    My wife and I embarked on the daunting task of finding a daycare for our twins a year into the pandemic (mid-2021). After visiting several around the SFV, we were fortunate enough to find Angela and all the amazing people at Happy Tots! Angela really understands the importance of safe, clean and nurturing child care for working families and it shows. Outside, Happy Tots' property is sprawling - A gated front entry ensures safety for the little ones and a park-like back yard - A trike biking path, fruit trees and mud kitchen make outdoor time so much fun. Inside is as clean as your house during the holidays, just before family and guests arrive (read: so, so clean you could eat off the floors). All the walls are colorfully decorated with the kids artwork and It just makes you smile every time you walk in. But the best part about Happy Tots is the amazing staff - They are the kindest, most nurturing folks you will ever meet. They truly have a love for their kids and treat them all like their own. They help them to learn, grow and develop in their own ways, in an environment that promotes self-confidence. If you're in need of a daycare for your littles, reach out to Angela at Happy Tots and be prepared to watch your kids flourish.

    I must admit that at first we were hesitant to drive 30mins to take our daughter to school full time but it has proven to be the best decision we've made for our daughter's care and development. As a first time mom, I can have a overwhelming sense of worry and Happy Tots calm all my worries. When searching for a daycare, we found that a lot of daycare's didn't have a curriculum and felt more like "babysitting". Happy Tots is more than this, it's a early childhood school. My daughter has been going since she was about one year old and she has tremendously benefitted from the care and teachings. She knows Spanish better than my husband and I combined! Besides the learning, happy Tots has exquisite care for the kids. They will have events for holidays, birthdays etc. For Mothers Day, they invited all moms to a beautiful brunch st the daycare facility and I witnessed the care and knowledge they gave for each child. They handle and care for them like their own. I have been nothing short of impressed with this daycare and can't say enough great things. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DAYCARE!

    I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

I reached out to Michelle when I desperately needed a nanny when my career took off after giving birth. Michelle listened to my needs, gave me solid advice, never gave me a hard sell, and ultimately I got an amazing nanny who lasted many years with my family!!! She is truly interested in building life-long relationships for her clients. I also have to mention how much I appreciate her responsiveness. Her follow up is lightning fast! I am so grateful to The Perfect Placement for making my life manageable with truly exceptional in home childcare.

    I just moved to NYC, and I'd say the single largest heartbreak about leaving Los Angeles, my home…read morefor almost a decade wasn't leaving behind my home, my work, or anything like that. It was taking my kid away from the best daycare in the entire Los Angeles area, Happyland daycare. I'd argue to say it's the best daycare in America, but I don't want to be seen as "over the top". (that's just my personality lol.) Anyhow, all jokes aside, as a first time mother with no family on my or my husband's side in the US at all, they were my village. Not only are they extremely fairly priced, but they took the best care of my baby. She was so happy to go to daycare every single day she always giggled and clapped her hands as we pulled up to Monika's door. The second that door opens, my daughter leaps into her or Olga's arms. You can't buy this feeling of safety and security. I know this and I didn't even have such high expectations going in. I was just a tired mom, desperate for help and a spare pair of hands to help me so I could get my life back. But Monika and Olga exceeded my expectations. I had no idea that they'd make this heavy of a mark in my heart because no nanny, daycare center or service I've had since has come close to their level of care. Their amazing meals (literally the best most organic foods available in the market), the art projects they did, the friends she made, it was so smooth and low drama and honestly not replaceable at all. Nothing comes close to Happyland. I wish I could move back to LA just to be near them, but alas I understand that isn't possible because of my husband's work. So I'll just have to leave this note, as a testament from one mother, to another; if you're reading this, your baby is safe and loved with them. Please consider Happyland over anywhere else, as I know what it's like to need this peace of mind. If you're reading this Monika/olga, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We finally moved and settled in so I finally had the chance to write this, better late than never. Sending all my love, we miss you everyday and Lali still knows your names and asks about you ladies. The scrap book of her photos you made her makes us all smile and cry every single time. Best Bianca

    Cannot recommend enough. We started our child here at 12 months old and wish we had started sooner…read more Monika and her whole team couldn't have taken better care of him - from food to play and activities, daily videos and pictures. They are so so professional and attentive to every bit of your child's development, and so welcoming. Such a joy to drop him off and pick him up everyday

    Before my kid started TK at LAUSD I enrolled him here during the summer. This was the place that…read moregot him to love arts & crafts. Got him interested to use scissors (found out he's a lefty here and provided him lefty scissors) and through his art class made some classy stuff. Pieces that are still on the walls of our house. Stuff he made for Father's Day that is still sentimental to the hubby. They go on monthly field trips (like Kidspace) but what's cool is that they utilize Metro or Dash to the city library for magic shows, story time, puppet shows, or to parks like Grand Park (splashing around). It is affiliated with a Japanese Buddhist church so they do go to the Hondo for some gassho and singing with the minister in the morning (15 mins). From observation the families that utilize this resource are very diverse--I would even say that Japanese families are in the minority here. I am of the group that chose this place due to its proximity to my workplace, and I think others have too. Ms. Susan has been director for quite some time and I've personally seen old students now adults say hi to her at Nishi obon. Staff are very kind and nurturing. The daycare is nicely situated in a space that is shaded so they aren't going to roast when playing outside. Even now as my kid is enrolled at public school TK I still take him here during LAUSD winter breaks, or the myriad of "no instruction days" on their calendar. They take kids up to age 6 so this has been a godsend to me. Kids as young as 2 must come potty trained. Currently monthly tuition is $1170 might be $50 lower per month if you pay to become a temple member.

    Two years ago, when my older child started at Nishi, I was nervous, since he was a covid baby who…read morehadn't attended any outside daycare or childcare previously. But Ms. Susan, Ms. Maria, Ms. Gaby, and the whole team are so loving, that my fears melted away immediately. They made my son know that he belonged, and that they looked forward to seeing him every day. The teachers really get to know the kids, their strengths and needs, and develop an individual plan for each one to help them grow intellectually and personally. Each year, they complete an academic and social-emotional evaluation for each child, and it's amazing to see how much personal detail goes into the daily activities. The Nishi Center isn't just a school, it's a real community, both for the kids and the parents. Some of my son's classmates have parents who went to Nishi when they were kids thirty years ago, and they drive across town to give their kids the same great experience. My younger child just started at Nishi, and I'm so glad that we get to continue our relationship with this beautiful group of people in this very special community.
