Our Story
Happy Nook began with a simple intention: I wanted to create the kind of early childhood environment I wished existed when I was searching for care for my first child. As a mother of two now, I understand how important it is to find a place you can truly trust—somewhere safe, nurturing, and dependable, where children are supported as they grow.
After years working in fast-paced corporate environments, I saw how difficult it was for families to find care that felt both personal and thoughtfully designed. I wanted to build a place that offered the warmth of home with the intention and quality young children deserve.
​
I started small—an in-home program built around meaningful relationships, small groups, and spaces that felt calm, natural, and intentional. Over time, as I refined the program and connected with more families, I saw how powerful this approach was. Children thrived when they felt known; families felt supported when communication was strong; and a home-like setting created a sense of comfort that is often missing in early education.
​
Those early years shaped everything: what I value, how I teach, and what I believe children deserve. And as the program grew, so did the vision for what Happy Nook could become.

Our Next Chapter
Today, Happy Nook is expanding into a purpose-built early education center designed for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
​
The new center preserves everything that has defined Happy Nook from the beginning—warm relationships, intentional environments, and a commitment to treating every child as an individual—while adding the space, resources, and structure to serve more families in the community.
​
With dedicated classrooms, natural play spaces, and an environment created specifically for young children, the center represents the next step in bringing the Happy Nook philosophy to life on a larger scale.
Happy Nook is growing, but its heart remains the same.
​
The values that shaped the very first program continue to guide the center as it moves into this new, thoughtfully designed chapter.
