  About Happy Stars Child Care

 Who Is Mana?

Meet Mana, the founder and primary caregiver at Happy Stars Child Care, a licensed family home daycare in Irvine, California.

Mana created Happy Stars Child Care to provide families with a warm, nurturing, and personalized alternative to larger child care centers. She believes children learn and grow best when they feel safe, understood, valued, and genuinely cared for.

 Why Did Mana Create Happy Stars Child Care?

Mana wanted to create a comfortable home environment where toddlers and preschoolers could receive personal attention while learning through play, creativity, movement, music, stories, and positive social interaction.

Her goal is to help every child build confidence, independence, communication skills, curiosity, and a lasting love of learning.

 What Makes Our Small-Group Care Different?

Our small-group setting allows Mana to understand each child’s personality, interests, routines, and individual needs.

Children receive personalized attention and encouragement while learning how to communicate, cooperate, share, solve problems, and build positive relationships with others.

Mana believes young children learn naturally through play, exploration, repetition, and meaningful interaction.

Daily experiences may include:

• Music and movement
• Storytelling and early literacy
• Arts and crafts
• Sensory activities
• Educational games
• Fine and gross motor activities
• Supervised indoor and outdoor play

Activities are selected according to the children’s ages, abilities, interests, and developmental needs.

Mana also supports healthy habits by providing mostly organic, homemade meals, nutritious snacks, and fresh fruit. Parents are encouraged to discuss any allergies, dietary restrictions, or special nutritional needs before enrollment.

 How Does Mana Communicate With Parents?

Mana believes open and friendly communication with parents is an essential part of quality child care.

Families receive regular updates about their child’s activities, daily experiences, development, and individual needs. Parents are always welcome to ask questions or share information that can help Mana provide the best possible care for their child.
