We are so happy we found Happy Stars to care for our 14 month old daughter. She seems so happy and has the opportunity to participate in a lot of play and activities throughout the day. We know she’s well cared for, and she always comes home happy and clean. It’s been such a relief to know she’s safe and happy while we are at work all day.

My two year old twins absolutely love their daycare. They have been at Happy Stars for almost 6 months now and they learned and developed so much. Mana the director is great with kids and sincerely loves and cares for every child. The place is so clean and taken care of and the kids enjoy all the toys and activities they do there. Mana also cooks delicious and healthy food. My twins love it!

Happy Stars Child Care is an absolute God send! As a first time parent, its so hard to trust that someone is going to have your childs best interest at heart. Mrs.Mana will put your mind at ease the moment you meet her! Her calm demeanor and kind soul will relax you every time you drop your little one off. She sends pictures and videos and asks questions to get to know your unique little one. We will be welcoming our second baby in a few months and I am SO relieved to know she will be with her. Do yourself a favor, and get you a Mrs.Mana! We love her!

Our 2 year old daughter has been with Mana at Happy Stars for over 4 months now and we are SO happy to have found her. Mana changes up each day with different activities for the children from art projects and dress up to musical chairs and sing alongs. Both the indoor playroom and outside play area are always clean and organized and the children always seem SO happy. Mana often texts us with pictures and video updates and it is clear how much she loves each child. Our daughter is thriving at Happy Stars and has already learned so much from Mana, who has lengthy history working in daycare/preschool settings including Montessori. My husband and I could not be happier with the care our daughter is receiving with Mana!

If you are looking for a safe, very clean and caring daycare, this is the place!!! My only daughter joined this daycare when she was 16 months. It was very easy for her to adjust, since Mana takes a good care of her kids. The food is great, in addition to very fun activities. My daughter is two now, and believe it or not,she prefers the daycare on Disneyland!!!! I guess that shows how much she loves going to daycare :)))

My 2 year old twins started with Mana when we moved here almost 8 months ago. They had only been in daycare for about 1 month prior to this, but they adjusted very quickly and would just run in to play instead of crying and holding onto me when I dropped them off. Mana always has fun activities and new toys for them and they do a lot of activities and arts and crafts. They also get to be outside a lot, which my kids love. She gives them lots of hugs, cooks good food for them, and always gives them snacks (which I was worried about since they love to eat all the time). Her place is very clean and colorful and my kids always come home clean and happy. They also learn a lot, as she teaches them everything they need to know for preschool. I occasionally have to carry one of my twins out kicking and screaming because he doesnt want to go home! I feel so comfortable knowing they are well taken care of and happy when I cannot be with them.

My daughter has been at the daycare for the past 10 months..and she loves it there. The daycare is very clean and Mana provides healthy home cooked meals. The kids are involved in fun and educational activities as well! Mana has also given me great advice as a new mommy! I know my daughter is loved and in good hands.....thanks Mana!

My son has been going here for over a year now. This place is like a 2nd home for him. Mana and her staff genuinely love what they do and it shows every time you visit. She is really very caring, takes personal interest in each kid and works through patiently whatever be the case.They have tons of stuff to do (both indoor & outdoor). They always ensure that kids have new and exciting activities to do like drawing, coloring, craft and learning. They also have special activities tailored to the occasions such as St. Patrick Day, Easter, etc.I strongly recommend this day care.

My little guy has been with Ms. Mana for a few months now and I am so saddened that my family has to relocate for work because he truly enjoys going to see Ms. Mana and his friends daily. The kids have a safe area to play both indoors and outside. Ms. Mana is very accommodating when it comes to letting the kids get a good balance between the two as well. Id highly recommend her care that she could provide for your family/child as well.

Our children are 2 and 4 years old and they have been to this daycare center for 10 months.I was worried at first that they would be able to adapt well. But it was a no-brainer.Because Mana has an excellent ability to take care of the children and treats them with all her heart.Our children easily adapted to the place and soon made many good friends. Her assistant teacher is also kind and patient.Mana communicates well with the parents about the childrens condition and developes childrens creativity with interesting programs.Her space is cozy and safe, and the food she makes is nutritious and the children like.Above all, our children love to go there.Every morning they urged us to get out quickly and they enjoyed themselves in the car going there.I am really grateful to Mana and the memories here will be really precious to our children.

I am so lucky to find Ms Mana. My daughter had a great time here. Ms Mana will love the children as her own. She is so patient and experienced.

Finding a right childcare is a biggest challenge for any parents and Manas daycare checks all the right boxes that parents look for in a daycare provider. We know Mana for many years now as our both kids have been under her care and we love the safe, learning and nurturing environment that she offers. Our daughters have thrived in her care and we recommend her to anyone who is looking for a daycare for their kids.

I cant believe how lucky we were to find Mana! When we decided to move from using a nappy to a daycare I was a bit apprehensive. From the moment I first spoke with her on the phone Mana made me feel comfortable. Her home is beautifully maintained, and the daycare space is warm and cozy. My son absolutely loves going. In the mornings he grabs his backpack and stands at the door saying Mana! Mana! as Im finishing getting ready. When we arrive in the morning he goes running in as fast as he can, excited to start playing with all his friends. She sends photos and videos of their activities, and its great to see just how much fun hes having during the day.

Our family is so fortunate to have found Mana! We moved to the OC area last summer, after looking at several options (facility and home-based) we decided to go with Happy Stars. Mana is great with all of the kids; she is loving and really cares about creating a clean and safe learning environment. My son was already verbal when he started; now, at 3 1/2 years old and almost a year of being at Happy Stars he has definitely exceeded my expectations with his wide range of vocabulary.Mana makes healthy and delicious meals and snacks for the children. She offers a variety of foods, and now my son is more open to trying new foods. My son talks about her cooking all of the time.Mana sends me pictures of my son doing various daily activities, and also reports on his academic progress. I cant put a price on the peace of mind I have knowing that my son is being well taken care of while my husband and I are at work.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great child care in this area.

Mana and her support staff have provided my family with invaluable support and love over the past year and a half. My son started in her program when he was 14 months old. He is very sensitive and so transitions are never easy for him, but he warmed up to Mana and her home very quickly, due to her kind, sincere nature, her fun play areas, the other children, and the many interactive and educational activities provided. My son is not only happy here, but he has thrived and learned so much! We searched for an in-home daycare for a long time, and finally found Manas Happy Stars program. We live (and I work) in Orange, but we continue to commute here because of the rare quality of care provided. We had a baby girl when my son was 19 months old, and she now also attends Happy Stars Child Care. We continue to be so grateful to have found this gem of a daycare. In-home daycares are such a wonderful option and this is the best one I have seen in Orange County. Mana and her staff are compassionate, loving, and truly passionate about what they do. Being a working mom is not easy, but I feel at ease sending my children here because I know it provides them with beneficial opportunities to socialize, be loved, eat healthy, play, learn, and thrive.

My daughter has been at Manas place for 2 years. All I can say is we are so lucky to find this place. Mana and all her staff really care about the kids. They take care of the kids with love. Manas place is always neat. They have spacious play room and also yard with swings, slide and painting area. Our family is deeply apprecaited the help and care we got from Mana. My daughter often asks - can we go to Manas on weeekend as well? That tells everything !

My older daughter has been going to Manas for 4 years now. There was never any question that we would choose Mana for our youngest daughter when she was ready. Our youngest just started with her recently.Our oldest daughter will be starting Kindergarten in August. We felt no need to pull her from Manas to put her into a formal preschool. Mana has better education for the children than what I have seen at some preschools. My daughter has learned so much in her time with Mana. Mana works with the children on learning how to write, read, count, do math, learn patterns, etc. The kids get a fully rounded education at Manas. They get to play AND learn.Mana makes home cooked food for the children daily. I dont think I have ever heard Mana raise her voice....she has an excellent ability to deal with children even during their most difficult times. She is always there for the children and it shows.

Mana is indisputably talented in dealing with children. Not only is she well trained but she has a love for children and a natural gift in caring for them. Our daughter has been with her for over three years now and our son joined her group two years ago because we were so impressed with the excellent quality childcare that she provides. Not only does Mana provide the daily necessities, she goes above and beyond what is necessary. She cooks wonderful meals for the children and constantly rotates books and toys to provide age-appropriate stimuli for the children. Outdoor activities are a normal part of their routine. The crafts that our daughter comes home with demonstrate Manas creativity and emphasis on allowing the children to also be creative. Finally, my children are becoming quite adroit at several cognitive skills that I know are taught and practiced under Manas direction. We are so pleased to see that Mana provides such well-rounded care. We leave our children happy in the morning and find them happy when we arrive. This is so assuring for us as working parents and we are so grateful to Mana.
