About Me
Welcome to Happy Times Child Development Center. My name is Maria Sauceda and I am the proud founder of the Happy Times Development Programs. I started this program in 2008 in order to provide good quality and reliable care for my own children. It was my ambition for my children to grow in a warm, secure, nurturing, fun, and clean environment. Thank you for considering Happy Times Child Development Center for your family. We truly hope your childcare experience will be a positive one. With that in mind, we make it our goal to provide your child with the best care possible.

Hi, my name is Belen Esteban. I am the Site Director here at Happy Times Child Development Center. I have worked in the child development field for over 25 years. I started my career as a teacher. I then moved up to master teacher for an infant toddler program and have now been a site director for the past 8 years. I have been with Happy Times for the last 4 of those years. I have enjoyed my child development career and have worked in both state funded as well as private programs. I am married and have 3 boys, one in high school and 2 in middle school. I am looking forward to working with you and your child here at Happy Times.

About Me
About Me
I have always been interested in working with children especially Preschoolers and becoming a teacher. When I was in high school, I enrolled in the Early Childhood ROP program, and I have been in the same field since. I continued on to college to pursue a teaching career, and I have been a teacher for 25 years now. Four years ago I became a director and I enjoy serving the children and families in our community very much.
