What parents say

Happy Feet is really amazing and I cannot recommend them enough! Laura Gallego is the woman who runs the center, and she is just the best. Her entire staff is also fantastic, communicative, and trustworthy. They are seriously so loving and caring, and it makes me so happy to know the kids are in such great care. It’s also very affordable, at least as far as DC daycare goes. I highly recommend checking them out!

my daughter blossomed at Happy Feet, it was a warm and welcoming place for her to get her footing before heading off to school. The teachers have been with Happy Feet for a long time and are really dedicated to the families they're working with, the staff is highly communicative with parents and collaborative through transitions like potty training, changing naps, etc. Highly recommend!

We’ve been at Happy Feet for 8 months with our second child. While we had hoped to return to the daycare our first child attended, the location no longer worked for us. We didn’t have personal connections to Happy Feet and were initially skeptical due to its affordable pricing for the area. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. The director is incredibly organized, responsive, and genuinely caring. The space, though…

I cannot recommend Happy Feet enough! The staff is professional and kind, and my daughter arrives and leaves happy every day. The space is clean and even has its own outdoor space, which kids love! I feel good knowing my daughter is in good hands when I got to work.
