  • If you are looking for a daycare that is structured, educational, fun with a staff that is responsive and ensures open communication, then I highly recommend Happy Hours. I have a 2 year old son that started about year ago and we've had a wonderful experience. I love that my son takes home at least 1 to 2 art projects each week. The staff will also sometimes send me random texts and pictures during the week of how much fun he is having as well as any concerns. During this pandemic, thankfully, my husband and I still had to go to work. However with that said, we had no choice but to still send our son to daycare. Happy Hours ensured they followed the necessary safety precautions to keep their kids, their staff, and their families safe. So if you are looking for a place that feels like than just a daycare...I know you will be "Happy" with your decision in choosing Happy Hours.

  • WE LOVE HAPPY HOURS CHILDRENS CENTER!! It's such a wonderful feeling leaving your children and not having to worry while you're working. Christine and Helene are welcoming and very flexible with times and schedules. The infant teachers Miss Marti and Miss Patricia are so amazing with babies!! Our little girl loves music time. The toddler teachers Miss Lorette, Miss Jenn and Miss Maggie are wonderful, they always smile and make you feel at home. The school age teachers Miss Erica and Miss Sammy have been great for summer camp! There is always something fun scheduled!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Happy Hours. I'm so glad we found them!! Every single teacher treats the children as if they were their own.

  • Our daughter Caroline has been attending Happy Hours daycare for over 2 years now and we love it here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful with the parents and little ones. The lessons, songs and art projects that our daughter comes home with just puts us in awe with how much she is learning. She just loves her teachers and friends. Even when our morning commute became longer, when our employer changed locations, we kept our daughter at Happy Hours because we wouldn’t want her to leave such a great place. ❤️

  • With increasing demands in childcare, childcare that matters and makes a difference, comes Happy Hours Child Care in Wappinger Falls, NY.... Having just moved here not to long ago, we were looking for a quality, attentive and supportive care for our 3 y/o boy..... Our neighbor recommended Happy Hours Child Care and we couldn't be any Happier...no pun intended... The staff was/is extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, caring and professional. Of course, it wasn't difficult to make the right decision to bring our Riley and trust him in the more than capable and educated staff of Happy Hours Child Care.... It's been 4 months now and he is thriving in an environment that is as structured and allowing him to blossom into the boy he needs to be. Very Happy with our choice and would recommend to every concerned parent....
