I love Happy Kids Day Care, and my son LOVES them. I feel very safe and secure knowing my child receives great care every day while I am at work. Hellen and her staff are responsive and prompt and they are always open. My son is also picking up on some Spanish. Great for development
Ann FuchsApr 5, 2026I’m giving this business a 5 star review due to their extreme care for the kids they watch, they also fill the kid’s days with fun activities like drawing and painting. They provide home made food for the children as well keeping them healthy. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.
brittany paperinMar 9, 2026Happy Kids Daycare is a center that teaches our children many basics for when they go to school, and most importantly, it's a safe place where they take very good care of our children and make healthy food for them. Mrs. Hellen and all her employees are very loving with the children, and the children are very happy in the Happy Kids Daycare program.
Juan maitaMar 4, 2026My son is so happy here! You can really see that everyone just loves the kid! I feel confident that he is well cared for! He loves to go to daycare and most days does not want to leave! Highly recommend 😊
Jessica StolzOct 15, 2025I don’t know why mine and my husband’s original review was deleted. I find that interesting considering this place kicks children out for CRYING on their fourth day. This place is dirty and the people are not worthy of your money. I will continue to repost this as often as I have to. It’s unethical to delete reviews that do not contain false information. Just saying.
Joanna SapienzaOct 7, 2025My son has been going to “school” at happy kids daycare since he’s 9 months old and is now 2. Helen,Carlos and the staff at happy kids take such great care of my son. He is learning to speak Spanish which we love. He gets very excited to come home with new pictures for mama and daddy. He’s made friends in daycare and loves telling us about what a great day he had. Knowing he is taken care of daily, fed home cooked meals and growing to be such a sweet boy with the help of happy kids makes my mama heart so happy! Thank you for all you do for our kids. It is so appreciated ❤️ we also love that we get sent photos of all the fun our boy is having while we are working missing him 😊
