    Teachers have been here for 15-20 years!

    “If you are looking for diversity in both staff and students, this is the place to be in Portland! The teachers are dedicated and compassionate (many have been around for 15-20+ years), the facilities are immaculate (SO clean!), and the program is structured yet nurturing. Their in-house cook prepares healthy/kid-friendly meals and snacks, the tuition is affordable…I could go on and on. I confidently recommend Happy Day to everyone I know with young children.”

    some of the kindest people I've met

    “I can't say enough about this place! The staff and teachers are some of the kindest people I've met. My twins LOVE their teachers and classmates and insist on goodbye hugs just about everyday. I'm very impressed with their newly acquired reading and math skills–5 years old and reading simple words and able to add and subtract! We LOVE Happy Day!”

    The facility is organized and pristine!

    “Happy Day has far surpassed our expectations! The staff care so much about the children and their well being, and they are so dedicated to their mission. My son loves going to Happy Day, and he loves all the teachers. The facility is organized and pristine! They welcome parent feedback and interaction which is rare these days. They have wonderful activities and are always creative with art projects and movement.”
