Happy Valley has been an absolute blessing in our lives. My little girl loves it there, to the point where on the way home in the afternoons she asks to go back! Sometimes at bedtime or even in the night if she's upset she will cry for her teachers... how immensely reassuring to know that they inspire such security and love in her. ❤️ She is also learning so much every day, all through play and fun. The details, preparation and patience that go into the daily activities is amazing. We get numerous photos and video clips each day of every individual child in her class; you can see the teachers sit patiently with each child at a turn to help and teach them and make sure they understand. ❤️ The teachers are also always available to give you an update on the day, listen to any concerns (or just stories) and give advice; I've never once felt like something is brushed off as insignificant or that I'm overreacting. They empower the kids and parents! ❤️ We appreciate Happy Valley and the dedicated, capable and loving staff immensely.

We changed schools earlier this year to Happy Valley Educentre and was of course nervouse having our then 13 month old baby move. But man am I happy we did. Not only is Callum stimulated mentally daily and brings home the cutest art weekly, these wonderful teachers got our baby boy standing on his own and taking his first steps! They are AMAZING and when callum isnt at school you can see he misses them terribly. If he is off sick the teachers personally WhatsApp to find out how he is. We get daily photos of our angel and not once does he look sad or unhappy! There is no second guessing Happy Valley is the school to choose!

Happy Valley - is and was my kids happy place!!! Thank you for the peace of mind I have every morning when entrusting my most precious possessions to your care. The ones that have been to your school have only fond memories and were more than ready for “big” school when the time came. Lexi loves comming to school every morning and always come home happy and stimulated.

Thank you Happy Valley.

Happy Valley is an incredible place, my little ones felt right at home from day one and come home every day with stories to tell and smiles on their faces.

The teachers know their children so well and are so interested in every milestone big or small.

I can honestly say my mind is at rest knowing they are loved and well taken care of every school day.

To the Happy Valley Team

My little one started her first day at school at age of 1 years old. I had visited a few schools before you, but clearly remember the day I came to check out your school. I nearly cried before I left with happy tears, knowing full heartedly this was the school for my little one. The difference for me was you were not just looking after my child while I was at work, I could see how invested you were in each child. With endless activities to help them grow and experience the world around them in such fun ways. And the love and care supporting each one's emotional needs. My little one is now 4 and she is quite a character. I want to thank you for supporting her individualism. She has been so happy developing loving relationships with her teachers and class mates. I put full trust into all her teachers and I have not been let down. When we head to big school? I know Maiya will always tell me about her Happy Vally teachers and how much she misses them.
Happy Valley has been my daughtrs second home from the age of 3 months until she moved to Grade R and big school. My daughter is confident, happy and a bright little lady due to the teachers at Happy Valley. They have loved her like their own.

Without a doubt the best people to look after your child.
