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 has been going to Happy Hours since she was 2. She is now 3 1/2 and absolutely loves it. She is a super sensitive kid and very attached to her parents so I was of course nervous about putting her in daycare. Now there are nights where I have to coherse her out the door! The teachers are very smart, attentive and nurturing. You can tell they really care about the children. We even drive her 20 mins from our home to drop her off and even are considering basing where we move to in the next 2 years so that it is closer to Happy Hours so she doesnt have to switch. Check them out if you are looking for High Quality and Safe childcare.

Happy Hours feels like part of our family. My child is very happy there, the teachers go out of their way to answer questions, meet her every day needs, make us feel comfortable. The before/after kindergarten program exceeds anything my child learns in public school...amazing quality, peace of mind and a comfortable, warm environment.

My grand daughter attends Happy Hours and cannot wait to go in the morning.
My two boys have been going to Happy Hours for almost a year now. The staff are exceptional! My children come home everyday with various projects, artwork, or songs to sing. The daycare itself is well mantained and the children have a lot of activities to fill their day. I would highly recommend anyone living in the area to bring their children to Happy Hours. I feel extremely blessed to have found such a nurturing and caring school for my children.
My 3 year old daughter started going to Happy Hours two days a week this September. She loved it from the start. I was expecting her to go in the mornings only until she settled-in (I figured a couple of weeks), however, on her second day there she insisted on staying for the whole day and when I picked her up at 4pm she complained that she "wasn't done playing"! I love knowing that when I drop her off in the morning she is eager to join her classmates. I also love that the teachers are so professional and kind. They have an age-appropriate curriculum (taught through story times, songs and craft projects), and a nice balance of directed play, activities and free play. We are only a few weeks in and already treasure our Happy Hours days!

My children have been going to Happy Hours since they were 8 weeks old. They are now six and three and they both love it there. HH has the best playgound in the area, a perfect size wading pool for the summer and great academics in the school months. They are clean, safe and welcoming. They keep me informed of what my children are doing all day so that I know they are both learning and having fun. The administration has always been flexible and fair in dealing with me. They always invest back into the kids with new supplies, toys and playground equipment. Great field trips and party's as well. You won't be disappointed!!
I believe the best way to gauge a daycare center is by the children themselves. My daughter has been attending Happy Hours for nearly 3 years now and although she only attends 3 days a week now, not a day goes by that she does not ask to go there. The staff shows great care, and there are always plenty of activities for the children. I rest a lot easier at work knowing that my daughter is in such good care.

A great daycare for your children to grow, learn, be safe and make friends.
My daughter started going there when she was 2. She is now 10. I have a son, who is 3. They love it there and so do I! It is safe, clean and fun for them. I wouldn't consider bringing them any where else!
If you have to leave your children with someone, Happy Hours is the place. The staff is wonderful and caring. Most importantly my children love going there and they are happy.

Parents have choices, children don't. At Happy Hours they go out of their way to make it the best choice for our children by doing what they can to meet individual needs. You can tell they are really there to suport your family and make you comfortable.
My children have been attending Happy Hours Childrens Center for the past 5 years. Over those 5 years the staff at Happy Hours Childrens Center has become an extended part of our family. Everyone has been very loving and caring to my children. I would highly recommend them to anyone because Happy Hours Childrens Center is a place where, when you can't be with your children you can have the peace of mind knowing that they are at a safe and nuturing environment. The staff at Happy Hours Childrens Center truly care about the families and the children they care for. I would never think of sending my children anywhere else.
