Meet the staff
Happy Time Day Care Center was founded by Delores Anderson in 1969. Her passion in life had always been teaching. Her journey in life led her down many paths. During the late 1960’s, women began to enter the workforce. Delores had the vision of providing a quality child care center that focused on learning and safety. She worked endlessly in quest for knowledge and understanding about group care for young children and families. She was a true pioneer in this industry. With a $4000 loan and a grant from the Ordean Foundation, Happy Time opened its’ doors. Click here for more.
     

We chose Happy Time carefully.  I read, called, observed and interviewed many preschools.  Happy Time was my first choice.  Even when we moved, making Happy Time the farthest away preschool, our choice remained firm- LaTina Else, Ph.D. LIcensed Psychologist
