My son has been going to Happy Hearts a little under a year, And we love it . The classrooms are diverse. They hours are great! The director is very involved with the children so they’re not numbers to them. They make learning so fun and exciting! Whenever I pick my son up he’s always thrilled to tell me about his day ! All the teachers at Happy Hearts are so warm and welcoming. My son’s teacher Mrs.Samira and Mrs.Sosma are incredibly patient... more

My daughter has been attending Happy Hearts since 2017, I can honestly say that my kid is getting the best care possible. The teachers are wonderful, friendly, caring and keep the kids interested in learning. We are so grateful for everything they do to make my little girl happy. She definitely learned a lot of great things.
Thank You Happy Hearts!!!

This center has a special place in my heart as it is nurturing, welcoming, and supportive to my Kids academic and social development. The class sizes are relatively decent compared to most northern VA daycares which allows the teachers to be able to provide more individual attention.
The Director runs a tight ship but in a good way. Her number 1 priority is the children. She is very protective over them and very selective in her choice of... more

They tell lots of lies about the number of children enrolled in their class. Only when they have parties we get to know the actual number of children in each class. If they have told you they have 10 children then assume they have 15+ children in that class and with the same number of teachers. They do not adhere to state to child ratio everyday. So, obviously teachers have so many ids to take care of, how will they know about each and every... more

My daughter has been at Happy Hearts for a year and a half or so (since she was in the infant class). All classrooms/teachers have been great. They kids learn a lot from their teachers. My daughter knew her numbers 1-10, ABCs, different songs and dances, etc before age 2. She now knows her colors too. I appreciate the owner and her staff sooo much. They take great care of all the kids!

We have two children at Happy Hearts, one in the 2's room and the other in Pre-K4. We have been very pleased with the center, with the overall curriculum and care from the teachers. Our children enjoy learning and have grown more confident of themselves. Happy Hearts offers a secure and caring environment which puts our minds at ease when dropping them off every day.

When we enrolled our son, everything seemed good. The director was very knowledgeable and has a complete picture as to what she wants for her school and how she wants the kids to learn.
But, after a while, we noticed the classrooms to be disorganized and dirty. The bathroom was smelly.
Security is also concerning.
The kids can go in and out of their classrooms without teacher's supervision (I saw one kid go out one time and told the... more

We chose Happy Hearts for it's affordability and caring, knowledgeable staff. Our 3 month old daughter has only been going to Happy Hearts for a few weeks now, but as a first time parent, I feel comfortable and confident that she's getting excellent care when I drop her off at Happy Hearts every morning. The teachers are always smiling and embrace my daughter as if she was their own. We've already gotten a couple adorable crafts my daughter... more

We moved to the area about 7 months ago and were fortunate enough to get a slot for both our children. Given we had them in seprate programs before, it has been amazing to have them located in the same facility. The teachers/staff are very kind and loving and our kids are excited to go to daycare everyday, which is most important. We certainly reccomend Happy Hearts to any and all families.

The teachers are absolutely amazing and so caring. My son is in the caterpillars class and has been in daycare since he was 10 months old (now 14 months). The teachers have been wonderful with him and he has really come to trust/adore them. The children often make crafts that parents can take home and I appreciate knowing that he is having fun and learning! The facility is a little on the smaller side and each class room is one space divided for... more

After researching the area for daycare and preschool, we chose Happy Hearts for our 2 girls and we have been very happy with the teachers, curriculum and the fact that it is affordable. Our little one's are well cared for and we have not had any issues. My little one's are always happy there.

I have four kids enrolled in Happy Heart and I couldn't be happier. The kids love going to the day care. The staff are so professional, helpful, friendly and highly organized. The environment is so clean. If you are looking for an amazing place with a dedicated staff and teachers, this is the place! Thanks for the wonderful care given to the kids.

As first time parents we were very concerned enrolling our 11 week old son into a facility daycare. However, Happy Hearts was the best decision for us! Our son had difficulty taking a bottle at first, but the daycare providers worked with him and us (parents) to make the transition smoothly. They were also extremely helpful all around and provided at home suggestions to make everyone's lives happier, healthier, and easier! He is now 6 months old... more

My daughter has been here for 2-3 weeks now and I love it. I felt comfortable leaving her here and am not constantly worried about her throughout the day because I trust the staff. They have a really cool app where they update you on your baby's activities such as diaper changes, bottle feeding, naps etc. they even post pics. I loveeee the app! Staff is very nice and very attentive to each child and there hours are great 7am-6pm.
