I would not recommend this facility to anyone. The atmosphere is tense and it’s impossible to check what exactly is wrong, but my child would come home and be silent for another hour or two after getting home. Always stressed and not willing to go to the preschool, crying and self harming. My child is in another facility now and they are so upset when they miss school, they love it there. I also had concerns about hygiene (they walk the big trash bin with wheels throughout the facility and carry food trays a minute after no hand washing). So much more to say…
Happy face is an amazing place! My grandson flourished and has grown in leaps and bounds! Staff has always been professional and top notch! The children are taught through play and met at their individual level. My grand was a challenging child and they loved on him and worked with me to correct the behaviors. The previous review CAN NOT be for THIS Happy Face!
Staff are very rude and untrained. Very unorganized and hard to get in contact with office staff.
