My son was in the care of Happy Bunch from the age of 4 months old to 5 years old and I am so thankful to have had him at Happy Bunch. Right away you can tell that Lotty is a very caring and attentive daycare/preschool provider and she proved to be so throughout the years. My son benefited so much from her structure and routine that she provides as well as the multitude of preschool skills and learning from Happy Bunch that prepared him very well for Kindergarten. She also teaches the kids some Spanish and they sing songs in both English and Spanish which we loved. She also does pool parties in the summer for the kids and a very nice holiday celebration/graduation. Another thing that we really appreciated was her cleanliness and maintenance of hygiene of Happy Bunch and the kids, for example she has everyone (including parents!) take off their shoes before entering the home, she keeps the kids clean (after diaper changes or if clothes get dirty at all she changes them), and she teaches the kids how to wash their hands after bathroom, before eating, etc. The most important thing that a childcare place can provide is knowing that your child is safe in her hands and Lotty provides this. Happy Bunch is really the whole package!

What a wonderful home to take your children to! Lotty is an awesome. teacher ! Children are loved, well cared for and taught reading, writing, numbers, songs and other skills that get them ready for school. They also learn social skills, respect and some Spanish too ! The food is nutritious, healthy and balanced. Kids love this place and miss it when they go home! the support staff is caring and loving and take the time to provide each child with the time they need to learn at their own pace.Highly recommend this place!

Our two boys both started in Lottys program as infants and stayed with her until they were in elementary school. Our boys learned so much from Lotty and her program. Lotty provided daily activities, such as circle time and singing and dancing, as well as academic curriculum. Her home was always clean and tidy, and it is completely set up for children to enjoy and explore their environment, enhancing both their fine and gross motor skills.We were always very impressed with Lottys organizational skills. She kept track of each days events and our boys activities. She always kept us informed of any changes in their routine. Lotty made sure that we received a monthly newsletter, which was filled with valuable information pertaining to the children and the upcoming events. She kept the lines of communication open and was conscientious in notifying us ahead of time about any program changes. She was also open to hearing feedback on any questions or concerns we had with our boys.Both of our boys were given a lot of love and care and we feel like Lotty and her family are part of our extended family. Although this is her business, she genuinely loves the children and it shows in her care and attentiveness each day.

We were so pleased when Lotty found a spot for our little guy with not much time before my wife and i had to go back to work.We hoped that the Happy Bunch was going to provide us with a clean, safe and professional environment for our son to be able to grow and prepare for Kindergarten. What we got was all that and a whole lotta love too, everyday we drop our child off it feels like we are handing him off to family.Thank you Lotty and crew for providing us with such an amazing opportunity for our little Chase to flourish and grow in such a melting pot of culture and fun!

The Happy Bunch took care of both of my children from the time they were four months old. She always updated me on how their day was and reinforced the behaviors/manners we wanted in our house. She has a Spanish-immersion program so my children have an understanding of Spanish. She was the best and we appreciated our many years there!!

I am an educator of 14 years. I was referred to The Happy Bunch by other educators whom I trusted. Lotty and her staff had taken care of my children since they were only a few months old. My children thrived in the enviroment that she provided them. Its not just babysitting, its a child development program that teaches children the skills they need to enter kindergarten. My children learned everything I needed them to learn while I was working teaching other children at my school. These skills include letter sounds, shapes, colors, numbers, writing, sight words, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, collaboration, art, cooking, physical education, imaginative play, manners, Spanish, the childs own heritage, and so much more. It was hard to get them to want to leave when I came to pick them up.She is like family and is always warm and friendly when you come to the door. She tells you about your kids day, their successes, and the moments that came with challenges. She praises them and holds them accountable for their behavior. My children were completely prepared for kindergarten. Today, I have two honor roll students who are well-rounded and polite.Lotty was a big part of that! It was a sad day when my last child entered the school system and they did not get to see Lotty everyday.If you want a large, impersonal commercial daycare program, this is not for you. If you want someone who will love your child and take care of them as if they are family, The Happy Bunch is for you!

Both my boys attended Lottys Happy Bunch over a period of 5 years. We trusted Lotty and her staff to provide excellent care, instruction, and education over the years. My children have such happy memories from those early years and still talk fondly of their time at Lottys. The early years are so important and Lotty gave both my boys a great start in life in so many areas.

I found The Happy Bunch after a bad experience with a previous sitter and so I asked a lot of questions going in. Lotty was happy to answer every question and have me sit in to observe her structure. Both of my sons thrived while with her. I continued after school care for my oldest while my little one was still full time with her. I am very thankful for the three years my sons spent in her care.

I can’t say enough about The Happy Bunch. My daughter spent almost five years here. She started at six months and we left when she started kinder. When she turned three some friends asked if we were going to move her to a pre-school to which we replied no way. Lotty and her staff do such a great job at teaching the kids everything they would learn in a pre-school there was no reason to move her. She stays up to date with her credentials and the kids are always busy with learning and activities. Plus the love that Lotty has for the kids is one that would be hard to find. My daughter loved going to The Hapoy Bunch. If you are looking for an in home daycare/learning center for your children I would recommend Lotty. Being a working mom the biggest concern was finding a place that I would feel comfortable leaving my daughter with, and I found that at The Happy Bunch. I always knew my baby girl would be very well taken care of.I will also add that the Hapoy Bunch is extremely clean. Lotty insists on things being extremely sanitary which any mother or father can appreciate. I looked at a lot of in home day cares before finding Lotty and she’s the best.I look at reviews often when ever I am considering a purchase so want to be fair to say that the only thing that was sometimes difficult was that I did not work for the state so at times had to coordinate alternate care if it was a state holiday and she was closed but work was still open. I will say though that she is very good about giving advance notice so plenty of time to plan ahead. This was totally okay by me as my daughter’s happiness was the priority and Lotty and the happy Bunch were her home away from home.
