely. They are always willing to answer questions or help give advice when we ask and even share updates about the class happenings throughout the day. Most importantly, our daughter comes home glowing, excited to tell us about the days adventures, plays outside often, is safe, and constantly displaying new skills and understanding and abilities she learned with her peers. I just turned to her and asked her what she thinks if her school and her words were “it’s so much fun!”
