Happy time has shown a great deal a patience and gratitude toward not only my son but to me as well. They Greet you when you arrive and leave, respond in a timely manner and keep you up to date on what your child's day looks like though out the day. Informs you if any mishaps or concerns. But the best part is they are always cleaning and sending PICTURES!!! 🤗
