Our goal is to build self esteem and foster a love for learning in each child. Through a safe and secure environment and trusting relationships, children learn and grow. At Happy Hours, each child is worthy of the best we have to give. Our infant/toddler cottage cares for children 8 weeks to 3 years old.Preschool children ages 3 to 5 years enjoy hands-on learning from our theme based curriculum. Children are supported and encouraged as they discover new things and develop skills. Our School-Age Program provides "Before" and "After" school care, as well as Summer Camp and school holiday/snow day care. We offer parents peace of mind and children a safe and trusting environment. This spacious, School-Age Center was funded by IBM and designed to appeal to the varied interests and development levels of the School-Age Child. We are a fully licensed day care center providing a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive and flourish. From the moment you enter our friendly, welcoming day care center you'll know your child is in the right place. We focus on providing each child the caring, attentive, individualized care and age-appropriate interactive activities they need to be happy, health and well socialized.

My daughter recently started at Happy Hours and I have been very impressed how attentive the staff is, how they make me feel comfortable and how easy the adjustment to the new center has been. The school is clean and there are lots of things for the children to do....very pleased so far!

My 19 month old son just started at Happy Hours. His first day he napped, ate well, played and was smiling when I picked him up. I feel so much relief knowing he is adjusting! The toddler staff provides me with lots of detailed information and the Center welcomes ( and encourages) my phone calls to check in on him. I have been happy so far and feel confident I made the right choice for my child.

My grandchildren have attended Happy Hours from the Infant Room, continuing through the School Age Program. I have found Happy Hours to be a home away from home to each of them. Not only were they prepared to learn through developmental programs but they received the nurturing that has made them secure individuals. It is a school which I would highly recommend to families with child care needs.

very satisfied with this school. my daughter has been there one month and knows every teacher by name, even the ones that don't care for her! The staff are always looking to see what they can do to make her experience the best. The rented a bus to take the kids apple picking and pumpkin picking and I was able to go along. I can see us continuing a long relationship with happy hours.

I could not be happier with the child care provided to my son at Happy Hours! He is in the three year old "Care Bear" room, and every day it seems like he comes home having learned something new. His teachers are extremely attentive and caring. This was such a fabulous choice for us.

We are glad we picked this day care for our daughter. She adjusted very quickly and looks forward to going. We have peace of mind knowing she is happy and safe when we are working. We also like that the teachers have lesson plans and teach our daughter, not just child care.

We have been very satisfied with this Center! The staff is amazing and show real concern for my daughter and her needs. I feel confident leaving her and appreciate the communication I receive about her daily happenings. There is always something fun going on. Yesterday they had a party for the end of the summer with pony rides, a bouncy house and carnival games set up. The pool for the summer is great! In a nut shell, I am very happy that I chose this center!

Very pleased with Happy Hours. My son looks forward to going. He has been there for 4 years and it has been a great experience. He has made lots of friends and has learned a lot that will help him in Kindergarten. I feel confident the teachers have prepared him for public school. We will continue to use Happy Hours for after school care which is very convenient, since Wappingers Schools only have a half day kindergarten.

Happy Hours is an extension of our family. They try to do the best for each individual child. The staff is wonderful and it is clear they enjoy children. There is good communication between us.There is always fun activities going on. the play yard is large and shaded. The pool is great in the summer.

Happy Hours is a place that my child receives quality care...The staff is warm and nurturing as well as presenting a program that meets her developmental needs. They are very accommodating and ready to help meet the needs of the whole family as needed. Happy Hours does uphold their school philosophy which is evident once you are in the program. The center is a safe, healthy environment which is well maintained. I would highly recommend Happy Hours if you are in need of childcare. My child has been cared for at this center since she was an infant and is now in the school-age program with others that have been in the program with her. Throughout the years we have been very satisfied and thankful that we made Happy House our choice for our child.
Happy Hour is priced very reasonably and has great teachers and a wonderful atmosphere for learning and playing alike. Thye give the oppotunities a child needs to explore and yet still accomodate the necessity for structure. The teachers are very good at communicating and establishing relationships with the children, which is very important to me

My daughter had just turned three when she came to the center. She had always been at home with me, and given her being hesitant and wanting "mommy", the teachers made her transition much easier for her as well as me the parent. The center not only focuses on socialization and play but makes sure a curriculum is in place especially for the three's class as well as the 4's and 5's. This center has home like feel and the teachers are loving, warm and great with communication.

Incredible place for our 5 and 2 year old. We cannot say enough good things about the teachers and owners. They go out of there way to make sure our children are well cared for and loved during the day when we can't be with them. It means the world to my husband and I and we highly recommend Happy Hours Children's Center. Brandyn Plato

Very satisfied with the care, attention and pre-school approach to education. My sons have been part of each age group at Happy Hours over a span of 7 years and even in the event of any minor concers, they were addressed immeidately. The summer program and large play areas offer plenty of space and variety for all age groups. I like it because it still has a small center feel. Values based learning and and approach to structured activities for all age groups. I would highly recommend this center for infants through school aged care! Warm, calm demeanor of the teachers. My boys love it and have made lots of friends there. I have trusted many of the sitters even for after hours care on a personal basis.

We changed from another day care that was run more like a business then care giving. When our toddler started crying, not sleeping and hated going to 'school' we changed to Happy Hours! It was the best decision we have made for care! He is a different kid. He loves it! Has a great attitude, and enjoys going to 'school' and seeing his friends. We are extremely Happy Hours. I would not suggest anywhere else! This center really cares.
