This daycare is by far one of the most excellent (if not the most excellent) home-based daycare…read more centers in the area. Alicia, who runs this small, intimate daycare, is so wonderful with all of the children, and she very quickly became a beloved member of our family. My daughter instantly warmed up to her when we came by to check out her house, the rooms, etc., and felt right at home. My daughter has been going here two days a week for almost a year now, and Alicia has always been absolutely fantastic. Her rates are fabulous, and she is one of the few that offers drop-in daycare services, flexible drop-off/pick-up times (e.g., we drop my daughter off at 11:30 one day a week, and sometimes it is a little earlier or later with no issue), and incredibly fair and competitive rates. This daycare is also licensed by the state of NY (which was very important to me) and Alicia was incredibly friendly and welcoming when I first called her last June with a 12 month old. (if you have an under 2 and you are looking for daycare, you will know why this is important. Many others in the nearby area were very rude and/or unwelcoming when I said I had an infant!) This facility has never had any violations, which is also incredibly important. All in all, I highly recommend - she is really a fantastic daycare provider, and makes it seem like it's just one of the family watching her. I couldn't be more grateful that we found this place!

Having just moved here not to long ago, we were looking for a quality, attentive and supportive care for our 3 y/o boy..... Our neighbor recommended Happy Hours Child Care and we couldn't be any Happier...no pun intended... The staff was/is extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, caring and professional. Of course, it wasn't difficult to make the right decision to bring our Riley and trust him in the more than capable and educated staff of Happy Hours Child Care.... It's been 4 months now and he is thriving in an environment that is as structured and allowing him to blossom into the boy he needs to be. Very Happy with our choice and would recommend to every concerned parent....

Best decision I made!!! All there teachers were kind, loving, understanding, kept me updated with her daily activities even go as far as to send you pics throughout the day. My daughter has gained so much from learning and building friendships, being prepared for kindergarten ,And most importantly she LOVES her teacher!!! I am more than satisfied.

Child Care: The mother of my daughter brought her into school with hand foot and mouth disease…read more When I heard about this and told the director (Mary), she said not to worry and kept her at the school anyway with the disease exposing other children. This is not a place that takes child care seriously. Empathy: I asked through email to schedule a call to meet the teachers and it went five days without a response. When I asked the director (Mary) about why I hadn't heard back from her she immediately got defensive and just talked about how busy she was. I just wanted to work together with the school to know who the teachers of my children were and how I can work together with them for the development of my children. Value: I think that this location is mostly used out of location convenience. I think if there were another child care option in town Honey Bee would either lose business or have to adapt and improve their quality here. Unfortunately they don't have to because of the child care need right now. For context, the mother of my children ran away to dad's in Poughkeepsie with the children and now they are legally residents and have to choose from the day care options there. I would not choose Honey Bee. I would choose Vassar College's day care program over them.
