Here’s what our Happy Days families have to say about their experiences! We’re grateful for the kind words and proud to share their testimonials with you.
My family has been incredibly fortunate to receive care for our 3 kids over the last 8 years (now ages 12, 10 and 5). At Happy Days our kids have created some of their happiest childhood memories (the name is a great fit!), learned and prepared for their next step in school.
One way as a parent to see that your kids love a care place is to see them at the end of the day that they want to stick around there and just play for just a few minutes more - that happened over and over again at Happy Days.
I honestly don’t know how they do it but suspect the magic starts with the incredible dedication and love for children from the center’s Director Ms. Stephanie. The teachers are phenomenal, they genuinely love the kids, have tremendous patience with them and help them grow literally every step of the way. Food from the center has been wonderful too, healthy for the kids and they like to eat it - again, I don’t know how they do it. Words fail me to express how grateful myself and our family is to Happy Days!
Thank you so very much!
Our three girls grew up at Happy Days. Our oldest is 18 today. The youngest is 10. We came to visit after more than 5 years. We were so happy to meet Ms. Marmen (Director), Ms. Hanna, Ms. Mirsada and the rest of the team. This place has taken such a big part of our lives for so long and we are thankful for the years our girls grew up here from infants to adults. We couldn’t ask for a better place. Can’t wait to have our grandkids join the Happy Days family.
Over the course of 3 years, our two children attended Happy Days, mostly in the infant rooms. We made the difficult decision to withdraw and move them to a bilingual daycare to learn another language. My kids enjoyed their time here and felt comfortable, cared for and safe, which gave us peace of mind. Ms. Stephanie, the center Director, is easy to talk to and work with. And the infant room teachers, Ms. Safija, Ms. Maryam and Ms. Fibi are fantastic. They are great with managing the littles and getting them on a consistent schedule. Ms. Rosy and Ms. Maria have also been there for a while and are awesome. Ms. Rosy was very helpful with drop off transitions, which my older, sensitive child had a difficult time with. Special shout out to Ms. Laura as well for cooking great meals and then helping out in the rooms!
All of the staff always greet the children with smiles. Aside from the great staff, there is ample space and time for children and infants to run/crawl around outside and just be kids. Happy Days also offers video viewing of the rooms and play area, which is a nice way to check on your kids throughout the day. It’s been a pleasure sending our kids here.
Happy Days is really a happy place for my 3 year old. He has been going there for the last 4 months and he does not want to go back home during evenings. His teachers Ms. Mirsada, Ms. Lily and Ms. Alba are kind and they all understand every child’s needs.
The school provides freshly cooked healthy meals and my kid loves eating with his friends there. Dr. Mendoza (Director) has organized cultural festivals like Diwali, Thanksgiving, Halloween and my kid loves them and has shown enthusiasm in dance sessions.
Happy Days is truly a happy place and would highly recommend this place.
Our daughter went to Happy Days at Cupertino for 5 years. It was not an easy task to find a daycare we felt comfortable with. After seeing several places we decided on Happy Days.
We loved the internal open space where kids from different ages could interact. As the Bay Area is a beautiful mix of people coming from all over the world, we were happy about the daycare openness to share the variety of cultures through celebrations. I must admit my wife and I learned from these experiences too.
We also felt that the daycare leadership and teachers took a positive approach whenever our child needed help. The combination of it all gave us confidence and peace of mind.
We know our daughter loved the place. We kept on visiting the daycare and kept catching up with the teachers even after our daughter went to 1st grade. She carries great memories and friendships from Happy Days till this day. In retrospect, this is what we were looking for.
We love Happy Days! Our son is going here for more than a year and we did feel the difference compared to other daycares/ child development centers in terms of how they handle kids, how they celebrate different cultures and overall the positive environment.
I like the fact that Dr. Mendoza (Director) cares so much about a child’s self esteem and focuses on bringing out the positive. Her positivity and energy is truly inspiring not only for kids but also for parents! We really think she is amazing ! We also love Ms. Mila who is able to provide the best care both in terms of behavior aspects as well as academics.
Truly a good school for anyone who is looking for a positive space for their kids to grow up in!
Highly recommend Happy Days in Cupertino! Both of my daughters went here and I can’t say enough about how well this place is run.
Ms. Stephanie, the Director and the staff are warm, kind, and friendly. Ms. Stephanie (Director) has been with the school for many years as well as many of the teachers. They are very multicultural with all the different family activities they have through out the year. Also a plus is the internet camera viewing system they offer.
It was nice to check-in throughout the day. Another plus is the hot lunch they serve the kids daily. The food is made onsite, fresh and nutritious. I couldn’t have been any happier with the decision I made with sending my daughters to Happy Days in Cupertino.
My son attended Happy Days (Santa Clara) for 2 years from ages 3-5. He graduated in 2022 and we are very happy with the school.
They were one of the first to reopen the school in Santa Clara, even though many schools were closed due to Covid. The teachers were all wonderful, not only his homeroom teachers, but many of them remembered my son’s name right away and were very kind to him. Still, my son spoke no English and hated vegetables, so we were very anxious for him to adjust to school. In fact, for the first few weeks, I had a very hard time getting my son to school.
One day, as I was driving and Mariah Carey’s Christmas song was playing on the radio, I was very surprised to find my son singing along. Another day he wanted to eat celery and my wife was very surprised. (By the way, I can’t sing an English song and I don’t eat celery.)
We are very thankful to the teachers and friends who have helped our son grow so much.
Happy Days has a staff that genuinely cares about children and their development. The facility is very clean, has multiple layers of doors for security and an efficient Internet classroom viewing option. My son has attended since he was 8 months old an the infant rooms and teachers are great. He is now 2 years old and he is experiencing a very well rounded curriculum and play time.
The Director and staff are always visible and friendly. Even teachers of (much) older children know my son and welcome him by name. They have a convenient schedule from 8:00am to 6:00pm. Happy Days embraces all cultures and celebrates all religious holidays while educating the kids about them. The parent community is friendly and caring.
I would definitely recommend Happy Days.
Wonderful school. You child can flourish under all the teachers exceptional care. They pay attention to each child and nurture them. I have seen my child learn so many new things in a span of just weeks. A once shy child has come out of his shell and learnt to interact with everyone and be kind, gentle in his approach. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers of Happy Days, Santa Clara. Do not hesitate to put your child here.
