Description: The YMCA Happy Day Child Care Center is a place where youngsters thrive in a warm and secure environment. Our seasoned and caring staff ensure that our children have fun while setting the foundation for academic and social-emotional skills. The center features excellent, caring bilingual teachers, and an enriching curriculum filled with enjoyable and stimulating activities.
Designed so that preschoolers have fun while they develop basic academic and social skills needed for kindergarten and future grades. Children play in our gym or playground daily. Swim lessons are provided weekly for 3 to 5 year olds.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
