We are so grateful for amazing families who take the time to share their experiences! ❤️

“We had Angela for both my son and daughter (10 months apart) and they had such a good relationship that they are always so excited to see her on their day of the week. Learning speech tactics and applying them to everyday experiences really helped them advance, especially since they are both very independent. Overall, she is such a nice, friendly face to have and will always recommend her. Super professional and good at what she does! It’s unfortunate to not be able to see her anymore, but I know she is helping many other kids advance like she did with mine. Angela truly is one of a kind!”

We couldn’t agree more! Angela brings patience, professionalism, and heart to every session — making learning fun and meaningful for every child she works with. 💕

💔 We’re Still Serving — But We Need Your Voice 💔

For over 15 years, Happy Hearts LLC has proudly supported infants and toddlers — serving the birth to 3 population through early intervention and family-centered care.

Even now, during the ongoing Pennsylvania state budget shutdown, which has been going on for over 100 days (since July 1st), our team continues to show up every day for the children and families who depend on us most. ❤️

But without state funding, programs like ours are under serious strain. We’re doing everything we can to keep services going — because these little ones can’t wait.

Now we need your help.
📞 Please contact your Pennsylvania state senators and representatives and urge them to pass the budget. Every day of delay impacts real children, real families, and dedicated providers across our state.

Together, we can keep Pennsylvania’s youngest hearts growing strong. 💕

🌟 We Love Hearing From Our Families! 🌟

There’s nothing better than knowing we’re making a positive difference in a child’s life 💛. One of our Happy Hearts families recently shared this wonderful feedback:

Our experience with Happy Hearts and Angela has been so positive! The services were very easy to start, and communication back and forth was a breeze. Angela is approachable, flexible, helpful, and knowledgeable! She helped us navigate our concerns with our son’s speech development, and I never felt judged or like my points were disregarded. She had thoughtful ideas and worked very hard to form a bond with our son. He came out of his shell and loved when she would come for sessions. It took time for him to start making progress, but Angela always tried to work with him where he was at and that went a long way. Once he started making progress he gained so much! We are proud and surprised that he graduated services so quickly, but I also think that that is a testament to all the work Angela has done with him and the take-home points she left with us to work with him on between sessions. We always felt that we had things to work with him on and watch him make progress with. The services being community based is wonderful, and I think it took any anxiety of going to a new place or to an office appointment away. Thank you so much for all that you do!

We’re honored to be part of each child’s journey and grateful for the trust families place in us. Thank you for letting us do what we love every day! 🫶
