Our Environment
Happy Yogis Nursery School is a play-based, yoga-inspired in-home childcare program where little ones grow through movement, creativity, and connection. Located in San Mateo and licensed by the California Department of Social Services, our family daycare offers a safe, loving, and enriching environment designed to nurture the whole child. Our team is fully vaccinated and trained in CPR, First Aid, AED, and Mandated Reporter procedures, so families can feel confident and at ease. Children are immersed daily in Portuguese, English, and Spanish—unlocking their full potential through language and cultural learning. We serve nutritious meals, support social-emotional growth, and provide a peaceful rhythm from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. At Happy Yogis, children are free to explore, express, and truly shine.
Everybody Loves Activities
Our Story
At Happy Yogis Nursery School, we cherish early childhood as a time of curiosity, creativity, and connection. Our in-home daycare and preschool in San Mateo embraces play-based learning inspired by yoga and mindful care. Children explore, imagine, and grow through songs, stories, and gentle movement.
Eleandra Souza —lovingly known as Ellie— is the heart of our program. With 25+ years of experience, she is a certified children’s yoga instructor for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Ellie has earned over 50 child-development certifications and continuously updates her skills. Her training meets California Teacher License standards, underscoring her commitment to excellence.
Ellie’s background in the Lifeways North America approach—a holistic, relationship-centered philosophy—guides our daily rhythm. She nurtures each child’s mind, body, and heart in every activity.
At Happy Yogis, children are immersed in a rich trilingual environment—Portuguese, English, and Spanish—and supported in all areas of development: social, emotional, physical, and cognitive. Our licensed program provides a safe, loving space where children feel seen, respected, and free to grow.
Happy Yogis is more than a daycare—it’s a home where little ones are encouraged to explore, imagine, and thrive.
