Both of my children attend Happy Hearts. My son (4.5 yrs) started when he was 10 months old and my daughter (4mo) has been there since she was six weeks old. It is very difficult for my to put my children in daycare. I was a stay-at-home mom and generally do not trust anyone with my children. I had looked at several daycare centers and various in-home daycare centers. If I had to schedule a time to come and see the daycare, I didnt trust the daycare (what did they have to hide or clean up?) By the grace of God I found Edith Gates, the owner of Happy Hearts Preschool and Childcare. And she actually had a spot (she normally has a waiting list). She is truly amazing and passionate about childcare. She feeds my son three wholesome home-made meals a day with two snacks (usually fresh fruits) and accommodates to his special diet. For my 4-month-old, she makes HOME-MADE ORGANIC baby food, which is super important to me. When my son was about two and a half, she potty trained him in a week. She gave me potty-training rules to follow, and it was smooth sailing. She is a retired dentist, so she checks my sons teeth between annual dentist visits, makes him brush and floss after meals and does not have sugary food, except for the parties that she has for the kids on birthdays and holidays. She does NOT have televisions in her daycare which was a big turnoff to me at other places. I believe Edith ended up getting a degree in child development on top of medical education; and her assistants have child development units. Education is important to her (and to me, of course); she has a great pre-school curriculum. Even though she speaks great English, her primary language is Spanish, therefore, speaks to the children in Spanish and does her lessons in Spanish and English. At the age of two, my son knew his ABCs, Days of Week, months, colors and numbers 1-20 in english and spanish.As for my daughter, she is always happy and clean when I pick her up. Edith takes her a bath, gives her daily baby massages and plays with her throughout the day. At other daycares that I had visited, I saw an alarming daycare-teacher to baby ratio, so it was obvious some babies will not be held throughout the day, which is really sad to me (and to any parent, Im sure). Edith generally has 1-2 assistants throughout the day. Whenever I pop in unannounced, Edith or her assistants seem to always be carrying either my daughter or the other babies.The only negative thing I can say about Edith is: she does not come cheap. But from my research, she charges about market price, especially since she provides breakfast lunch and dinner. I am not a rich person, so of course I looked into cheaper daycares. From my experience in life, you get what you pay for. I am an extremely crazy, paranoid, germaphophobic mother, so knowing my babies are safe and being well-cared for in a CLEAN environment, is worth it. I am extremely thankful for Edith, which is why I decided to take the time to write this review.
