What Makes Happy Hearts the Parents' Choice
What our parents say about their Happy Hearts experience...
"Thanks to Happy Hearts, Evan is very kind and considerate teenager today. Because he had those early experiences with special needs children, he has a greater appreciation for who he is and what he can give to others. We also loved having the pool, all of the arts, and a nurse right there. I feel privileged to have heard about Happy Hearts from a friend, and to have given this opportunity to my son."
Lisa Watkins
Mother of Evan, a Happy Hearts Graduate
"We did a lot of research about what to look for in a preschool, and found all of it here. There isn't a big turnover with teachers - which says a lot about the quality of the organization. People are very compassionate and giving, intelligent and well-qualified in their areas. As a first time mom, I often had questions and it was wonderful to have a nurse available. She always made me feel that my questions were welcome."

Mother of Jacob, a Happy Hearts Graduate
"I am convinced that the foundation of my daughter's personal philosophy of tolerance, her appreciation for diversity, and her genuine empathy for others is rooted in her Happy Hearts experience. At the time of her enrollment, I felt that having a quality inclusive preschool at my place of work was a benefit. Looking back at the educational and social impact of my daughter's participation in the program, I see Happy Hearts as a privilege - and I recommend the program whenever I have the opportunity."

Mother of Erin, a Happy Hearts Graduate
"When I moved to Erie I was very concerned about where I was going to send my daughter for Preschool/Daycare. A friend told me about Happy Hearts. I never imagined the treatment that my daughter received would be so great! I have had my children in several different programs over the years and I have to say that Happy Hearts is the best. When I found out that I was pregnant with my 3rd child, it was a comfort knowing that I had a place to send her with people that I trust. They truly are like family!
Thank you to everyone at Happy Hearts for treating my children like your own!"

"Happy Hearts has been a tremendous experience for my grandson! At four years old, he had been through some difficult transitions and the staff at Happy Hearts worked diligently to help him adjust to these changes. Toilet training had also been a challenge and within a very short time, he was completely potty trained! Working at the Institute, I get to see Ian often -- and he is always engaged in a positive activity. I can't thank Happy Hearts staff enough for the care and support they have been to Ian."

Grandmother of current Happy Hearts preschooler
"My Casey Marie LOVED Happy Hearts. The staff in Happy Hearts were wonderful and caring. They seemed to make each child feel #1. That is how Casey felt each day. She took pride in singing the songs they had learned and showing me all the wonderful art activities they did. She also loved the great playground and pool. Happy Hearts was the right choice for us with it being on-site for my work as well as locality on days when I traveled away from the Institute. Kudos to Happy Hearts. Thank you for giving Casey the foundation for starting school, both socially and educationally."
