  • We were so happy with the care provided for our child at Happy Faces Child Care. From day one Antonia created a safe, loving, and welcoming space for them to grow and learn. She meets each and every one of the kids in her care where they are, she is patient but firm, has clear expectations, and she has an open line of communication with parents which we greatly appreciated. She takes kids’ interest and builds learning opportunities around that. Our child was more than prepared for their transition into TTK.

  • Happy Faces is a wonderful daycare. Antonia is very kind and patient with the children - she’s a natural and little ones respond well to her (especially our child).

  • I absolutely love Happy Faces Child Care. Teacher Antonia genuinely cares about the children, creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. The facility is always clean and well-organized, and the activities are engaging. My daughters look forward to going every day. I also appreciate the open communication from Teacher Antonia, including updates on my daughter’s progress and daily routines. I highly recommend Happy Faces Child Care to anyone looking for a trustworthy and supportive environment for their child!

  • We have loved our experience at Happy Faces Child Care. In the couple months that our three year old has been attending, she has already learned so much. It’s a safe, clean and loving environment. Kiddos have a great time with all the hands on activities that happen indoors and outdoors. We love teacher Toña and her patience and dedication to bilingual teaching!

  • I am very satisfied and content with Happy Faces Child Care. Teacher Antonia is great, she has a lot of patience and provides excellent quality of care for all the kids. She has made a tremendous impact on my 2 year old in just 5 weeks. The cost is fair and her place is clean and organized. I would strongly recommend Happy Faces Child Care.
