Comments from Parents

"We are thrilled to have our daughter at Happy Baby! It is a warm and loving environment with a great balance between free play and guided activites. We are consistently impressed with their responses to situations that come up, either with an individual child or between two children. We are very confident in their judgment and their ability to read the needs of the kids."

"Happy Baby takes wonderful care of toddlers in a warm, fun, kid-friendly home. [The teachers] are enthusiastic, lively, and communicative, with a deep commitment to providing excellent, nurturing care. We appreciate how much they communicate with us and how much they help us learn about our son’s development. Most of all, we love how much they loves our son (and vice versa!)."

"My daughter Charlotte thrived at Happy Baby and here are just some of the reasons why:

She was accepted for who she is and was truly loved

She explored the amazing backyard and learned all different kinds of play (like in the sandbox, with the hose, in the water tables, with flour & flax seeds too, and in the trees

She recognizes different plants, flowers and herbs when we're out walking in our neighborhood because of her experience in the Happy Baby Backyard

She got really dirty, which means (to me anyway) that she was allowed to explore at her own pace, to her interests

She ate delicious (and nutritious) food - lentil stew is her current favorite

The weekly music teacher on top of what music & singing they did every, and my daughter LOVES to sing!

She learned to interact with other children and learned how to negotiate relationships with her peers and adults too."
