I have the pleasure of hearing lots of opinions and ratings of several local facilities. I believe hands down Happy Faces is the best out there. While money drives this world around, Ms Kathleen runs her business on heart and soul. I strongly believe every single teacher and director care so much for every child in their care. They constantly go above and beyond and all three of my kids practice great manners, and excel during potty training and other milestones between the ages of 6 weeks through 6 years! My kids have always advanced before I realized they were ready and they beg to go to school every day. I highly recommend this center!
