My son has grown so much emotionally and mentally since attending Happy Hearts! The owners and staff have been so helpful and kind. They truly care for all the children that attend and are always transparent about what is going on with your child. If you're near Brownsville then this daycare is definitely worth taking a look at!

Congrats Happy Hearts!!! Very much satisfied with this daycare… This is where my son learned to be around other kids and came out of his shell. Not only did the staff do a great job with their required duties and tasks, but, they all went above and beyond to make sure that my son was comfortable enough to thrive.…

There aren’t enough stars to express how amazing Happy Hearts truly is! From the very beginning, Michelle and the entire team have been nothing short of wonderful. We trusted them with our daughter, Sabrina, and they quickly became so much more than just her daycare. They became family. Knowing that our daughter was surrounded by people who genuinely loved her, cared for her, and treated her as their own gave us so much peace of mind, especially when we were miles away in Florida. That kind of love and dedication is something you simply cannot put a price on. The memories they helped create, the love they showed her, and all the little moments that made her time there special will always hold a place in our hearts. We are beyond grateful for every single person at Happy Hearts. Leaving was honestly bittersweet because I truly don’t think we will ever find another daycare like them. If I could convince the entire team to relocate to Florida, I absolutely would! 😂❤️ If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be genuinely loved, safe, supported, and treated like family, look no further. Happy Hearts is truly something special. Thank you, Michelle and the entire Happy Hearts team, for loving our Sabrina and becoming such a beautiful part of our family’s story. We will forever be grateful for you all! ❤️

Me enviaron una foto de mi hijo de 2años 8 meses durmiendo a un lado del bote de basura, su maestra no quiso salir a darme una explicación con la excusa que no hablo inglés, me dijeron que durmió ahí por que no había espacio, y diciéndome que otro mil también estaba ahí justificando la mala acción. las maestras le echan la culpa al daycare, el daycare s las maestras y sobre todo que se nos está NEGANDO el poder ver las grabaciones de las cámaras de ese día. Con la excusa de que un padre de familia se negó. Les dimos la confianza del cuidado de nuestro hijo, no recomiendo este daycare en lo absoluto. No supieron manejar un incidente menor. No me quiero ni imaginar cómo va a actuar antes un accidente mayor.

We had a very positive relationship with this daycare for a long time. We liked the teachers, trusted them, and both of our children attended at different times. That is why the way things ended was especially disappointing. Our younger son was having some behavioral difficulties — occasionally, he would hit or fight with other children. We never ignored the issue and immediately started working on it. A behavior specialist was involved, had already evaluated our son, and was scheduled to come to the daycare very soon to observe him in the classroom and help address the behavior in the environment where it was actually happening. The administration knew about this plan, agreed to the specialist’s visit, and gave us every impression that we were working together to help our child. Then, in the middle of the week, at the end of the day, we were suddenly handed a large bag containing all of our son’s belongings and told that he would no longer be attending the daycare. There was no advance notice and no opportunity to continue the work that had already begun with the specialist. After years of having a good relationship with this daycare, the way our family was dismissed felt extremely cold and upsetting. Our older child also previously attended this daycare. He has autism, and at that time we made the decision ourselves to withdraw him because we realized the daycare did not have enough experience or resources to meet his needs.

Not only did the staff do a great job with their required duties and tasks, but, they all went above and beyond to make sure that my son was comfortable enough to thrive. Also they treated him like he was part of a second family. And for that I will be forever grateful. Best wishes to all of you!!! And God bless!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with it here! 😍🤍 As a first time mommy of a challenging baby I was a little scared to leave my baby with just anyone with his conditions and circumstances. They have seen my baby since two days discharged from the NICU. To me they are just as special in his growth to be able to see his growth and transitions. But they are absolutely THE BEST in following directions from special feeding instructions to his therapy session to medication administrations. I have seen the best here! They are such HAPPY people and the cleanest I’ve seen 😍. I could not have felt more relief and happier to see my baby happy there!😍 BRIGHTWHEEL IS MY BEST FRIEND! I can NOT resist not being on the app to see my chunky boy! 🤍
