Our Story
Quality childcare is so difficult to find.
At least that is what I believed over three decades ago. Going through seven childcare providers in three months left me vulnerable, anxious and in despair. Until I walked into a back room of a school where my son was in a basinet. The ledge of the wall was propping up the bottle and he was sucking air. I literally lost it for a moment, grabbed my son and heading out the door. I got home and fell to my knees asking God “what do you want me to do” and hearing in that very moment “I WANT YOU TO DO IT BETTER”.
I quit my job the next day and have been on a mission to make sure that Happy Home is a place where Children learn to love God, learn to practice the 9 fruits of the Spirit which are
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, gentleness and self -control.
Our purposeful activities create an environment where children learn to regulate their emotions, work together in unity, create a mindset of abundance, speak with confidence and conviction and learn to be self – reliant.

What We Believe
"There are seeds of greatness in every child. We must plant the knowledge, water the creativity, model love, and will help them reap a Destiny that can Change the World"
Dr. Deborah L. Tillman
We also believe that parents are the first teachers and we are committed to partnering with parents to raise enthusiastic, compassionate and capable children!
Our Montessori Curriculum and Guiding Light Principles focuses on empathy, kindness, and respect for others and the environment.
Through interactions with other children and educational materials, your child will learn about the world while forming friendships that could last a lifetime.
At Happy Home, we believe that:
We are equipped and empowered to teach children how to love themselves so that they are confident in making their own choices even at a young age
We believe that teaching the scriptures to the children will provide them with a solid foundation for future growth and development
We believe that children learn by first getting knowledge, understanding or comprehending that knowledge and then applying it to all areas of their lives
We empower children to work together to solve problems in the classroom
We believe that all children are created in the image of God and therefore need to respect each other’s differences
We believe that we are the only early childhood development center that is purposeful in not only adding value to children but also equipping parents to become less worried about ABC’S AND I,2 3’s and more concerned about making sure that their child is in an environment that emphasizes honesty, integrity, character, discipline and consistency
You don’t have to birth a child in order to love a child.
Here at Happy Home, we do just that.

4-5 Star RATING
Featured in Essence, Ebony, Northern Virginia Magazines and the Owner is Lifetime Television Star America’s Supernanny. Our qualified team is here to help your child develop the necessary life and leadership skills that will help them develop through the pre-school years and beyond.
Some of the aspects that make our facility unique include
Meditation that regulates emotions and teaching children to focus on all the things they are grateful for as well as those things that they would like to improve
We have a Parent Advisory Board who helps us with community events such as feeding the homeless, visiting nursing homes, Poetry Night where children recite poems from Great American Authors.
Since Happy Home is so diverse, Multicultural Night is a time where families have the opportunity to talk about where they are from and the wonderful foods, culture and history that go into their identity.
Daily Affirmations are recited to remind the children that they can be all that God has created them to be.
Mentoring – Children four and five years old read books, help out, and play with children 1-3 years old on a daily basis which fosters leadership skills.
Our Montessori curriculum is combined with Guiding Light Principles, educating children on the importance being a “good neighbor” and self – reliance skills. That is important because self-confidence is closely tied to a child believing that they can do things for themselves.
