As working parents Happy Trails School has become more than a daycare but a home away from home for our children. We couldn’t put our trust in just anyone to watch our children. Happy Trails is so much more than a daycare with loving teachers who reinforce our christian values and teachings. It is a wonderful preschool that has helped us prepare our children with the skills they need to excel in private school. We will miss you when our little one moves on but can’t wait to see you all in the summer for the school age program!

I enrolled my son after waiting 3 months on their waiting list. This school came highly recommended to me by a few fellow parents. I was very particular and involved when choosing child care for my son. (We’d previously been to 4 other child care providers and had some not so great experiences including the YMCA, which was the worst experience!). This place has by far surpassed every other school. I cannot express how impressed I am with Terri and her school. Every staff I’ve met has been pleasant, courteous and competent. It’s a huge relief and peace of mind to have confidence in the care my son is receiving while we’re away at work. Not to mention, they’re one of the most affordable care centers in town. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait and I couldn’t be more honored to have our son attending Happy Trails.

After going from daycare to daycare in Tucson not finding anything in my opinion worth while, we were blessed to find Happy Trails Preschool. My son and daughter have been attending Happy Trails for almost a year, and the growth and learning development has been remarkable. As a single father I have struggled with finding the right care for my children, and fortunately for me I have found Happy Trails School. My kids love the teachers and thrive in the different environments provided daily and year round. They absolutely love the Summer program and the different programs and carnivals throughout the year.
