We had the good fortune of connecting with Maha Esshaki and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maha, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
At Happy Days Home Daycare, every time a child learns something new or shares a skill with their parent’s, it adds value to their experience. These moments make each day a bit brighter! Confidence grows through each new craft, outdoor activity, and problem-solving task.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a married mother with two kids. I have been a daycare provider since 1989 and I started my own home daycare in 2002. That’s 21+ years of experience with children, not including my own kids! It is my goal to offer your family the quality childcare experience you deserve. I will do my best to provide your children with a nurturing environment to help them develop socially and mentally.

I am a licensed home daycare provider in the state of California. I am also fingerprinted and background checked and CPR/First Aid/Safety Certified. I care for children ranging from infants (2 months) to 5 years old. For those who need it, I also speak fluent Arabic. YMCA and PCG programs are accepted here.

Thank you for considering Happy Days Home Daycare. I look forward to providing your child with the best possible care.

Located In El Cajon, the Daycare has a private entrance and is available for tours!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
San Diego has a ton of great spots for families to explore. With summer movie nights at the park, the beautiful beaches, and the Children’s Museum being go to activities.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My sister is a huge help each day. From cooking meals to working along side me monitoring activities. Having her here daily, makes watching the kids every task easier.

Tootris and Kids Care Finder have been major additions to the daycare that have brought in multiple new families now. As a private home daycare connecting with parents in our area has been difficult in the past. Now they have brought us in contact with people who value our business.
