What is Happy Faces Early Learning Academy?
Founded in 1987 by Linda Bean, Happy Faces Early Learning Academy began as a Family Day Care Home Provider in Washington D.C.'s Ward 5. Driven by a passion for children and the need for a secure, nurturing learning environment, the academy quickly became a cornerstone of the community.

The academy expanded significantly in 2000, opening a new facility, and continued to grow with additional units acquired in 2005, 2008, and 2011 to meet escalating demand for high-quality childcare. Ms. Bean's enduring legacy is one of providing superior care and educational programs, with the academy continuing to innovate in early childhood education best practices.
