The Loyalty Of Our Founder Lives On
Happy Faces started in the home of Linda Bean—our founder and mom to owner Tameenah Adams. Inspired by her love for children and the need for a safe, nurturing learning environment in Ward 5, Linda opened her doors in 1987 as one of DC’s first day-care facilities to offer 24/7 services to local families.
Our flagship school started in the hood, stayed in the hood, and expanded in the hood—at the 9th Street Unit E location in 2000, Unit H in 2005, Unit F in 2008, and Unit G in 2011. Linda was committed to the community, to being there for our neighborhood and the residents of DC. Over 30 years, we have continued to honor her commitment by never changing who we are, even as our neighborhood transforms around us, and continuing to support our community.
Linda's vision for quality childcare is a legacy that lives on as we continue to grow and find innovative ways to encourage children and families to BLOOM :
B
is for the best that I can give.
L
is for the love we share for teaching.
O
is for options I share to help you thrive.
O
is for opportunities to help you in life.
M
is for me because I will be there anyway.

the box
