Prototype preview: tour booking, enrollment, billing, and the parent portal are mockups. They will be powered by Playground once the daycare signs up.

What's included

One rate covers the whole day

No nickel-and-diming, no surprise add-ons. If your child needs it during the day, tuition covers it.

Meals & snacks

Breakfast for early birds, a hot family-style lunch, and an afternoon snack, all prepared fresh daily.

All supplies

Art materials, learning tools, sunscreen, and classroom gear. You bring the kid, we bring the glitter.

Daily photo updates

Naps, meals, milestones, and messy masterpieces land on your phone throughout the day.

No extra activity fees

Music, movement, garden days, and special visitors are part of the program, never a separate bill.

Getting started

How enrollment works

Four steps from "just looking" to first-day hugs. Most families go from tour to enrolled in about a week.

  1. Book a tour

    Pick a weekday morning that works for you, bring your little one, and see the rooms in action. Tours take about 30 minutes and there's zero pressure.

  2. Apply online

    Fill out a short application from your phone or laptop. We'll confirm availability in your child's age group, or add you to the waitlist with a clear picture of timing.

  3. Secure your spot

    Pay the $100 registration fee plus a one-week tuition deposit and the spot is yours. The deposit applies to your child's first week of care.

  4. First day

    We finish the paperwork together, set up autopay in the parent app, and follow a gentle transition schedule with shorter days at the start if your child needs them.

Ready when you are

Tell us you're interested

Share a few details and we'll reach out with current availability for your child's age group.

Playground placeholder

Prototype form: nothing is sent anywhere.

On the live site, this is replaced by the embedded Playground enrollment form. Submissions land directly in the daycare's enrollment dashboard, no email inbox shuffling required.

Good to know

Admissions questions, answered

How does the waitlist work?

When a room is full, we add your family to the waitlist in the order applications arrive. There's no fee to join, and siblings of currently enrolled children get first call when a spot opens. We'll give you an honest read on timing up front, and check in whenever your position changes.

Do you offer part-time schedules?

Not in this prototype. Happy Hearts DayCare is full-time only, Monday to Friday, 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM. One consistent schedule keeps ratios steady and helps children settle into a predictable rhythm.

What should we bring on day one?

A change of clothes (labeled), a comfort item if your child has one, and for our littlest Infant Care, diapers, wipes, and prepared bottles. We handle meals, snacks, sunscreen, and all classroom supplies. We'll send a short, age-specific checklist before your start date so nothing is a guess.

How does billing work?

Tuition runs on weekly autopay through the parent app. Set it up once on your first day and you're done: text and email reminders arrive before each charge, and receipts live in the app whenever you need them for taxes or an FSA.

Start with a visit

The best way to know if we're the right fit is to come see a morning in motion. Tours run most weekdays and take about 30 minutes.
