A Happy Day Care 798 Leese Drive, Salinas, CA 93907

"I attempted to call several times with no one picking up phone! If my child was there I would be irate if I couldn't get in touch with someone! I sent an email inquiry and it took TEN days for a barely professional response that they were full. No information about potential openings, no phone call, just an email saying to check back later."

"We love Bubby and Heather! I could go on and on about their wonderful care of my boys. We are so lucky to have had them in our lives the last few years and I hope we can stay for several more."

"Where to even begin. My daughter started A Happy Daycare at 18 months old. When touring daycares Barbara and Heather were the standout choice. The minute you walk in the door you won’t want to leave. Their whole home is dedicated to the children who attend, wall to wall activities for kiddos and a backyard with soft floors and lots of activity sets. Barbara and Heather create a pre-school type setting with their structured but fun play curriculum. The attention these wonderful gals place on their activities amazes me every week. Every part of my daughters day is planned in a way to help her reach her full potential and all through play and art. As a benefit the cutest pieces of art come home, spiders and turkeys and trees all made with her little hands. My mother is constantly trying to snag her artwork because it is too adorable. Heather hand paints decorations for each holiday and everyday that I pick my daughter up she is excited to show me what cool thing Heather put together. As a result of all of this hard work my daughter is making great strides in her speech and development. She began with maybe two or three words in her vocabulary. After a couple of months her doctor went from suggesting speech therapy to sheer amazement at the progress she made. Barbara and Heather give me a lot of helpful pointers to try at home and I am so grateful for all of the patience and attention they show to my little girl. In addition to all of this my daughter is always clean and fed really well and HAPPY when I pick her up. As soon as I get the car she starts “mommy, bubby fun! Heather fun!” I’m so happy to have found Barbara and Heather and my family is so lucky to have such wonderful people watching over our most precious girl. **"
