Happy Hearts Learning Center at 3152 Lighthouse Center Suite D in Fairfield, OH serves school-age children with before and after school care, engaging summer programs, and a commitment to balancing mind and heart development. As a SUTQ Bronze-rated provider with extended hours (6:30 AM–6:00 PM weekdays), it appeals to working families, and parents consistently praise its talented teachers and creative music and arts programming. Staff are noted as careful and accommodating with severe allergies, adding a meaningful layer of safety support.
