Where small moments matter
At Happy Place, every day is an opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. We create a warm and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful experiences throughout their day.
Through play, daily routines, and caring relationships, children are encouraged to discover new things, develop new skills, and simply enjoy being children.

A Day at Happy Place

- 01
A home-like setting
Fewer children, a familiar space, and consistent caregivers. Children aren't moving between rooms or adjusting to new faces.
- 02
Meals are included
Three meals a day, served family-style. Mornings get easier when lunch isn't one more thing to pack.
- 03
Learning through play
Days built around exploration, stories, movement and creative work rather than worksheets.
- 04
Real communication
You'll hear how the day went. Not a generic update, but what your child actually did.

“This daycare is a true gem !!! I was so anxious about return back to work after being on maternity leave but, bringing my son here has made the transition so much easier and stress-free. My son is so happy every time he goes to Ms. Perla’s daycare. I feel at peace when dropping him off because I know my son is in a safe and loving environment. I get constant updates about my son through out the day and I know he’s not just watching TV for 8 hours straight. Ms. Perla is constantly engaged with the kids and keeps them busy and learning. Any mom trying to find care for their child should definitely bring them here. I highly recommend!”

“My 6 month old attends Happy Place Daycare and he smiles and coos on arrival. They're quick to respond to messages, made us feel comfortable, and treats our son like their own. We are happy to have found a place like this where we know our son is loved and safe.”
