Safe, Loving Care for Babies Ages 6 Weeks to 18 Months

In the Happy Hearts infant classroom, your baby is known, comforted, and encouraged. Our teachers build relationships with each child, offering plenty of cuddles, conversation, and one-on-one attention during feeding, diapering, and playtime.

We partner closely with you so your baby’s day feels consistent and predictable. From feeding and nap schedules to comfort routines and milestones, we follow your guidance and keep you informed about your child’s day.

Play-Based Learning That Supports Whole-Child Development

Even the youngest babies are curious and ready to learn. At Happy Hearts, every interaction is an opportunity to support your child’s development. Our play-based approach includes simple, engaging experiences that match your baby’s stage.

Through songs, stories, tummy time, and gentle sensory activities, your baby builds early skills in language, movement, and social interaction. We pay attention to important milestones and celebrate progress with you, always honoring your child’s individual pace.

As your baby becomes more mobile and independent, activities gradually adjust to introduce new challenges, such as exploring textures, stacking objects, and practicing early communication skills with words, gestures, and expressions.

What to Expect From Our Infant Program

From the first day, our team works with you to understand your baby’s needs. We will ask about their feeding routine, sleep habits, comforting strategies, and any preferences that help them feel secure. This information guides our daily care so your child experiences a smooth transition into our classroom.

During the day, your baby enjoys a balance of quiet time and active play. Teachers provide regular updates about naps, bottles, meals, diaper changes, and notable moments, so you feel connected even when you are away. Cleanliness, comfort, and safety are priorities throughout the classroom and during every care routine.

My son loves it here. We love it too. As a parent, I find the teachers very trustworthy and the tuition fee is very affordable for a preschool. I am looking for a new daycare because we are relocating, the more I search the more I realize that how difficult it is to match happy hearts.

Myson started at Happy Heart when he was just one year old, and now that it’s his last year, I know he’s going to miss it so much! The teachers are absolutely incredible—so caring, patient, and attentive. They’ve created such a warm and nurturing environment where he’s grown and thrived over the years. The manager is super nice and always so approachableg . I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare experience for my son, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done to make his early years so special. Highly recommend Happy Heart to any parent!????

Our son has been at Happy Hearts since he was about 18 months old and will be graduating their Preschool this year. He has loved every teacher/ caregiver he has and is always happy to go to “school”. He has learned so much as he has transitioned through age groups and into PreK. Communication with teachers and the director has always been seamless and I could not be happier with our experience. We plan on continuing to have him use their summer program once he is in kindergarten.

I have been sending my 3 year old son to Happy Hearts from last 6 months. They are open reliably and consistently, feed the children breakfast and lunch, and the teachers and administrators are caring and wonderful. All of the teachers in the infant room are loving and kind with the babies.
