Happy Faces Daycare

I love Happy Faces! I have had my 2 children enrolled for almost a year now and I can't believe how much they have learned. My 3 year old son can write his name and my 1 year old daughter can sing the entire ABCs. Can't say enough good things about this place and the best part is how safe I feel knowing they are being cared for in a loving environment. As a previous daycare provider, I was picky, and happy faces met all my requirements with flying colors.

Over the past few years we explored several different daycare and preK programs in Centreville. When we visited HappyFaces, we knew immediately that they were the facility that we would go with. The facility is always clean and the director, Jessica, is one of the most organized people I ve ever met. The staff are great and they keep the kids occupied and learning all day. My son has even started speaking and understanding some basic Spanish because their preK program is taught in English and Spanish. My son has also made some great new friends, loves his teachers, and looks forward to going to school! I highly recommend HappyFaces!

One of the best decisions that we made as parents was sending our daughter to Happy Faces. For over two years, my daughter was nurtured and loved by an exceptional group of individuals. The teachers, assistant teachers, and the director are engaged with every child and parent. They are committed to providing quality care and fostering a positive learning environment. My daughter learned so much at Happy Faces. Every day I was amazed at how much Happy Faces taught her academically and socially. Happy Faces is a clean, caring, and loving environment which felt like a second family. I would highly recommend Happy Faces to any family looking for the BEST daycare/preschool in the Centreville area.

Just started having my little one go to Happy Faces a couple weeks ago, and I am very pleased. They are very attentive, professional, and caring. I really love the daily reports I receive when picking up. The activities they do daily are superb. I have already noticed great changes in the way my LO behaves at home and the way she expresses the new things that she is learning. The staff are very welcoming and always have smiles are their faces. I feel very comfortable leaving to go to work, as I know they are taking good care of my love! Highly recommend!

As a new mom, finding a daycare for my daughter to go to was challenging so I was relieved when I found Happy Faces. Location is perfect, the classrooms are clean and the teachers are amazing.

On my daughters first day, I was an emotional wreck. I called that afternoon to check on her and spoke with the director Jessica. She was very sweet and knew how hard it was for me to leave my daughter. She reassured me that it will get better and it has! My daughter has been going to Happy Faces for about 5 months now and loves it. She is super excited in the mornings when I drop her off, and she must be having fun all day because she hardly wants to leave when I pick her up! So lucky to have found Happy Faces. I can't imagine my daughter going anywhere else.

Our experience with Happy Faces has been wonderful. Our girls really, really like their teachers, and we love seeing all the projects they work on. To us, the most important thing is for the kids to have a place that is safe and encouraging. Happy Faces delivers on both accounts, and many of the teachers feel like an extension of our family, considering how much our girls talk about them!

This daycare is a joke. Your better off finding a nanny. They claim to have small classroom sizes but every time I was there they were out of ratio. Kids never get the attention they deserve. The director also can be very rude!

Happy Faces Daycare and Preschool is a wonderful place where children are truly nurtured. It is a place for which quality childcare is the number one priority. All the teachers from the infant room through Pre-k take the time to build relationships with each child (and their parents) and encourage them to grow at their own pace in a bright, friendly place. The educational program provides an excellent framework for each day with different topics each day and a different theme each month that encourages the children to learn in a fun way. We are so happy to have found Happy Faces for our daughter and having been with Happy Faces since she was 3 months old, it was bittersweet day when she left to move on to her next school. I would highly recommend Happy Faces to everyone looking for high quality childcare.

We have been at Happy Faces for a little over a year, and highly recommend it. All of the teachers I ve interacted with seem engaging, attentive, fun and genuinely care about the kids. Mrs. Jessica is highly organized, communicative, caring, and attentive. I appreciate the way she runs the center with a good structure while also creating a safe and fun environment for the kids. I especially appreciate the way they have handled the coronavirus pandemic, in regards to communication with the parents, periodic updates, ensuring high cleanliness and attention to protocol, etc. It was very reassuring when I sent them back to daycare, to know that they were in good hands and we would be informed ASAP if something were to occur.

My son is in the toddler (pre-k) room. He has learned a lot, made good friends, brought home lots of arts/crafts projects, and looks forward to going each day. Ms. Yuri and Ms. Brielle are great, in addition to Mrs. Jessica. My daughter started in the infant room and recently moved up to the next level room. Ms. Sarada from the infant room is one-of-a-kind and my daughter would light up when she saw her in the mornings. She was always so warm and nurturing with my daughter, and super communicative and helpful to me as well. They transitioned her into the next age room over the course of about a week, and she adjusted very well to the next level classroom, and I appreciated the transition plan and communication.

We have recently moved and unfortunately needed to look for a new daycare closer to our new house (working from home, too long in the car for the kids with traffic, etc.). It is hard to find a daycare as great as Happy Faces, where you know your kids are in great hands, learning and thriving, and the rates are also reasonable. We will certainly miss all of the teachers and our friends at Happy Faces!

Given the circumstances we are living in, it is vital, more than ever, to make informed decisions on where we place our most precious little ones. Happy Faces was ahead of the curve in communication, putting forth a health protocol, and ensuring the safety of my chid pre-quarantine, during quarantine, and as we made the transition back 2 weeks ago. The facilities are clean, teachers are appropriately protected, precautions are clear, yet the happy, welcoming, loving environment remains the same. The director has been efficient, consistent, and I cannot rave enough about my daughter's teachers. You have our gratitude, Happy Faces!

Our son has been in the Wiggleworms classroom since he was 7 weeks old. All of his teachers are fantastic and he comes home happy and well socialized every day! Ms. Jessica goes above and beyond to answer any questions and accommodate any needs you may have. Since we came to Happy Faces after our first daycare fell through I was so relieved to hear they had openings in the baby room and could enroll my son! Prices are very reasonable for the area. We're sad to be moving away!

We were looking for temporary childcare for our 20 month-old and were so happy we found Happy Faces! Our daughter absolutely loved it and learned so much. They worked with us to meet all of our needs and took great care of her. Our daughter has a peanut allergy and we felt every precaution was taken to prevent any issues. She is still singing all of the fun songs she learned and talking about her classmates and teachers. We were sad to leave but so thankful for the experience! I definitely recommend Happy Faces!

We love Happy Faces! The staff is excellent and we never have any doubt that our children are in the best hands. The teachers are all extremely caring and attentive to the kids' needs. They provide a great mix of structured learning and play-based learning throughout the day, including art and outdoor play, so that the kids are never bored. My oldest has built amazing bonds with all of his teachers, which always makes it hard to change classrooms, but we know another set of great teachers is waiting for him in the next class!

During the summer months, they have a wonderful, thoughtfully planned program filled with fun activities (Bike Day, Splash Day) and in-house field trips (musical performances, paint your own pottery). The facility is always spotless and the teachers clean surfaces, toys, equipment, etc. throughout the day. Jessica, the Director, is great about communicating with parents. She often sends out school-wide information via email and is very quick to return calls or emails. Jessica is prompt in addressing any questions or concerns that might arise and extremely knowledgeable of state licensing requirements - and she takes them very seriously! This makes me feel better knowing that she is ensuring that the highest standards of care and safety are being delivered.

As parents, who you trust to care for your children is a very difficult decision. You know you have made the right choice when your child doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! :)

Both of our kids attended Happy Faces starting when they were 3 months old. We absolutely loved it there. Our kids thrived and learned a great deal and had a great time. Happy Faces does a tremendous job of mixing play with learning. Happy Faces does a great job of communicating with the parents. Every day the kids come home with a report and the teachers are always available to talk with us. It is a warm environment and the arts and crafts that the kids do are really amazing. Happy Faces has great activities for the kids like splash days, bike days, and a carnival day. We feel very lucky that we found Happy Faces.

Happy faces is the best daycare and preschool ever it s clean and the staff is friendly and caring One of the best decisions that i made was sending my daughter there For over three years, and I really recommend it

Happy Faces has been a huge piece of my children's lives for 3 years now. I remember leaving my now 2.5 year old there when she was 11 weeks old for the first time. I felt like I was in a black hole. A few days later, I felt worlds better because of the amazing care my daughter received. A year and a half later, my 2nd daughter started as a 7 week old. Both of my girls smile and run/reach for their teachers every morning when we arrive to Happy Faces - and really, that is all I need to know as a parent. The teachers are funny, caring, firm, and intelligent. They make sure the babies are loved, hugged, and clean. I cry each time one of my daughters transitions into the next room because of how wonderful the teachers are...only to be amazed at the next group of teachers we encounter as well. I love Happy Faces and have already recommended to many of my mommy friends.

We feel so fortunate to have found Happy Faces Daycare! The director does an excellent job of communicating with parents and all the staff provide such a warm and inviting atmosphere for the children. They truly work with the kids to develop healthy habits, focus on social and emotional well being, and preparation for school aged years.

Happy Faces Daycare is such an amazing place. Before the pandemic they were always great with communication, sending emails about illness at the school, and really great with infection control. During the initial days of the pandemic, I was put on bedrest with my second pregnancy and was so happy to know that the daycare was open for essential workers and adhered to all CDC guidelines. I confidently sent my son everyday knowing he was well cared for and in a clean, infection free environment. Today both my sons attend Happy Faces Daycare and I could not be happier. As a health care worker, I would recommend Happy Faces to anyone seeking exceptional care for their children in well controlled environment. Both staff and parents wear masks, and ratios in the classrooms are based on CDC guidelines. When anyone exhibits COVID symptoms, a negative test is always reported via email maintaining confidentiality of all parties involved. Happy Faces is the place to be.

Absolutely love this school! Ms. Jessica plans great activities to include parents like an annual art show, Thanksgiving lunches, festivals on the weekend. This place has been a blessing for my family!

Happy Faces has been the best preschool for my son. He has grown academically as well as socially with the many special friends he has made. The teachers are great and I always felt safe leaving him in their care. The director, Jessica, goes above and beyond to work with your family and accommodate and address any concerns. I fully recommend Happy Faces!

I can t say enough good things about this wonderful place. My son has the absolute great teachers who take such good care of him and genuinely love him and love their jobs. So thankful for the people here and that we found this daycare!

Happy Faces was a blessing to find for our grand daughter. She needed a caring place that offered consistency and fun, after her home life was disrupted. We are so grateful to all the staff! She spend 4 years at Happy Faces. Bella received a great foundation for school and is doing wonderful in Kindergarten. She always will remember the fun activities, summer fun and teachers.

I personally am very impressed with professionalism, cleaniness, safety and apperance of school and grounds! It's a beautiful home away from home!

Thanks Ms. Nayana :)

The Perez Family

Happy Faces is not babysitting! And it's not comparable to any child care center. It is families in relationships with professional care providers in an environment that becomes a second home. My son has been attending Happy Faces for a little over one year, and the amount of educational growth I have witnessed leaves me in awe. I have experienced one other daycare... the energy there was nothing compared to the partnership, trust, care, and education that Happy Faces provides. I remember the first moment I walked in to learn a bit more about Happy Faces...my son and I were greeted warmly and genuinely. Both Jessica and Nayana assured me and essentially translated an undeniable feeling, that this would be a beautiful fit for my son. It has never been easy to leave my son anywhere, even with family, but Happy Faces feels like an extension of our home. Jessica, the director, is super visible, always doting to the children, and extremely open and responsive. Nayana, the owner, touched me with her personal story the first day I enrolled, and I know her vision is a reality. All of the teachers are connected, consistently smiling, and vibing love. Thank you so so much to Happy Faces! You enrich my baby boy and help ease my mind. I am forever grateful to the instrumental part you play in our daily lives.

My tiny human has been going to Happy Faces for a touch longer than 2 years. She really likes school, her teachers and the director, Ms. Jessica. Its clear they work with the classes, as she comes home singing songs and out of the blue recognizing and discussing, at a toddler level, new and unexpected things.

My tiny human will continue with Happy Faces for the forseeable future without a doubt.

Our two children have truly thrived at Happy Faces! The teachers are so nurturing, and communication is consistent. Both of my daughters have enjoyed the activities and learning, and look forward to going each day. I am extremely impressed with how the director, Jessica, has taken every precaution during COVID-19. We feel thankful to have Happy Faces as our child s home away from home!

My youngest child will be "graduating" from Happy Faces in a few short weeks and we will miss the HF family terribly!! The teachers and staff provided a loving and educational experience for my daughter (rising 2nd grader) and my son (rising kindergartner) -- we couldn't have been happier. The facility is clean and comfy, communication is timely and informative, and everyone -- EVERYONE -- wears a smile. We chose Happy Faces over 2 other centers and haven't once questioned our choice.

We have been very fortunate to have our little one attend Happy Faces. We switched providers and have been very pleased with our experiences; clean spaces (very few sick days during our time here!), rotation of activities and academic content ( that our toddler can understand, talk about, remember and be excited about). After a couple of months there we had to stop going due to the pandemic, and our little one missed it daily (and so did we!), as soon as they were able to accept more families back we returned and our toddler has loved every day of it! There are not tears about going to school, conversations about friends and songs being "sung" as she is also constantly also talking about her favorite teacher!

My son has been attending Happy Faces for a little over a year now. We are very happy with our experience and really love how all the teachers know my sons name and seem to care so much. Ms. Sarada was an amazing teacher and made leaving my newborn a much easier experience and provided me the piece of mind I needed.

We are thoroughly loving this daycare (Happy Faces, Centreville). Our girls, ages 1 & 4, are always happy & excited to go to school every morning, and in equally good spirits at pm pickup. Definitely not the case with past 2 daycare's we've attended, where our now 4 year old would have regular morning meltdowns/tantrums about school. This all changed when starting Happy Faces a few months ago. She's literally a whole different kid these days - consistently so happy & positive about school!:-)And she hasn't had one single tantrum or crying episode about going to school since starting. The teachers are all excellent, having clearly built strong & trusting bonds with the kids. Communication is thorough and happens daily, through both written logs & weekly newsletters.The cleanliness & organization is impeccable, and the teachers all wear masks. The girls are so proud & excited about the fun things they've done or created at school that day. We can't say enough good things about this place! :-)

Mrs Roberts does an amazing job ... She's amazing with children.....

Very happy with Happy Faces. My son has been going to Happy Faces since he is 3 months old and I am very satisfied. He runs in every morning and does not look back. The couple of times I have made suggestions, they were seriously considered and implemented. They put a lot of work into the cleanliness of the facilities. I go to work every day and feel comfortable that my son is safe and taken care of.

Our family found Happy Faces 4 years ago and were impressed from day 1 during the walk-through by the Director, Ms. Jessica. The attention to detail, colorful and well organized, not to mention CLEAN rooms and hallways, along with a set schedule so you know when your kid will be doing what, were all contributing factors to make it an easy decision to go with Happy Faces four years ago for our daughter. We couldn't be happier with our decision! Ms. Jessica, along with the wonderful, caring, supportive teachers that are all trained well make the place what it is, which honestly is great! Our son is now there as well, and both kids are always happy and smiling when we pick them up, which gives us great peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands. Highly recommended!

We transferred our son to your center from a home daycare that did not work for us any longer. It was a nervous transition for us, especially mommy. We were unsure of having our son in a daycare center with many children in fear of him being just a number, but having him at Happy Faces has turned out to be a good experience. With the help of their amazing teachers, our son was happy and transitioned smoothly. We knew it was going to be ok when our son reached for Ms. Monet and Ms. Berta the second day. The teachers were great with us, too. They called us and checked in to let us know everything was going well. They also happily accepted our phone calls to check in. We appreciate having our son at a daycare that cares and fosters relationships with the parents as well as the children.
We love Happy Faces and so does our son. His smiles and excitement of being there says it all.

Happy Faces is truly a gem! Ms. Jessica (director) and all of the teachers we have gotten to know over the past two years have all been incredibly loving and gifted at connecting with the children. When the pandemic began, Happy Faces did an excellent job communicating their new safety protocols, and they have continued to keep parents well informed. They are committed to the safety and well-being of all of the children at Happy Faces. In addition they have found ways to keep everyone connected during this challenging time (virtual read alouds, craft ideas, etc.). Happy Faces is one of a kind, and we feel fortunate to have been a part of their family.

Our family has been using Happy Faces for the past 10 years! We appreciate the fun, welcoming learning environment that is provided at Happy Faces. You can always count on a clean place to play and teachers who are patient and loving. They are always up to standards and regulations and I LOVE the predictable schedule they stick to. Our kids love going to school. Thank you, Happy Faces!

Our daughter absolutely loves Happy Faces daycare! From Day 1 she was excited to learn and spend time with her teachers and classmates. We feel very safe sending her there during this uncertain time. Safety is top priority for HF!

We have trusted them to watch and care for our kids since they were 3 months old, and not once have we questioned if our kids were being treated fairly or kindly. Respectful staff and a truly great environment for the kids. Our kids truly love it here!

My child has been going here for about 4-5 months now, this place is highly recommended! They have a super clean establishment, the staff actively cleans all areas where the kids are eating and having activities. The staff is wonderful, my daughter loves the people who work here which is all a parent could ask for. They run the day care in a professional manner and are always happy to work with our preferences and wishes in raising our child. If you're looking for childcare services look no further

We could not have been more pleased with the care our son received at Happy Faces! He started when he was just about 3 months old, and loved it from day one. They were great about getting him on a schedule and always gave feedback on how he was doing (along with suggestions). As a first time parent, I found this very helpful!

I was able to nurse him during my lunch hour and felt very welcomed. All of the teachers in his room genuinely cared for the children and I felt like he was very safe with them.

We unfortunately moved out of the area and had to switch when our son was 7 months old. But we seriously considered making the extra drive just to keep him here. Leaving Happy Faces was by far the hardest part about moving.

If you must have your child in daycare, I really recommend Happy Faces.

We have been at Happy Faces for almost 2 years. We love the friendly atmosphere in each of the classrooms and the teachers definitely have the children s best interest in mind each and every day. There is a great balance between play and learning that we found very important for development. We are thankful to have found such a great day care!!

We LOVE Happy Faces! Top notch care and safety for our little ones. As a parent, I have always felt 100% confident and secure about bringing my children here. Ms. Jessica does a phenomenal job managing the school and we've been impressed all along the way. Communication is important and we've always felt like we receive timely information. Our kids are happy and thriving and we feel very blessed to be members of the Happy Faces family! Happy Faces staff get an A+ :-)

Happy Faces was able to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic to allow essential parents to continue to work during these crazy times. As my husband and I both are considered essential, this was a lifesaver. Happy Faces did an amazing job of keeping the school clean, the kids separated but never isolated, and always kept us informed via email as the situation changed. The teachers all wear masks and are constantly cleaning to keep the kids safe. They have also encouraged hand-washing, which is so important right now and so hard to get little kids to do. My sons have never been scared or upset, even as their routines have been turned upside down by this virus and I know a lot of that is due to the wonderful teachers at Happy Faces. We loved Happy Faces prior to the virus and we are so glad we were able to keep our kids going there as the pandemic has continued. I have never once been worried about them going to daycare during this entire time. I know that if the situation changes again due to COVID-19, Happy Faces will reach out immediately to let us know what they are doing and what options we, as parents have.
