I absolutely love this daycare! As a first-time mom, going back to work was incredibly difficult,…read moreso finding a place I could truly trust with my baby was so important to me. Choosing Happy Hearts was the best decision I could have made. The teachers are wonderful, the community feels so close-knit, and their flexibility makes a huge difference. Most of all, you can tell how much each teacher genuinely cares for the children. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is happy and well cared for while I'm at work. Since starting this daycare, I've noticed my son is hitting milestones quicker and love that he is getting socialization at such an early age. As he grows, I'm excited for him to get to explore: more education opportunities, support with potty training, and to participate in all the fun events they do! A special shout-out to the teachers I've gotten to know and absolutely love: Jazlyn, Anna, Bekah, Destinee, and Summer!

I wouldn't recommend working at this daycare. When I first…read morestarted, I was genuinely excited. I'm a single mom, and I chose this place not just to work, but to also have my twin boys enrolled so I could be closer to them. Sadly, what began as a hopeful opportunity quickly became one of the most toxic and disappointing work environments I've ever experienced. A teacher I initially trusted (my children's teacher) ended up mom-shaming me to my face and behind my back questioning if my children could sing their ABCs, count, or put on shoes, and even suggesting they weren't "smart enough" to be in her class (despite her own son being the same age). She pushed to have them moved down into my classroom and later, when I experienced a serious medical issue at work, she told others I was "faking it." What I went through medically was something beyond my control and deeply personal. To have it dismissed like that was beyond hurtful. I addressed my concerns respectfully and privately with the owner. Instead of addressing the issue directly, she sent out a vague message to staff about gossip but never followed up or took further action. ( which I asked for )That teacher continued to be unkind and unprofessional, including making comments about me not deserving donated diapers for my kids. I asked multiple times for a group meeting to resolve everything calmly and constructively. It never happened. I felt so unsupported, disrespected, and anxious every day at work that I ultimately quit even though I didn't have another job lined up. That should tell you how emotionally exhausting it had become. Before leaving, I shared my disappointment in the staff communication thread not to be dramatic, but because I believe people should treat each other better, especially in a space meant to nurture children. Instead of acknowledging the problem, my message was deleted, ignored, and swept under the rug. Since then, I've heard several more staff members have quit for the same reasons I did. Yet the same individuals who were creating the toxic environment continue to be protected. I truly don't understand why. As for the daycare itself the children are not in danger, and many of the caregivers genuinely do their best. But I do believe the classrooms are too small, outdoor time is limited (30 minutes a day), and efforts to reduce outside play due to "staff interactions" is not in the best interest of the kids. When teacher turnover is high and staff morale is low, that inevitably affects the children, too.

Before bringing my daughter here, I did what everyone does, and read the reviews. Searching for a…read moreplace to take my little baby is difficult as it is and some of the bad reviews on here had me a bit worried. But, I figured I'd go in person and take a look myself. The day I went in for a tour, Sarah showed my husband and I around. She made my family and I feel so welcomed and comfortable. My daughter loved it right off the bat, so I chose to enroll her here. Its been about 6-9 months already with her being enrolled and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made. The teachers and staff there are so warm and friendly! My daughter loves going there everyday! After, she comes home and makes sure to tell us what she learned. Numbers, letters, songs, etc. Every morning that I drop her off, I know my child is in good hands. I have no complaints! I recommend this place for others that are looking for a safe welcoming daycare for their little ones. Thank you all for all you do!

What a blessing to have found the Learning Experience. After looking at multiple child care options…read morewe stumbled upon the Learning Experience and just had a good gut feeling from the get go. My daughter is in the toddlers room and absolutely loves it. The director, the teachers and entire staff is amazing. We had just moved from out of state and my daughter was thriving in her previous school to say I was picky when looking at schools is an understatement. My daughter has continued to thrive. The communication and the one on one care from the staff is fantastic. My daughter is excited every morning to go to school and doesn't want to leave when I pick her up. I love the constant updates from the staff and have always felt like she is incredibly safe while there. As a mom when I send her off in the morning nothing makes me feel better than knowing she is in not only safe but in loving hands. This staff truly cares and it shows.

Our family is back to work so we needed a daycare for our one year old daughter. After looking at…read moreseveral options we decided on Marina Daycare, which stood out for it's warm and thoughtful environment, cleanliness, low teacher/child ratio, and what we observed in the other children. It's been a few months and we're thrilled with the level of care our daughter receives. She's happy when I drop her off in the morning and all smiles when I pick her up. There are only few children (which we love) and Vitali has done an excellent job curating the age groups. Even though our daughter is the youngest, she interacts beautifully with the the older kids. They're gentle, considerate, and share their experiences, toys, and books. The teachers and staff are delightful and obviously love children. They always take time to say hello, share stories, and provide detailed updates on our daughter. There was a teacher who left during our time, which seems to be an issue for all businesses these days, but Vitali was quick to find a new teacher and she is AMAZING. I am confident that my daughter is well cared for at Marina Daycare and will recommend it to any parent(s).

Ultimately all of the staff walked off the job together due to the awful and illegal practices of the manager/owner (such as holding kids heads & pushing them into the corner, not letting the staff do activities with the older children, or not letting staff soothe the babies). The other staff were great and they were doing their best to protect and love the children, but when children are with the owner they are not safe. Also, the owner currently has the house & business for sale.
