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.

Happy Faces has consistently integrated with local schools, aiding in the smooth transition of children into the formal education system. 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.
