    Our toddler spent six months at Happy Kids before we relocated, and it truly was the most magical and nurturing program on the Upper West Side. When he first joined the Montessori program, he had spent two years at home with us, so this was a big transition.

    Miss Juana, Miss Gloria, and Miss Grace are incredibly warm, patient, and dedicated teachers who helped our son grow into himself in the most beautiful way.

    This program is truly something special. We’ve been sending our son for over a year now and it has been an exceptional experience.

    Happy Kids has been an incredible place for our daughter! We are so grateful that we found this daycare and we can’t recommend it enough.

    They learn various things from alphabet to writing, music, sports (they go out everyday), arts and craft and more..

    The communication is very easy and pleasant.

    No doubt that we will put our second daughter to...read full review
