  • My niece goes here she had an amazing experience in bumblees and now has been doing great in clubhouse! We’re so grateful to her new teacher!! The growth she’s shown has been so great In just a few days my niece has learned to count to 10! Miss Brianna has taught my daughter amazingly and the time and effort she has been putting in to get her potty trained has helped tremendously she’s been absolutely so loving and dedicated! I truly recommend this daycare to all of Kingston!

  • Our kids started at Happy Horizons a few months ago and we have had a great experience so far. Our 3.5 year old daughter is always excited to go. She loves her teacher, Miss Bailey, and talks about her and her friends every day after pickup. Our 1 year old son is clearly having a great time too based on all of the photos we get throughout the day. Miss Emma, Miss Kamrynn, and Miss Jamie are so sweet with him. Mr. Cody, the director, and Miss Sierra, the assistant director, are hands-on and really involved with the kids as well. Everyone we’ve met at Happy Horizons is friendly and its evident that they genuinely care about each child. As parents, we really appreciate the daily routine. There is a good amount of structure in place, but it still feels fun and flexible for the kids. They do things like story time, art, music, and outdoor play every day. There is usually a weekly theme too. One day our daughter came home so excited to tell us everything she learned about orcas! We also love getting photos during the day and the daily report at pickup. It is a great way to see what they are up to and helps us stay in the loop with everything going on. It's hard to trust strangers with your children but we truly feel that our kids are being cared for like family while at Happy Horizons.

  • Between my two kids, we have been at Happy Horizons for over 4 years. I can go to work each day knowing my kids are in the best hands possible. The teachers are incredible, and my kids are not only safe and loved, but have come out of Happy Horizons with advanced academic skills. The teachers prioritize outdoor time and creative learning, while also preparing them for UPK and kindergarten. We receive pictures throughout the day and have excellent communication about everything that happens. We could not be more grateful for the teachers and administrators who make sure our kids have the best time when we are away from them.

  • I’ve had a wonderful experience with Happy Horizons. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive; they truly take the time to get to know each child and create a nurturing environment. Communication with parents is consistent and thoughtful, and it’s clear they prioritize both safety and learning. I feel confident and grateful knowing my child is in such good hands every day. Highly recommend!

  • If you want your child cared for and loved this is not the place. Yes some of the staff are wonderful but the owner and a few of the others don’t… leave your child there.

    Teresa CobeyJan 2, 2026
  • Called in July 2024 and was promised a spot in July 2025. Called in February 2025 and was told that I was never added to the list. Was then told they would find us a spot in September (never happened), paid a deposit for November, had our November date confirmed, and then after proactively reaching out prior to giving notice to our current daycare - thank god) was told January 24 2026.
