A warm, safe, camera-monitored home away from home on Capital Blvd — caring for infants through Pre-K while their families work with total peace of mind.
These are our real classrooms — hands busy, minds curious, friendships forming.
Leaving your child is hard. We built Happy Hearts around the three things that keep parents up at night.
“Will my child be safe?”
Secured entry points and cameras throughout every classroom mean continuous supervision — and CPR, First Aid & SIDS-trained teachers who treat your child like their own.
“What is my child doing all day?”
Daily photo updates document your child’s activities, and fresh weekly themes give them something new to look forward to each week.
“Are they eating well?”
Our on-site kitchen prepares a healthy breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner every day — no packing lunches, no worry.
With cameras at secured entry points and throughout our classrooms, supervision is continuous and safety is always the priority — giving families genuine peace of mind.
A high-quality, play-based curriculum that exceeds state standards — from first steps to kindergarten-ready.
A warm, nurturing space that feels like home. Individualized feeding, sleeping and play routines — and plenty of cuddles as your little one grows.
Little learners explore through hands-on activities and purposeful play — fun and structure together to support early developmental milestones.
A safe, welcoming classroom where children grow academically and socially — building early literacy, fine-motor skills and confidence for kindergarten.
Predictable routines help children feel secure while building independence and confidence.
Loving drop-off, breakfast from our kitchen, and a gentle start to the day.
Weekly themes, age-level curriculum, art, and discovery centers.
Outdoor play, hot lunch, snack, and restful nap time.
Dinner provided, daily photo updates sent, and a happy pickup.
Hands-on discovery, guided by teachers who make every activity an adventure — this is a real morning at Happy Hearts.
“Happy Hearts is more than work to me — it’s a place where hearts are nurtured and futures begin. I have an open-door policy, and I’m always here for you.”

“Ms. Fenise treats my baby like her own. The on-site meals and the warm, home-like room made going back to work so much easier.”
