Our daughter has attended Happy Toddlers since she was 6 months old, and she is now 2. We couldn't be happier with our experience there. Our daughter has learned so much and has flourished in their care. She has became such a verbal, happy and social child and we credit alot of that to her experience at Happy Toddlers. She absolutely loves going every day and we feel such comfort knowing she will be so well cared for and have such a great day there while we are working. The caregivers are all so caring and loving and also know a ton about child development. I learn alot from them about how to parent! They are also very flexible with parents in terms of schedule. We love Happy Toddlers!
Emily LambertMar 12, 2026Happy Toddlers is the best! Our 6-year-old went there and loved it, and now our 1-year-old goes there and is super happy. They keep us updated with anything and everything going on throughout the day. They're also very flexible. We couldn't be happier with how they take care of our kids.
Michael KlopmanMar 11, 2026I’ve been meaning to write a review for the longest time. My daughter came to Happy Toddlers Playgroup during the pandemic after way too long in social isolation. I was concerned about her entering a daycare after being home with a nanny for so long but the minute I met Valerie I knew she would be in good hands. I was right. Valerie and her staff made my daughter feel comfortable and loved. I never had to worry when she was in their care. They were wonderful communicators and wonderful people who helped her grow and thrive during a crazy time. I cannot recommend them enough.
Nicole DashmanSep 4, 2024We love Happy Toddlers Play Group Daycare. The staff is so attentive, detail-oriented, and caring. Our child has learned so much and always has a smile on his face when he arrives for the day.
Julia GuideraJan 4, 2024My son has been enrolled at Happy Toddlers for over a year, and we couldn’t be happier. There’s only a small number of children so each gets so much personal attention from carers who truly care. My son has flourished there, and we feel like he (and we) are in such good hands.
Anika ChapinNov 6, 2023We love Happy Toddlers! Our son started right before he turned one year old and he's learned so much in the past year since he's been there. He loves going there so much that he often walks right in when the door opens and doesn't even say good bye! They teach them some Spanish to the point that he was able understand Spanish when my sister who is fluent speaks to him. He also speaks some basic Spanish words at home. Another great thing is that they provide all the snacks and meals for the kids. So he's trying lots of different foods and you don't have to worry about packing a lunch! They use the BrightWheel app and post tons of photos throughout the day. We love Happy Toddlers so much that we moved closer so our commute was shorter. Couldn't recommend them more!
