“Our family couldn’t be happier with the experiences we’ve had at Happy Explorers Learning Academy! Within a few months of our son starting daycare, we noticed him make big leaps in his development and learning. He picked up several new words, made new discoveries each day through an abundance of activities and developed meaningful relationships with both the staff and other children. When we talk about daycare with him, he lights up. Every single staff member we’ve met at Happy Explorers is wonderful. They are caring and kind. I feel confident leaving my son in their care knowing that he feels safe and comfortable.”

“We love Happy Explorers! I was so hesitant to go back to work after my mat leave ended until we found Happy Explorers. We felt so welcome by Ashley and Erika! The daycare feels like home. The educators care for my daughter like she's one of their own. It's hard to get her to come leave when I pick her up at the end of the day because she has so much fun! I get regular updates on what she ate, diaper changes, sleep and even photos. I would recommend to anyone looking for a daycare centre with a family vibe!”

“I honestly can’t recommend Happy Explorers enough. When our plans changed and I decided last minute to go back to work part time, finding a daycare felt like the most daunting and overwhelming task. The second I sent an email to Happy Explorers they responded back and my comfort with them began. From the very first meeting with the owners, Erika and Ashley, to meeting the educators, right down to every single day I drop my son off, I always feel comfortable and confident in our choice. Our son has a heart condition which made giving someone else the responsibility of his care even more stressful but the owners made sure to ensure that everyone in the building knows how to care for him in a crisis. Whether it be the personal attention given to my son and his needs or the outgoing friendly attitudes of the educators, my husband and I sincerely couldn’t be happier with Happy Explorers Learning Academy.”

“Our daughter was enrolled in the Adventurers program from the very first day that Happy Explorers was open and her care was so exemplary that we enrolled our son in the Discoverers program. The educators are diligent in offering a warm, inclusive, and fun-loving space. They are supportive and resourceful throughout growth and development such as helping potty train my daughter and working with us to transition my son’s naps. My kids appreciate being able to engage in activities they love instead of having to conform to a stringent curriculum. Every day is filled with choose your own adventures such as painting, baking, or science experiments. They also love the wide variety of nutritious meals offered that give them the opportunity to try new things and enjoy old favourites. The communication with the team is outstanding. The educators and owners make themselves easily accessible and eagerly welcome any questions or feedback. I love being able to have a snapshot of their day via the portal and see pictures of them, what they’ve had for lunch, or if they’ve had a nap etc. I have recommended Happy Explorers to a number of my friends and encourage any parent looking for nurturing care and a well-rounded education to enthusiastically contact them.”

“Ashley and the fantastic team have provided outstanding care for my son over the past 2 and half year. I love the fact that you feel part of a big family from the very beginning and the level of care provided certainly went above and beyond my expectation and for that I am so grateful. I also appreciated the open communication I received at all times from the all the staff. I am so fortunate that Happy Explorers was a part of my son's life as he has made some great memories during his time there!”

“I want to thank you for my son’s time at Happy Explorers, you have a wonderful facility filled with fantastic, diligent staff. I know he felt right at home at daycare everyday so it is extremely unfortunate that we are moving away from New Hamburg. My experience with your business has been wonderful and any child is lucky to get to come to such a warm and fun environment everyday. Nothing made me happier than using your app to get photos of him enjoying himself and updates that include things such as meals, naps, etc. The meal plans are phenomenal and I loved knowing that he was being fed nutritious food that he actually enjoyed (which can be tricky with little ones)! ”
