HappyFace is the greatest childcare service that I ever had. Top notch service and the staff are so polite and kind! Five Star Service!!! Love them
Since the pandemic has been going on this facility has done everything in their power to make sure my kids were on the right track educational wise. All the staff wear their mask also they are very clean and sanitation is their top priority. Mrs. Shirley and her staff has been nothing but a blessing to me and my family.
Happyface Child are is the Best Day are i have ever used. The staff are very highly educated and professinal. I would reccommend this daycare to everyone that is in need of gréât childcare! 5 Stars Care
The owner allows the staff to speak to kids any kind of way and things go unseen also those cameras supposedly don’t work.
This provider provides excellent care, I absolutely love the staff is very friendly and professional. Also the curriculum they use helps the kids out in so many different ways.
