Happy Home Learning Center began in 1994 in Alexandria, VA with a staff of six serving 45 children. It soon had a six month waiting list. In 1998, Founder, Mrs. Tillman, opened a second site, also in Alexandria, VA. Boasting 102 students and 16 full-time staff, the Alexandria centers were nominated Small Business of the Year and was nationally accredited in 1996 by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The third center opened in September 2009 in Woodbridge, VA. Happy Home Child Learning Center takes pride in requiring highly trained staff, teachers and teacher assistants. The centers fill quickly and do carry a waiting list. Ages of childcare are from 3 months through 5 years old, depending on the center.
