Daycare & Childcare Centre in Dhaka
Finding a daycare in Dhaka you can actually trust — somewhere your child is safe, genuinely cared for, and growing while you work — is one of the hardest decisions a parent makes. Happy's Baby Daycare has been that place for Dhaka families since 2017, with two campuses in Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur and a reputation built on care, not just supervision.
A daycare in Dhaka built around your child, not the clock
Plenty of childcare in Dhaka is just minding — keeping children occupied until pickup. We do the opposite. Every day at Happy's blends warm, attentive care with structured, play-based learning, so your child comes home having grown, not just waited. Over almost a decade we've cared for 500+ children and earned the trust of 1000+ parents across Dhaka.
Our programmes
Our Dhaka daycare centre offers flexible full-day and half-day care across four programmes, so families can build the schedule that fits their life:
- Daycare — warm, structured care for infants through school age, with play-based learning woven through the day.
- Preschool — a proper early-learning programme that builds real school readiness.
- Speech Delay Care — specialist communication support integrated into the daycare day (more on this below).
- Art & after-school classes — creative and enrichment sessions for older children.
Age groups, from six months to five years
Within our daycare programme, children move through five age-based groups, each with its own room, routine, and pace — so care always matches where your child actually is developmentally, not just their age on paper:
- Infant care (6–18 months) — feeding and sleep routines built around your baby's own schedule, gentle sensory play, and lots of one-to-one holding and talking.
- Toddler care (18 months–3 years) — walking, talking, and independence explode at this age; we support it with supervised free play, simple choices, and the start of group routines like shared snack time.
- Nursery (3–4 years) — structured play-based activities, early letters and numbers through games, and the first real practice at group listening and turn-taking.
- Playgroup (3–4 years) — a slightly more social, activity-led version of nursery for children who are ready for more group structure.
- Kindergarten preparation (4–5 years) — building the independence, focus, and pre-academic skills that make the jump into formal school feel like a small step rather than a leap.
A typical day at our Dhaka daycare
Parents often ask what actually fills the hours between drop-off and pickup. Here's roughly how a full day runs, adjusted by age group — younger babies follow their own feeding and sleep rhythm rather than the group schedule:
- 8:00–9:00am — Arrival, hand-washing, and free play as children settle in.
- 9:00–9:30am — Breakfast or morning snack.
- 9:30–11:00am — Structured, play-based learning: circle time, stories, letters and numbers through games, art and craft.
- 11:00–12:00pm — Active or outdoor play for gross motor development.
- 12:00–1:00pm — Lunch and hygiene routine (hand-washing, toileting, clean-up).
- 1:00–3:00pm — Nap and quiet rest time for younger children; calm activities like puzzles or books for older ones who no longer nap.
- 3:00–3:30pm — Afternoon snack.
- 3:30–5:00pm — Enrichment: art, music, speech-delay sessions for children enrolled in that support, or after-school classes for older children.
- 5:00–6:00pm — Free play and wind-down as parents begin pickup.
Meals and snacks are nutritious and included through the day, and every transition — meals, naps, hygiene — is a chance for caregivers to build the small, consistent routines that help young children feel secure.
Why parents choose Happy's over other daycares in Dhaka
- Established since 2017 — one of the most experienced daycare and childcare centres in Dhaka. Experience you can't fake.
- Small group sizes — your child is genuinely seen and cared for, not one of a crowd.
- Safety you can verify — CCTV throughout, secure entry, first-aid-trained staff, and continuous supervision. Not promises — systems.
- Experienced caregivers who understand how young children actually develop.
- Genuine play-based learning that builds language, motor, and social skills — not rote drilling.
- Transparent communication — regular updates on your child and an open door for your questions.
How we keep your child safe, every day
Safety at a daycare in Dhaka shouldn't be a promise you have to take on faith — it should be something you can see. Here's exactly what that looks like day to day:
- CCTV throughout the facility — every room your child spends time in is covered, not just the entrance.
- Controlled entry and exit — no child leaves with anyone other than an authorised parent or guardian, and access to the premises is managed at the door.
- Continuous adult supervision — children are never left unattended, including during nap and transition times.
- Small group sizes — kept low enough that caregivers can genuinely watch, know, and respond to every child in the room.
- First-aid trained staff — our team is trained in paediatric first aid and emergency response, so accidents are handled calmly and correctly.
- Daily hygiene routines — hand-washing at every transition, clean nap spaces, and sensible food handling to limit how illness spreads through a group.

Two campuses across Dhaka
We welcome families at two locations, both offering the full range of programmes:
- Dhanmondi (main campus) — 52/a Road No. 9A, Dhaka 1209
- Mohammadpur campus — 2/2 Shahjahan Road, Mohammadpur, Dhaka
Many families travel to us from across Dhaka — especially for our speech-delay support, which parents seek out from all over the city.
Specialist speech-delay care — something most daycares in Dhaka don't offer
If your child is slow to talk, you don't have to choose between daycare and speech support. At Happy's, specialist communication support is woven into the daycare day — so your child gets both, in one familiar, nurturing place. It's the service we're most proud of, and the reason families travel to us citywide. We never promise a fixed outcome on a fixed date, but many once-worried toddlers have grown into confident, chatty children in our care.
Honest, transparent fees
Quality daycare in Dhaka isn't the cheapest option, and we're honest about why — small ratios, experienced staff, real safety systems, and a genuine learning day all cost more than minding children in a crowded room. We'll always give you a clear, personalised fee at your visit, with a straightforward explanation of exactly what's included. (For how to think about daycare pricing, see Daycare Fees in Dhaka: What You're Really Paying For.)
Frequently asked questions about daycare in Dhaka
What ages do you accept at your Dhaka daycare?
We welcome infants from 6 months through preschool aged children up to 5 years old, across five groups: infant care, toddler care, nursery, playgroup, and kindergarten preparation. Speech delay care is available alongside any of these groups for children who need it.
What are your daycare hours in Dhaka?
We're open Sunday to Thursday, 8am to 6pm, and Saturday 9am to 1pm. We're closed on Friday. Both full-day and half-day schedules are available, so you can build a routine that fits your working hours.
How much does daycare cost in Dhaka?
Monthly fees generally range from 10,000 to 60,000 BDT, depending on the programme, your child's age group, and the schedule you choose. We give a clear, personalised fee at your visit rather than a generic number online — see our guide to daycare fees in Dhaka for how to think about the range.
What's the difference between your Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur campuses?
Both campuses run the full range of programmes — daycare, preschool, speech delay care, and art and after-school classes — with the same staff standards, safety systems, and daily structure. The only real difference is location, so most families simply choose whichever campus is closer to home or work.
Can my child get speech-delay support without leaving daycare?
Yes. Speech delay care is woven directly into the daycare day at both campuses, so a child who needs specialist communication support gets it alongside their regular group, in a familiar place, rather than being taken to a separate clinic.
How does enrolment actually work?
It's a simple four-step process: book a visit to see the campus and meet the team, choose the programme and schedule that fits your child, complete a short application, and then join us for a parent orientation before your child's first day.
Come and see for yourself
The best way to judge a daycare is to walk through the door. Book a visit to our Dhanmondi or Mohammadpur campus — meet the team, see the rooms, and ask us anything.
