Happy Tree Child Development Center

Day Care

The story of The Happy Tree Child Development Center started in October of 1989. The center was started by a young woman from Brooklyn, New York, who had just completed college at South Carolina State University in Early Child Development Education. Frances Bennett, the only one of 19 children to complete her education, had an interest in the lives of young children so much so that she was led to open a high quality child development center.

The moment you walk through the doors you can sense that you are in a place of caring, loving, respectful and patient individuals. Here at the center, we take pride in providing children and families with the highest level of care and developmentally appropriate practice. Simply put, The Happy Tree is a home away from home. Our teachers are well equipped to take care of your children because of their full knowledge in Early Childhood Education. We are devoted to raising healthy, happy, and intelligent children because we put our heart and soul into it. Read more

    My daughter has been enrolled in Happy Tree since she was 8 weeks old (Sep. 2015) and I love seriously EVERYTHING about this center. My daughter absolutely loves "school". Mrs.Danielle is an angel & Ms. Marisol &Ms. Maria are seriously gifted. You see how much they love each and every child in their care. My daughter is fluent in english & spanish as well as very advanced in learning and I give all the credit to those 3 ladies.The center is always VERY clean. The teachers are all VERY nice. I also love that they have an online portal setup, so you can see what your child is doing in real time & talk back and forth to the teachers if need be. I have never had 1 single problem with Happy Tree. My daughter will continue to grow and learn at this center until she enters grade school.

    The director and staff here are incredible. They have truly made daycare for our almost 2 year old an amazing experience. My son has always LOVED being dropped off at school. This school is truly like a family and they have treated my baby as such since day 1. My son has learned and benefited so much from the programs in place here. I count have picked a better place as a first time momma for my baby to grow!

    This place really is Happy. We moved to Ft Worth, so we no longer go here, but we really enjoyed it while we lived in Carrollton. My older son (3 years old at the time) was rather difficult. Ms. Danielle treated him kindly and sternly. He started to play better with the other kids and enjoyed going to Happy Tree. Mrs. Goff takes pride in teaching the kiddos and they did learn a lot. One afternoon I heard him randomly counting to 10 in spanish!
    I highly recommend this daycare. They truly care :)
