Meet Our Founder

Hello! My name is Rocio Morales, founder of Happy Kidz Daycare Center. I launched Happy Kidz in 2018 after more than a decade of experience providing in-home childcare and working in multiple daycare settings throughout the community.

 

With a deep passion for nurturing children and a long-held dream of opening my own center, me and my husband established Happy Kidz in a small commercial space, initially caring for just a few children.

 

Thanks to those early years and connection with the Jackson Hole community, the program quickly grew and developed a waiting list. After a couple of relocations, Happy Kidz found its current home on Mercill Avenue—a cozy, welcoming space in downtown—where it continues to serve families today.

 

The name “Happy Kidz” reflects my initial goal -- a place where children are cared for, loved, and encouraged to thrive, leaving each day with smiles on their faces. Whether you're a long-time Jackson resident or new to our community, I look forward to meeting you and your little one!
