Everything families need, in one place
Tools we use at Happy Days, what’s happening at our centers, help paying for child care, and trusted resources to support your family beyond our classrooms.
Stay connected to your child’s day
Every Happy Days family gets the same tools to see, share, and stay in the loop.

Bussing from the schools we partner with
At participating centers, our before and after care programs include transportation to and from local partner schools. District bussing is not available at Edison or Old Bridge. Your child is dropped off at school in the morning and picked up in the afternoon, then spends the rest of the day with us doing homework, playing, and unwinding until you arrive.
Something to look forward to all year
Each center plans its own calendar. Dates, newsletters, and menus are shared in the Procare app and on our social pages.
Field trips
Summer campers head out on age-appropriate field trips. Field trips have an age requirement, and campers must be potty-trained.
In-house shows
Magic shows, bubble shows, petting zoos, ice cream trucks, and special visitors come right to our centers.
Holiday & seasonal fun
Costume days, fall festivities, winter celebrations, and themed weeks throughout the year.
Pre-K graduation
Caps, gowns, and proud families as our oldest friends head off to kindergarten.
Open houses
Come meet the teachers, tour the classrooms, and ask every question you have.
Pizza Fridays
A weekly favorite at our centers, alongside morning and afternoon snacks every day.
