My child attended Happy Faces Early Learning Academy from age 4.5 months until his recent graduation at 3.5. For the first three years of his life, Happy Faces provided a loving, nurturing and strong learning environment for my son. He learned to walk, talk and write at Happy Faces. They also fully potty trained him. The administration is responsive and reliable.

I’ve been taking my 18-month old daughter to Happy Faces for a little over a year, and we’re all happy with it. It’s very reasonably priced for the area, more flexible than most, and they treat the kids well without climbing up their own butts. They’re concerned with the children’s development.

My son Ashton has attended Happy Faces for over a year. I have been amazed by his growth and development during his time there. He loves going to “school” and as a mother, it warms my heart to know that my son is happy and well taken care of. They do a great job keeping the kids engaged with fun activities.

My son absolutely loves happy faces. Our family had a hard time finding childcare that was knowledgeable about breastfed babies and cloth diaper friendly. Happy Faces is both. My son has flourished since he started. He has gained so much coordination and large motor skills as well as social emotional growth.

My son has been attending Happy Faces since he was six months old. He is now three and will be starting preschool this year. I have watched this daycare grow and its awesome to see change when its for the greater good. He enjoys going to school. So much so that he passes me up at times just to give teachers hugs and kisses.
