What parents say

• Amie Medeiros

  My son has been going to Happy Beginnings for about a month now and has been doing so well with the transition. He is always all smiles when I pick him up every day! Tammy, Carrie, and the rest of the staff are so amazing and truly care about the kids! I would recommend Happy Beginnings to anyone!

  My son attended Happy Beginnings for the past year, and it was the only daycare that felt like home. We have moved around quite a bit he had to switch centers 4 times. From the get-go the staff Happy Beginnings made his transition easy and got him to be excited to go in every morning. The best way to describe Happy Beginnings: it is a place where children feel loved! I have never met such kind, warm and devoted providers. I am greatful to each and everyone!

  My two daughters have been with Happy Beginnings since 2017. They started with full time daycare and now both are with the after school program. The previous owner along with Tammy & Kevin, the new owners, are always accommodating and have the option of full days for PA days and holidays. Their program keeps the kids engaged and happy and the staff are great with the kids. We have never had a bad experience and we highly recommend Happy Beginnings Daycare.

  My children have been apart of the Happy Beginnings family for almost 20 years. My daughter first started there 19 years ago. She was shy and nervous but absolutely blossomed at the centre. She was so happy to go to daycare everyday and that is a huge relief for a working Mom. The staff loved her and treated her like she was one of their own. Now she is 21 and still talks about what a great time she had there. Ten and eleven years later my sons came along and without even a second thought I called to see if the centre had space for them. We were thrilled when they said yes. My oldest son is Autistic with ADHD and it was the staff that figured that out by working with him so closely. They suggested some tests and some strategies to help him develop while we were working with a therapist. The time and energy they put into caring for him and about him melted my heart. Both my boys thrived at the centre and they are so fortunate to have experienced the staff there. All my kids had a great time. The staff are so easy to talk to and have great ideas and follow up with any questions you have. I just can't say enough about the centre and staff. Always so organized and clean and thinking of new fun ideas to implement. I can't imagine anyone having a problem there and if they did it would be addressed right away if brought to their attention. To the person that wrote the negative review, I can't believe as a mother that you would leave your son there for 2 years if it was that terrible. I have dealt with Tammy for years and she has been nothing but supportive and kind and caring. She still checks in with me to see how my oldest son is progressing in school. Once you are a Happy Beginnings family you are always a Happy Beginnings family. I would highly recommend them to care for my kids. I trust and adore all the staff 100%.

  We transitioned our daughter to Happy Beginnings this past January after being at a home daycare, and we couldn't be more grateful for the change. The move was prompted by our desire for a daycare that was closer to home, and the process of finding a suitable place was becoming overwhelming. That’s when we discovered Happy Beginnings, and we are so glad we did! Carrie, the head supervisor, was an absolute gem from the very first phone call I made to Happy Beginnings. She was not only incredibly kind but also empathetic to our situation, which made all the difference. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and kept us updated every step of the way. It's rare to find such a supportive and responsive team - these days it feels like you are a number on a never ending list but Carrie actually cares and even when a spot was available Carrie made sure to not rush us, she sympathized that making a transition takes time to digest unlike other daycares that were putting huge pressure on us to make a decision by that afternoon. We’ve noticed such a positive difference in our daughter's development. The staff is professional, nurturing, and always goes the extra mile to make sure the children are happy and engaged. My favourite part of the day is seeing how happy my daughter is running around the playground and when we leave she is giving big hugs and waving to all her friends and the amazing staff. We also want to say a special thank you to Ms. Erin, Ms. Nancy Ms. Kelly and Ms. Kiera for their extra love and care. Each of these wonderful ladies has made our daughter feel so welcome, and it’s clear they all have a genuine passion for what they do. We are so thankful for all that you do!! Truly angels on this earth. If you're looking for a daycare that truly cares about your child's well-being and development, we highly recommend Happy Beginnings. It’s not just a daycare – it’s a place where children thrive, feel loved, and are encouraged to learn and grow. Thank you to the amazing team at HB. We are so happy we found you!
