Very happy with the choice we made fro day care services...in a short time, my daughter seems like she as been there forever! She has made friends and loves her teachers. I don't worry about her at all when she is at school
My daughter has been attending Happy Hours daycare since my wife went back to work about a year ago. It was recommended to me by a co-worker. Since then we have had nothing but praise for the facility and staff. They keep us in the loop on everything my daughter does and has addressed any concerns we have had quickly and postiviely. I am extremely satisfied with the knowledge and caring of the staff as well. It is an excellent daycare and I would recommend it to anyone.

My 2-yr old daughter has been going to Happy Hours since the beginning of the year.I remember the first time I dropped her off.Although the center had come highly recommended by friends and coworkers, I just couldnt help being anxious leaving my child for the first time in the care of someone else.The feeling didnt last! I could tell rather quickly from my daughters behavior alone that she was happy and thriving.She is blossoming day after day and always seems so content from her time spent at the center.She absolutely loves her caregivers and has the most wonderful rapport with all the children there.This is her home away from home! The center offers a great mix of outdoor/indoor activities.I am most particularly impressed by the personal attention that each child receives.The caregivers keep tabs on your childs daily activities, moods and behavior, and communicate with the parents.The owners, Christine and Helene, are highly involved with the children and the parents. We love it!
My 3 year old daughter attends Happy Hours and we are very happy to have chose this school. She gets along well with her classmates, the teachers are very good at taking control of the kids in a gentle but assertive way, and she is learning new things daily. She often comes home knowing a new song or game even though she only goes 2 days a week. I get daily updates on my daughters day. I see and communicate via phone, or email with the director weekly. Happy Hours is a top notch school.

My twin sons have been going to Happy Hours for more than a year now. They started when they were 18 months old, they love their teachers and they have made friends. They have all kind of activities where they can explore and learn different things, is not just taking care of them. Right now they are working on potty training which I'm really grateful for. Thanks Happy Hours
Both my sons have attended (my 14 year old) and attend (my 8 year old) Happy Hours - both from Care Bears through School Age. I can not say enough about the wonderful caretakers/teachers that they have had over the years - they both learned many new things, enjoyed the day to day activities as well as the special events! I would and do highly recommend Happy Hours Childrens Center!
Happy Hours is an amazing place to send your children. I am a mother of 2 year old twins and my children attend on a part time basis. I never thought I would feel comfortable leaving my children with anyone, but they have proved me wrong. Everytime I drop them off I am completely confident that they are in good hands. The staff members are so warm and caring...it is obvious that they really love the children. The school is constantly having different events from petting zoos to carnival day. There are parties and field trips every month. My children come home everyday with some type of craft or project that they made that day. The teachers are so accommodating to all of my needs and always honor any requests that I make about my children. They are currently helping me get my children both potty trained and off the pacifier....and I need all the help I can get! Happy Hours really provides a learning, nurturing environment on a daily basis. I could not ask for anything more. The best!!!!

My daughter has been at Happy Hours since she was 14 weeks she is now a toddler and has been promoted from the infant room to the toddler room. It was nerve racking and she's not so easy! Picky eater, fights sleeping, and only child spoiled! She's been in the toddler room for a whole month and she's doing wonderful. Within two weeks they had her feeding herself with a spoon/fork. Tons of arts projects! Pictures throughout the day on facebook so we can see first hand our little girl growing. We had a couple small concerns throughout the month and the owners Christine and Helene were on top of it immediately. They are such hands on owners it is unbelievable. There is not a time I go to drop her off or pick her up that I don't see one of them walking around or interacting with the children. These two women lead by example and are hard workers. The caregivers they employ that I've interacted with are caring and patient. I've experienced all of them going above and beyond. Highly recommend!

My son recently started at Happy Hours. He adjusted very quick and has made friends. he looks forward to going every day. I like the large play ground and the fact that the classes are not very big. He is learning sign language and is already trying to each me! The teachers provide a lot of information and keep me updated daily on his day. It has a warm feeling and it is also very clean and neat!

This was the first daycare I've ever sent my kids to and they loved it!! They wanted to go everyday, when I picked them up they wanted to stay longer. The staff were very caring and super nice to them. I highly recommend Happy Hours to everyone!

My two school age kids ( 6 & 8 ) just finished up Summer camp at Happy Hours. I can't believe the amount of things they planned for the kids this summer...my kids loved it and were busy every day. My youngest is now starting in the preschool program and my big ones will be back next summer.

My 8 year old son has attending Happy Hours since he was one year old. He continues to attend before and afterschool and for Summer Camp. I considered giving him a different option for this summer to give him a new experience, but he was not happy about it. It wasn't an option in his mind to go any where else. He wanted to be with his friends and was excited about the summer camp he's experienced at Happy Hours for years. He continues at Happy Hours and I am glad to see that he likes it and feels he fits in there. He has friends there that he has fun with. Knowing he is content is the most important thing.

My twins have been going to happy hours since last August. The teachers are wonderful they truly care about the children and I know when they are there they are safe and I do not need to worry about them. My kids are in the toddler room and so far I am very happy with 'happy hours'

My twins have been at Happy Hours for 6 months...very pleased with the care they receive...staff communicates with me about their day, etc...very glad they spend time out side in the summer...something I am not able to always do.I don not worry about them when they are away from me. The sprinkler and play ground mean they will be tired out at the end of the day, and they are!

My daughter returns to Happy Hours every summer for summer camp. I offer her to go to town camp but she bugs to go back to happy hours and see her old friends. She loves the field trips, the swimming pool and crafts. She always has a god time and has made freinds she sees again every summer. I like being able to ust sign up for the days i need so i am not stuck paying for full weeks i don't need...helps keep it affordable. I also like that the school is air conditioned so she isn't out in the sweltering heat all day!

My baby has been in the Infant room since 8 weeks. I have full confidence in her teachers to treat her as if she was their own. They share with me all the little things she does during the day and alert me to any things I should be aware of...as a new mom, I appreciate that. I look forward to a long relationship with Happy Hours, my baby's home away from home.

My family has a long relationship with Happy Hours...my brother went there years ago, and now my son is there. The staff are very friendly and take wonderful care of my son. I trust them and feel comfortable during the day, knowing he is well cared for and happy.
I could not be happier, nor could my 2 year old, with the care, love and education given at Happy Hours Children's Center. The owners are amazing - always smiling, efficient, and thoughtful. The staff are above par. Communication is excellent. The classrooms are clean, orderly and well taken care of. A side note...the involvement this school has in the community is also impressive. I highly recommend Happy Hours to all of my friends, strangers that I meet! I love also getting to see photos of my child participating in her classroom activities online. Happy Hours is number 1!

My daughter is 8 months and has been at happy hours since she was 14 wks. The staff is wonderful and go above and beyound. Patricia who is the caretaker in the infant room during the day is incredible. Communicating constantly and so so observant. The owners are very understanding and are always welcoming feedback. So far my daughter seems to be well taken care of and a happy little girl!

I was very nervous leaving my 8 week old at daycare, as any new parent would be. But the staff at Happy Hours put me quickly at ease. They take great care of the babies, playing with them and giving them interaction. There are plenty of toys and everything is clean and organized. You can tell they really care about the kids. My daughter is almost 7 months now and I couldn't be happier with Happy Hours. I go to work every day with piece of mind knowing she's in good hands.
