Happy Daycare has been an incredible blessing for our family. My daughter started here at just 7 months old, and now, two years later, we cannot imagine having entrusted her early childhood to anyone other than Arti. From the very beginning, Arti has been warm, patient, and genuinely invested in every aspect of the children's well-being and development. It's rare to find someone so naturally dedicated to creating a positive and loving environment for little ones, but that is exactly what she provides every single day. The daycare environment is consistently clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed. The play area is filled with toys, learning materials, and activities that encourage creativity, interaction, and early skill-building. The nap area is peaceful and hygienic, offering a comfortable space where children can rest safely. Arti also makes sure the kids get outdoor time, which has been wonderful for my daughter's physical activity and social confidence. What truly stands out is how much my daughter has blossomed since attending Happy Daycare. Arti reads to the children daily, and because of this, my daughter has developed a genuine love for books and storytelling. She often comes home remembering songs, repeating new vocabulary, and sharing little stories about her day. Her communication--especially in English--has grown so much, and it is very clear that Arti's constant engagement has played a huge role in that growth. Beyond academics, Arti teaches important values like expressing boundaries, sharing, cooperating, and speaking up respectfully. These social lessons have helped my daughter become confident, expressive, and socially curious. Another major plus is the nutritious, freshly cooked Indian meals Arti provides. Knowing that my daughter eats healthy, home-style food during the day gives us comfort and peace of mind. One of the most reassuring parts of this experience is how excited my daughter is to go to daycare every morning. She walks in with a big smile, greets Arti joyfully, and settles right in. That level of comfort and trust speaks volumes about the emotional safety and warmth she experiences there. Happy Daycare is truly a gem, and Arti's dedication shines in every detail--from the structure of the day to the personal attention she gives each child. We are deeply grateful for the loving foundation she has helped build for our daughter. I enthusiastically recommend Happy Daycare to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and enriching childcare experience. read more

Aarti and Andrea have been caring for our son since he was just barely 6 months old, and they've become his second family! It's a small number of children in a home setting with good food and warm hugs. Our little guy has learned to sit, crawl, and now walk under their careful watch. We especially love that he's able to get so much social time- from the other kids to Andrea and Aarti, he's never lonely. We get daily updates of pictures and videos, as well as what was provided for lunch. When he celebrated his first birthday, Andrea baked cupcakes!

Happy Daycare - Our daughter with Jas, always smiling! - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - San Jose, California

Our daughter has been going to Aarti's daycare since she was 10 months old (she is now 14 months) and we are very happy with the care that she receives. Prior to daycare, we did the nanny thing and it was way more expensive and not as good value. We were hesitant to go the daycare route as our daughter is our first and we were nervous to send her elsewhere to be cared for. However, with my husband and I both working, we really needed full-time care for our daughter that we could afford. We talk constantly about how daycare is worth every penny as it also allows us to have a break so we can maintain our sanity. Our daughter is primarily taken cared of by Anjali and she is a literal angel on this earth. I am so impressed with how well she takes care of multiple children at the same time, as well as handling our daughter on her good days and bad days with so much patience. She is currently at the age where she is transitioning from 2 naps to 1 nap (the most difficult of all the nap transitions) and Anjali does a great job in following the schedule we provide her as well as give us feedback so we can figure out the transition together. The interaction that our daughter has with other kids is something that she did not have when we had a nanny and is so valuable to her development. Additionally, I love that there is structure to the day - They have the kids work on puzzles, play with Legos, read to them, etc. - and there are an endless amount toys and things for them to do while there. Our daughter eats/sleeps well and is always happy when she is picked up. I highly recommend this daycare. I mean look at how happy our daughter is in the pictures read more

I am grateful to Aarti for caring for my daughter since she was 18 months old. At first, we were not sure if she would be comfortable in a new place, given her previous experience at a center-based daycare. However, she wanted to go back to daycare the first day she came home, which was a relief for us. Aarti and Andrea are responsive to our questions and provide videos and photos throughout the day. Aarti makes sure that my daughter eats and sleeps well. Overall, we have had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Aarti's daycare to anyone looking for a daycare for their children. read more

My daughter goes to Happy Day Care. She started when she was about 7 mo. It was a little scary to send my little baby/infant away from me. However, my baby is being cared for wonderfully with Aarti! She comes back home happy and cheerful. The other kids there play so nicely with her. When she had just started eating solids, Aarti's team were very patient with her in feeding solids slowly and steadily. She eats much better now! When we found my breast milk getting spoiled somehow, Aarti worked with us in the evening after day care to figure out a solution. She sends us regular updates throughout the day including photos - almost makes us feel like we are her only client! We are very happy with Happy Day Care. It is a wonderful part of our village! read more

We are so glad we came across this day care and enrolled our baby. Both Anjali and Aarti are really nice folks and very easy to work with! Anjali primarily takes care of our baby on every day basis and she is amazing!!! Our baby has gotten very fond of her and thoroughly enjoys every day there! One of the really convenient thing about this day care is that they provide food, so we don't have spend time in morning prepping for baby's day time meals! They also send lot of photos and videos of our baby very frequently. This is not only reassuring to see that baby is doing well but also lights up my day to see our baby having fun! The day care itself is kept very nice and clean, they got lots and lots of new toys, our baby is really enjoying playing with other kids. Selecting a day care can be pretty stressful especially for new parents (like it was for us). Aarti was extremely patient and understanding and addressed lot of our questions.

Our son has been with Happy day care since he was 18 months old. Best home based day care with fresh home made foods (breakfast, lunch and snack) and they take good care of my son since the day 1. Aarti is very caring, flexible and responsive. She immediately responses to all our questions patiently. When my kid was not well, Aarti was flexible to provide him with no spicy/ dietary restricted meal for those couple of days. Also, they send pictures throughout the day which makes us less worry of the kids activity. I would highly recommend this day care if you are looking for homely feel, home cooked fresh foods and caring environment. read more

We are first time parents and enrolled our 15 month kid in HDC and it has been the best decision till date. Kiddo was away from home and grandparents for the first time, we were very nervous. Entire center, specifically Aarti was very understanding and keeps us informed about the kid throughout the day. We have seen significant progress with the kid, speech, attentiveness and ability to play with simple things. Center also provides quality lunch and snacks, keeping the kid well fed. Highly recommended day care center. read more

Our daughter has been going to this daycare since past 4 months and she loves it! Being 1 yr old, there were so many transitions to be done - 2 to 1 nap, consolidating her bottles during the day time, solids .. April and Aarti helped us in all of those. When we told that she gets hungry by the time we reach home from the daycare; Aarti suggested to give one last feed just before the evening pick up and that actually worked. We think it's the best place to introduce your child to daycare world as Aarti and April are really accommodating and will try to help with any peculiar situations that you may have in your hand! Highly recommended! read more

Aarti took our son in at a very short notice (literally a weekend) as his previous daycare closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Our initial plan was to put him in Happy daycare for about 6 weeks since he was planning to start preschool but then he loved it so much here that we continued for almost 10 months from then on! Aarti, Anjali and Farah have taken very good care of our son. It's great to see him happily walking in to his daycare and then coming back home with a big smile while we pick him up! Both my wife and I could work without thinking about how he is doing as we know he was in very good hands. Anjali would promptly send his pictures throughout the day as well which puts us at ease. During his time at Happy daycare, his social skills improved significantly, he learned to share toys, spoke a lot more and made good friends that he talks about at home! I would highly recommend Happy daycare :-) read more

My kid has been going to Happy Day Care since he was 13 months old. He is currently 19 months old. We were initially scared to enroll him in daycare at such a young age, but Aarti and her staff did a great job of gently easing him into daycare. When we first dropped my son off at daycare, they went out of their way to learn his routine and work around it, whether it was for a nap, solid or drink, or something else completely. And gradually helped him in adjusting his schedule. They continue to provide us with daily updates, complete with photos, videos, and other information like when he ate, took nap and woke up. Additionally, they provide fresh vegetarian meals to the kids including breakfast, lunch, snack and Milk. My kid is very happy there. And now, he cries when we pick him up as he wants to stay more there. We are super happy with Happy Day Care. I find this place is excellent for my kid!

We had our daughter go to this daycare for the past year and we witnessed her blossom from a quiet observing one year old to an active engaging friendly 2 year old, thanks to April and Aarthi's team and care! They never complain about the highs and lows of kid's growing emotional skills, they give their best to ensure that the kids play and socialize well. They constantly send updates through the day. The top most item I m extremely thankful for is that they never made me get worried about her meals. She was fed on time without fuss and she enjoyed mealtime at the daycare.

I put my daughter when she was around 18 months during the winter break and Aarti and her team accommodated her during that time which was really nice. My daughter has been with them since then primarily at April's facility. She thoroughly enjoys there, eats really well. She has always stayed on schedule with her noon naps and bedtime since she has joined the daycare. April, Aarti and Jaz have been taking really good care of her. They regularly give storytime, circle time with different types of blocks, animal figures, etc. Also, It's a real peace of mind for us that they provide a very healthy vegetarian breakfast, lunch and snacks. This was the best daycare we could find in this area and we're very happy that our daughter goes to this daycare. read more

This review is long overdue! My daughter attended happy daycare from 13mo - 2yrs 9mo and we have been nothing but pleased with the care she received under AArti and her team! As first time parents we were very anxious but after talking to Aarti (shoutout to her for her great communication and commitment) and touring the facility we really liked the place. Our daughter attended the facility at Klamath and was primarily taken care of by Miss Anjali (and Miss Farah). As working parents one of the biggest advantage was freshly made healthy meals and snacks provided to the kids , I never had to pack anything and that definitely eased our mornings. Anjali is great with kids , she is patient, loving, nurturing and stern and knows each kids needs and caters to them. My daughter loves miss Anjali and I know that besides me and my husband she is probably the most comfortable with Anjali! She is like family to her! She is also very fond of miss farah and finds her very friendly and gentle. Even after joining preschool our child still talks about how her favorite teachers are Anjali and Farah and that speaks a lot! AArti and her team have always taken care of all our requests and gone beyond any other daycare center in terms of child safety and care , flexibility and making things easier for the parents! More than anything else my child always wanted to go back to the daycare which is a testament to their hard work! The daycare also has very good quality toys/ activities , they have circle time and story reading and our child picked good vocabulary. AArti and Anjali also accommodated taking care of our child for extra hours when I was in need and had a family emergency! We are forever grateful to have found happy daycare! Recommend to anyone looking for a home based daycare! read more

My son goes to Aarti's happy daycare since he was 20 months old and we were really tensed about him being comfortable at some place. He was suffering from separation anxiety at that point and we are really glad it was Aarti and her family to take care of him as we were able to trust her. Aarti and Andrea both were responsive in terms of sending more videos for us to be comfortable with those initial months. My son also loved being with Aarti's parents as it felt homely to him. I am really happy that my son has also made friends there and I don't have to worry about him eating well or sleeping well or treated well at all. read more

My son has been attending Happy Daycare @ Payne for about a year now. He is currently 2 years old. Arti, Anjali and the entire team are amazing! We have had absolutely no issues with the daycare. My son is always super happy to go the daycare everyday. This daycare stands out in three key aspects. 1) They always make sure the kids are well fed with healthy food. 2) They treat your children with love and personal attention that these kids need a lot at this age. Anjali and Farah have been super kind and caring to him. 3) Anjali is always proactive in sending many pictures of the kids during the day. This helps me keep track of what my kid does throughout the day. They also have a strict rules about not sending in kids that are sick. This helps to keep your child in a healthy environment. The daycare is about 20 minute commute for us one way, we still think it is worth it because of the wonderful experience we have had so far.

Our son started day care for the first time with Happy Day Care. I can not recommend Aarti and her team enough. Our son adjusted to the day care routine within few weeks and loves to go to day care every morning. He is well fed and the team also help feed him the fruits or any snacks given from home. The team is also excellent communication. They send photos and videos to help us understand how the kid is doing throughout the day. When we started our son, Aarti was very patient with all the questions and always was and is very responsive to any messages or questions. Aarti is very caring and knows how to help each child to help them adjust to the routine. read more

I have no words for Aarti's kindness, generosity and goodhearted love towards my beloved son who was born in the pandemic! He has blossomed since he's been going to Happy Daycare. Aarti and her family treat my son as if he is their own family. He's loved, lovingly fed and cherished in a place that feels like home to him. Aarti helped me in a very very difficult situation which caused me severe stress in my 3rd trimester. She welcomed my son and accommodated him also taking care of him while I was in the hospital. I will never have the words to adequately thank Aarti and her family for their help during my most challenging hours. I cannot recommend them any higher for a home based daycare. Don't overthink it and talk to Aarti today! read more
