We paid a deposit and got confirmation of an infant spot for January or February of 2021. I just…read morecalled today, 2 weeks before our due date, to let them know we are still right on track and excited to enroll our new baby in early February. We were told that despite them confirming our spot back in March 2020, they actually no longer had a spot reserved. Apparently there was no intention of contacting us to let us know either. They offered to a) keep the deposit that they'd told us would guarantee our February 2021 spot and then (supposedly) put us on the list for August 2021, or b) send our deposit back. So, we are in the middle of a pandemic, two weeks away from being first-time parents and just finding out our daycare provider isn't honoring our agreed upon start date and, if we still want to enroll a year from now, we will have to let them keep the deposit that was supposed to pay for our February spot. I wouldn't recommend this business to anyone who values reliability or communication from a daycare provider. Hopefully there is someone else out there that can take an infant on about 5 months notice.

Hands down the best daycare in Duluth…read more The teachers are wonderful. The owner is a treasure. The food is made from an on-site chef. The curriculum is interesting and age appropriate. The building is secure and they have two outdoor play areas and also a fenced in black top where the kids can play with balls and ride bikes/scooters in the summer (they even have helmets for each child!). In the summer they have a garden that the kids participate in for growing, a water/sand sensory section, and an outdoor playground and pretend area. Happy Time Day Care also has themed parties occasionally for holidays or for fun (pajama day - how cool!) and they also have a stage where they put on plays sometimes. The indoor pretend area has a neat little playhouse, play kitchen, and even a dress up closet! There are also blocks, musical toys, sensory tables, puzzles, and a huge arts and crafts wall! I know that's not all but there is so much for kids to do there. This day care is organized, professional, clean, and fun. Our child loves this day care and that says so much. My husband and I toured several day cares in two cities and Happy Time Day Care is the best we have found. Our child has been attending this day care weekly for several months. There isn't anything about this day care that I would change, although I hope they open another location some day so more children can attend because we need more day cares with excellent ethics like Happy Time.

The facility is great/ spacious recently renovated. Front desk staff super friendly. However the…read moreTVs don't work ( and had a sign explaining they didn't work that looked at least a couple months old). A staff person asked me to put on a shirt ( I was wearing a sports bra basically in tank top form). Which seemed strange - not certain why it's offensive for women to wear a tank top and capri workout pants while men are waking around in shorts and sleeveless shirts that expose their stomach and more. Feels like a double standard. Wondering if bikinis are allowed in the pool or is that going too far too?

The teachers seemed nice, we liked the facility, the children that were awake seemed happy (the others were napping at the time), and they appeared to have enough staff for the amount of children in the room. Our 2 year old daughter has been going there for only 4 days and we are not bringing her back. My husband and I picked our daughter up earlier than usual today (about 5:30pm). We went down the staircase to where the toddler area is and on our way down, the supervisor of the facility was walking up the stairs with 4 toddlers following her, including our daughter. The supervisor looked surprised to see us, but not happy to see us. My husband and I were very excited to see our daughter and picked her up to hug her and kiss her. Immediately when I picked her up I felt that her pants were soaking wet. My daughter had wet herself, but the thing is, her pants were not only soaked in urine - her pants were soaked in COLD urine. There were three teachers there at the time (one was in the toddler room preparing to leave for the day) and not one of them changed her before having her walk up the staircase? It's unsanitary, could have given our daughter rashes, neglectful, and cruel. I have two older children so I'm not overly protective, I just know what happened should have never happened. My daughter is never going back there again.
