ABOUT US

What Sets Us Apart

At Happy Hearts Children Center, we believe childhood is a time of discovery, joy, and endless possibilities.. We provide a space that encourages curiosity, supports emotional growth, and empowers children to build strong relationships and essential life skills from an early age. Our goal is to prepare children for their future by helping them develop important life skills, build strong relationships, and fall in love with learning.

Whole-Child Development: We go beyond academics by focusing on the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth of every child. Our programs are designed to support the whole child, nurturing both heart and mind.
Age Appropriate Curriculum: Children learn best when they are engaged in fun, hands-on activities. As a leader in early childhood education, we use a play-based curriculum that blends structured learning with fun, hands-on activities. Children are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and discover answers in a natural and engaging way.
Small Class Sizes: Our low student-to-teacher ratios ensure that each child receives the individual care and guidance they need to thrive. This personalized approach helps build confidence and trust, especially during early developmental years.
Highly Trained Educators: Our team of highly trained, compassionate educators is the heart of our center. Each teacher is committed to creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated.

What we offer

Our Early Childhood Programs

Serving Families in Herndon, Reston, Chantilly, South Riding, Aldie & Ashburn

At Happy Hearts Children’s Center, we offer a full range of developmentally appropriate programs for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Whether your child is beginning to explore the world or getting ready for kindergarten, our play-based, nurturing curriculum supports growth every step of the way.

Infants Program (6 weeks - 16 months)

Loving Infant Daycare in Herndon & Nearby Areas

Our infants receive warm, responsive care in a calm, sensory-rich environment designed to build trust and stimulate early development. We love to see our infants take their first steps in socialization and exploration. Our caregivers focus on fostering bonding, early motor skills, and communication development through responsive care and sensory play.

Toddlers Program (16 months - 24 months)

Toddler Care Focused on Exploration & Expression

Toddlers are full of energy and curiosity! In this program, we support their growing independence while also helping them understand the world around them. We focus on early language development, social skills, and fine motor skills through play-based learning activities. Your curious toddler will thrive with structured independence, supported by early language, motor skills, and social development.

Two’s Program (2 - 3 years)

Encouraging Creativity, Confidence & Early Learning

Our Two’s explore the world through hands-on discovery, as they gain language skills, fine motor coordination, and emotional awareness. We offer a blend of structured learning and creative play. At this stage, children are developing their social-emotional skills, refining their motor skills, and building a foundation for early literacy. We encourage self-expression, curiosity, and teamwork through hands-on activities.

Three’s Program (3 - 4 years)

A Foundation for Preschool Success

We begin preparing your child for school with a focus on literacy, math, social-emotional learning, and curiosity-driven exploration. In this program, children start developing a deeper understanding of the world around them. We focus on age-appropriate literacy, math, and social-emotional skills. Children also explore more complex concepts, such as time, seasons, and the natural world.

Pre-K Program (4 - 5 years)

Kindergarten Readiness with Confidence

Our Pre-K curriculum balances academics, creativity, and emotional intelligence to ensure your child is kindergarten-ready and excited to learn. Through a combination of structured activities and free play, we focus on building strong academic foundations in literacy, math, and science while also nurturing creativity and emotional intelligence.

Our Educational Philosophy

Every child is unique—and so is their learning journey. At Happy Hearts Children Center, our programs are designed to adapt to each child’s pace while building strong foundations for life. We focus on:

Emotional Intelligence

Helping children understand feelings, show empathy, and build healthy relationships.
Creativity & Expression

Through art, music, dance, and storytelling, we encourage children to explore their imagination in fun, meaningful ways.

Mindfulness & Focus

Introducing age-appropriate mindfulness and self-regulation techniques to support calm, focused learning.
Independence & Confidence

By giving children responsibility and choices, we cultivate a sense of capability and decision-making. This builds confidence and a sense of autonomy that will serve them for years to come.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son loves it here. We love it too. As a parent, I find the teachers very trustworthy and the tuition fee is very affordable for a preschool. I am looking for a new daycare because we are relocating, the more I search the more I realize that how difficult it is to match happy hearts.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Myson started at Happy Heart when he was just one year old, and now that it’s his last year, I know he’s going to miss it so much! The teachers are absolutely incredible—so caring, patient, and attentive. They’ve created such a warm and nurturing environment where he’s grown and thrived over the years. The manager is super nice and always so approachableg . I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare experience for my son, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done to make his early years so special. Highly recommend Happy Heart to any parent!????

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son has been at Happy Hearts since he was about 18 months old and will be graduating their Preschool this year. He has loved every teacher/ caregiver he has and is always happy to go to “school”. He has learned so much as he has transitioned through age groups and into PreK. Communication with teachers and the director has always been seamless and I could not be happier with our experience. We plan on continuing to have him use their summer program once he is in kindergarten.
