If you want your kid to happily go to day care every day, then this is the place. My kid has been going to Happy Hearts since he was 2 and half years, and he never ever complained about not wanting to go back. He learnt his words, potty training, numbers etc at this day care. I put my kid in a Montessori for a week, they used to call every day complaining that my kid was crying or pulling the cabinets etc. I changed him to Happy hearts academy and never ever received a call (except when he is sick), they made sure my kid was happy and got adjusted to the environment. I can't thank Ms. Rupa and Ms. Rekha enough for their effort and passion towards the children. I should also mention that the price is also very reasonable for Bay Area. read more

My son has been going to Happy Hearts for 2 years now. Transition from home care to here was very easy as teachers here are very caring and loving. They make sure kids are happy , well fed and safe. My son always looks forward to going to Happy Hearts! Kids here are very loving towards each other We are a household of 2 working parents and we never got a call/complaint from the teachers unless my son was sick. If there was any behavioral problem teachers took the responsibility to teach the kid the right thing. In the last 2 years of his stay I have seen amazing personal and academic development in him. He learnt his alphabets, numbers , spellings, science experiments etc over here. They are many places which focus on academics but teachers here taught him to enjoy learning and explore/experiment with new ideas. Thank you Ms Rupa and Ms Rekha for taking such good care of my son and teaching him important life skills. If you want your kid to be happy and also make good academic progress look no where else! read more

Our experience with happy hearts for our son, Anirudh has been great! He was only two and we were apprehensive if he would be able to adjust . But the teachers at happy hearts (Ms.Rupa , Ms.Rekha) made sure to give him the time he needs to get comfortable and assured us as well of his well being. Overall, it's been a wonderful place for Anirudh and we will always be thankful to this school. read more

My daughter went to Happy Hearts Academy for 2 years. She was 2.8 years old when she started. She did not speak English, because of the second language at home. But after a while she started to speak a little. At the end when she turned 5 years she spoke perfect. Teachers are very nice and professional. They teach : English, math, science, art, singing, writing, spelling, reading and good manners. Teachers gave perfect knowledge. We celebrated all the holidays and birthdays. My daughter enjoyed to be there every day. Now my daughter in kindergarten. Teacher said that my daughter has a academic level. All the tests are 90-100%. We were very happy to be in Happy Hears Academy. We had a great experience. Thank you all the teachers. Highly recommended Happy Hearts Academy. read more

It has been a good experience so far with Happy Hearts. It's been almost a year since my son has been going to this pre-school and he is very much attached to all teachers and the school. The environment at Happy Hearts is always cheerful and the teachers welcome the kids with such warmth and a big smile, that my son is always happy to go to his school in the morning. The teachers are so creative, makes me look forward to Fridays when I get to see my son's craft and art work. They are so loving, patient and take good care of the kids. The teachers also focus a lot on life lessons for the kids, like cleanliness, becoming independent, following a routine, working in a team with other kids, discipline, etc. I love how they help in overall development of the kids and not just academically. I feel at peace to see that my son gets treated with such warmth and love, and learns new things everyday in fun ways and in a positive environment. Thanks for all the care and wish all the best to all teachers and principal of Happy Hearts. read more

The teachers are so creative, makes me look forward to Fridays when I get to see my son's craft and art work. They are so loving, patient and take good care of the kids.

Here's the thing about big fancy schools. They look amazing but most times they're also so driven by curriculum, that teachers and kids don't take the time to enjoy the moments. Happy Hearts Academy is nothing like that. It's warm, it's personal and so friendly. It's one giant room divided into different work spaces. Every single parent and child walking through the door is greeted with a smile and a hug (for the kid). My daughter's been here two and a half years, after only being home with me. She had several tough days when she started but the teachers here are stellar. They've hugged her, cuddled her, put her to sleep and made sure she's a happy child. The outdoor play area isn't large but kids really don't spend that much time outside so it's a small thing. Through Covid, the school and teachers made sure that everyone was safe and well cared for. It's time for my 5 year old to graduate and move on to kindergarten and neither one of us is happy to leave here. She reads books, she's learned addition and subtraction, and most of all she's learned social skills, how to care for younger members of her class, how to play independently, how to sit at the dining table. You can't put a price tag on things like that. Ms Rupa, Ms Rekha and Ms Jaya have prepared my little one for her best years. Thank you Happy Hearts Academy! We're really going to miss you. read more

Happy Hearts has been a great preschool for our 3-year old daughter. She has been going there for over 6 months now. We love the fact that all the teachers there are very passionate and sincere about what they do and that has certainly reflected well on our daughter. She is always excited to go there! The school director, Ms. Rupa always has high energy and manages the place with great enthusiasm. Within few months of being there, we have observed that our daughter has grown up more independent and self-disciplined. We would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their children. read more

Its a great center for kids. Its been 7-8 months since we have kept our daughter at Happy Hearts and excellence in everything is all i can say. Teachers: So far they have always had great teachers. Ms Rupa, Rekha and Rinkle are very caring, talented and adaptive to all kids. My daughter loves being around with all teachers. They come up with different creative activities every day, take good care of their eating habits, very careful and have zero tolerance on kid being hurted while at the center. Activities are well planned. They make sure that your kid is clean as well. Do a great job in changing diapers , changing their dress if it gets dirty due to any activity etc. Communication: They are very responsive on phone,emails etc. They communicate well daily about your kids progress. Important announcements are been communicated well in advance including Bdays, important occasions etc Snacks: Children snacks are very good out there and they are very careful towards every childs food allergies etc. They encourage good eating habits too Facility: Spacious, very clean indoor and outdoor space. Outdoor space is huge and is always supervised by more than one teacher. Very safe location. Teachers take extra effort to be mindful about the weather and accordingly plan kids outdoor time Learning: My kid has been doing well so far and am def impressed by their activities. She looks forward to go to her daycare every morning. Best place to keep your child and be worry free. Am very thankful to Happy Hearts !! read more

This is one of the best pre -schools i have experienced. The proof of an awesome job teachers do here is that kids come home HAPPY and ENERGIZED , and are always excited to go back next day . Both my kids have been students (elder one graduated and the younger one is still full time). They have the best experiences till now. I can say with confidence that Ms Rupa and Ms Rekha do this with a passion, and not to be a money making machine (unlike a lot of private and for profit schools). You will not find very fancy and most modern equipments and tools, but the basics they teach, hands on and DIY attitude they embed in kids is really what I admire . I have seen kids get a lot more confident going here . Highly recommended ! read more

Very Clean and loving teachers who care about the growth of your child. Prices are very reasonable with options to choose part time/full time,2 day,3day, etc. read more

My son (age 2) joined Happy Hearts in January 2017. He felt very comfortable from day 1. Ms Rupa and Ms Rekha are very warm and caring. They have great attention to detail. They do lots of fun activities with the kids. An added bonus is that my son has also learnt many new things like numbers 1-100, basic spellings etc. which is not really my expectation at this age. Happy Hearts is a very apt name; my little one is surely a happy heart :) read more

I am very happy with this school. My son has been going in this school for the last 1 yr and he learns a lot of things here. All teachers are very nice, caring and teaching small things which we as a parent neglects sometime. I am very relaxed to send my son in this school. I highly recommend this school. He also loves his teachers. read more

After having seen the foundation that my older daughter got from Happy Hearts, it was a no brainer for us to send our second one there. The teachers are simply wonderful. They provide a great balance between discipline and affection. The most important thing for me is the kids are so well behaved and they care about each other. My daughter gets very upset when it is a holiday and she cannot go to Happy Hearts. My husband and I thank Ms. Rupa, Ms. Rekha and all the teachers at Happy Hearts for taking such wonderful care of both my kids. read more

We enrolled our daughter at Happy Hearts Academy in July of 2010. The teachers seemed nice enough, the building setup was nice and the 'playground' out back was ok. By Dec. 2010 i got a phonecall while i was at work from Ms. Biju telling me my daughter fell down, was crying but was ok. So i sent my mother in law to calm her (she was off work that day). As soon as she got there she called and said there was something wrong. I immediatly left work, arrived at HH Academy and noted clearly that there was something wrong with my daughters shoulder. We went to the ER and discovered she had a broken clavicle. What upsets me most was that nobody had the same story. One teacher said my daughter was running to get her backpack and fell on the carpet. The other said she and another child were chasing each other and she fell. My daughter (at almost 3 yrs old) said 'the teachers were in the closet talking when i fell'. After 8 wks of her in a cast and sling, me having to stop wrk to take care of my baby, i decided $190 a week at a preschool that clearly doesnot have the capability to care for 6-8 children is not the choice for me. read more

My son went to Happy Hearts Academy from Feb-August 2019. He was 2.5 years old when he started, and I couldn't believe how quickly he learnt things there (rhymes, math, english, manners and etiquette). The facility doesn't have a proper class room setting (walls dividing class rooms), they outdoor play area is not as big, and might not look as fancy as some other facilities, but I would still give it a 5 star. Why? Because all the teachers there are amazing beyond words. They provide a very loving, caring and a safe environment for kids. Kids are always greeted with a big hug in the morning, and they leave the same way too in the evening. Except for the first 2-3 days of settling down, my son had always been a happy child there. He always looked forward to go to the facility, and even now, he keeps talking about the all the teachers and friends while going to sleep. I am definitely sending my second child there once he is eligible. Highly highly recommend Happy Hearts Academy! read more

I am not sure about the other review here but this school has been amazing for our daughter. She has been going to Happy Hearts for last 3 years and the teachers here are exemplary. Since she was 2.5 yrs old they have gone that extra mile which you can expect only close family member will do. Our daughter has learnt many things academically already (like reading/writing sentences, additions/subtractions etc). But it is the love that she has received makes Happy hearts special. The teachers seriously take great care of kids here. I am so glad that we took a chance 3 years back. I will highly recommend this school. read more

I send both my son and my daughter to this place, and what I love the most about this place is the "LOVE" I see in all teachers and care takers. I am not so much into academy part, my number 1 focus for a day care place is to teach and share "Love" to my kids. And I also very please to see the teachers will treat my kids as their own! Thanks and keep up the great work! read more

I had been searching for the right preschool for my 3 and half year old. After visiting several centers, I selected Happy Heart Academy in Milpitas and I am very satisfied with my decision. The school is brand new facility, very clean with several manipulative puzzles, toys, paper, crayon, paint, markers readily available to children. The teachers are very professional, friendly, and loving each day my child comes home excited about having learned new songs, read stories, and worked on wonderful projects. Every morning we look forward to going to school. Surprisingly this is also the lowest price school I found in this area. I strongly recommend this preschool for any parent looking for a caring environment for their child and best for the dollar. Update: My daughter is 5 years now and she is doing really good. She had a very good foundation at happy hearts academy. She still remembers the teachers there. read more

My daughter went to Happy Hearts Academy for 2 years. She enjoyed each and every day and was very happy to be there. Happy Hearts Academy provided safe and clean environment. My daughter also learnt a lot academically and the teachers have a curriculum that prepares the kids for Kindergarten. I truly feel fortunate to have found Happy Hearts Academy and would highly recommend this school! read more

I chose to send my daughter to Happy Hearts after getting great recommendations from a good friend. The warmth,love and care she has recd from the teachers has surpassed my expectations. She has mild spasticity in her left limbs and the teachers take so much care that she does not get hurt and ensure that she is comfortable in every way. I also like the fact that you can send lunch and snacks for your child. This way i can ensure that she gets home cooked food, which i drop off just before lunch time, and i can control what she eats. They also ensure that she finishes most of her food without any force but using toys and other tools. Academically, she has learnt most of the nursey rhymes, alphabets, numbers, shapes and colors. She is where a 3 year old should academically be. My daughter looks forward to going there everyday. I am so glad that my husband and i chose to send her to Happy Hearts. Thank you so much Rupa, Rekha, and Bijal for taking care of my daughter as she was your own. Keep up the good work. read more

My child has been going here for a couple of years now. The teachers are the amazing, the educational programs are very good, the classroom is spacious and well-equipped, the location is convenient with plenty of parking, and overall we have had an amazing experience with them every day. As any parent is aware, the teachers are the most critical part of any institution. At Happy Hearts, the teachers are exceptional - they are loving, attentive, and at the same time lay down the rules in a gentle but firm manner. My child misses the teachers when we are on vacation and every time he does something new, he can't wait to tell his teacher. Although he may get reprimanded for misbehaving once in a while, he never retreats into a shell unlike an experience we had with our older child. This illustrates the excellent way in which teachers handle the children. My child looks forward to going to class every day for the fun and educational activities. Fridays are his favorite thanks to art-class. When we moved him from a day-care to this academy, we noted a remarkable growth in a matter of months thanks to their focus on phonics and numbers amongst other skills. I strongly recommend this place and I sincerely thank each of the teachers who make this place a little haven for our kids. read more

The curriculum, teachers, hygiene and everything that you can expect in a pre school is simply awesome. Amazing affection shown by highly courteous teachers. The art work and reading kids do at this age is splendid and I highly recommend sending your kids here for preschool if you are looking for great education and affection at the same time. Teachers spend a lot of time in arranging holiday party , graduation day, Halloween parade and my kid adores his school and teachers Mr Rupa, Ms Biejel and Ms Rekha! Five stars from me !! read more

I had my son start at Happy Hearts when he was 2.5 yrs old and he continued till he went to Kindergarten this year. Both my wife and I are completely satisfied with the overall experience that we had with Happy Hearts. The teachers are truly very caring and pay individual attention to each and every kid. They have a great curriculum and have a variety of creative arts and craft which the children enjoy. My son misses Happy Hearts!! read more

We send our son for more than an year. Last year we came from India with our 2 year old kid. Through one of our friend, we came to know about "Happy Hearts Academy" and we enrolled him. First day we were very afraid that how he is going to adjust with this new environment since he was with my mom for more than 2 years. Ms Rupa, Ms Rekha and Ms Bijal gave lot of confidence that he will be fine and they took care of him very well as their own. We are pleased seeing each kid is getting warm welcome from all the three teachers.. Now he is in full time there. Once after we leave him in "Happy Hearts" we don't worry at all and we don't get any compliant on him so far. We are with peace of mind that he is with good care and in safe place. He had improved a lot in communicating, writing and coloring. Very good caring place for kids. Highly recommended!!" read more

This is the best school my kids have gone to!! My elder one went there for 2 years and younger is still going from last 2.5 years and i absolutly love this place. Miss Rupa and Miss Rekha are so loving that my kids have never cried going to school and feel so loved there.I also have never worried for them when they are there as i know the teachers there take best care of them and love them like their own kids. The kids also learned a lot there (learning not just their number ,letters but also other imp things in life like friendship,discipline,respect) All the other parents i have met in the school also are very happy with the school and have been sending their 2nd kid too there which speaks volumes about the trust they have in the school. This school is a great for someone looking for a loving as well as a well rounded learning place for the kid. Highly recommended. read more

My daughter has been going there for 2.5yrs, All I can say this place has been wonderful. Really caring teachers. My daughter just loved going every single morning and don't like to get picked before 6:00pm. If I had a choice would have give 10 stars to happy Hearts Academy. Thanks Ms. Rupa, Ms. Rekha, Ms Rinkle, Ms. Bijal, Ms Christine for such a caring and nourishing environment to our kids. read more

I am very happy with the child care that is being provided here! My son has been going to Happy Hearts Academy for more than a year now and he has learnt a lot! The teachers are very caring and affectionate which was one important thing that was not found in other schools. read more

Our daughter joined happy hearts last year in May. Initially we were very skeptical because she was studying in Appleseed and we had no issues there. But Happy Hearts beat our expectations with a wide margin. Our daughter is a late speaker. She barely spoke anything and if & when she spoke, it was merely repetition of what others said. Now she speaks a lot more and speaks much more fluently. Her confidence and social skills are on the upswing. She has become very good at drawing and coloring. I think Happy hearts had a huge contribution to play in her physical/social & mental development. She is ready for her KG which honestly at one point of time was a concern for us. The school is a nice blend of professional service delivered with a touch of home care. The kids are in a very safe environment and the teachers are very dedicated. The instruction too is a balanced mix of Montessori & proper instruction. There is always some activity or the other planned and i have seen mostly happy faces in the room. The fees is very reasonable and the principle Ms Rupa is very attentive to your needs. The teachers Miss Rekha & Miss Rinkle go the extra mile to help your child. It was a gem of a find! read more

I was about to eat at this restaurant in Milpitas but noticed a Preschool next door. Wow! You don't expect to find something of this quality hidden in a shopping plaza. It's a new preschool but the teachers have lots of experience working with children. They seem very dedicated to their work by the way they talk to the children and the parents. Too bad, my kids are in elementary school now. Otherwise, I will put them there. Come check it out! The price is the lowest in the area. read more

My 5 year old has been going to Happy Hearts Academy for the last two and a half years. I have only good things to say about the place. All the teachers are very loving and caring. I would definitely recommend this place for 2-4 years old. My 5 year old will be graduating this June read more

My relative had a school but it had to go because of a money problem. I myself saw a new preschool opening near the school that went and so I checked it out. I went to the open house and saw that the school owner was friendly and gave a heart-warming welcoming smile. The owner showed me around and gave me a brochure. I saw that the prices were reasonable and had benefits. This is an awsome preschool that won't cost you a lot and is great. I recommend it to parents looking for a preschool. read more

We are glad that we have this pleasure to write review for Happy Hearts Academy (former Milpitas Footprints Preschool). Years ago when our daughter was only over 2 years old, we were looking for a right preschool for her. Our friend introduced us Milpitas Footprints Preschool. We were told it was a very good preschool. Thus, after a long chat with the director and the teachers, we sent her to Milpitas Footprints Preschool. We were amazed by how fast our daughter had stopped crying for the brand new environment. Less than a week, she was happy and excited to go to school everyday. The teachers were kind and nice, and respect all the concerns we had for our child. We didn't have to worry about her while we were at work. Every day we were able to know what had happened at school and all those funny little things that she and her friends had done because the teachers paid attentions to each kid at school. We didn't feel we missed a thing at all. Time flies, when our child turned 5, she was totally ready for the kindergarten. She was not afraid of school or hating school work; she was just a happy school girl. Now, she's going to 2nd grade, she is still saying school is a happy place to go. Unfortunately, Footprints had to close due to current economy situation. However, we are happy to know that staffs from Footprints had opened a new preschool in Milpitas - the Happy Hearts Academy. We are excited to see it will become a happy place for so many little hearts. And those little hearts will be ready for a long student life ahead of them while they graduated from the Happy Hearts! If you are like us, looking for a healthy environment for your precious baby, the Happy Hearts Academy is the place to go! read more

We recently moved ( a few months back) to Milpitas and searched for a pre-school/daycare for our 2 yr old very active boy and Happy Hearts academy is a god-send. We settled on this pre-school after talking with the teachers and looking at the infrastructure and curriculum. Ms. Rupa and Ms. Beejal are the most wonderful people we have met and recently, they have a new equally wonderful teacher in Ms. Rekha. They carefully explained very patiently, all the daily routine, the rules etc., and they are one of the nicest people we have met. Best of all, our kid became instantly attached to them and to the school and is having the best time there. The teachers are very flexible, very caring for the kids, very experienced and really know how to take care and how to provide good fundamental education for the kids. The infrastructure is very clean and new (as you can see from the photos) and perfectly safe for the toddlers. The kids are divided into groups and they have a very good teacher-student ratio and our kid is learning a lot. Today is the one year anniversary of the academy and my best wishes for many more. read more
