Why Happy Hearts
At Happy Hearts we are always on the lookout for new ways to engage its children in ways that stimulate their curiosity and passion for learning new things. All the while we keep the children in a warm and caring environment that enables the children to enjoy their stay at Happy Hearts. The children should and do look forward to coming to Happy Hearts every day. We keep them well-fed throughout the day through delicious breakfast, snacks and lunch. Parents have peace of mind that their loved ones are in safe and caring hands.
The teachers at Happy Hearts exemplify dedication to the work they do. They are all committed to providing uninterrupted quality education to the children under their care. This has been made possible by its long-tenured teachers, many of whom have been with Happy Hearts for more than 15 years. This provides for continuity and uninterrupted teaching. The children develop familiarity and fondness for their teachers which in turn helps create special bonding between them and the children they teach. In Childcare industry, which is known for its high staff turnover this is a remarkable feat.
Another distinguishing feature that sets Happy Hearts apart from other centers, is that we operate all year round. We are only closed for 9 major Federal Holidays. We do not break for summer or winter.
