Meet Meladi
Meet Meladi Butler, owner and operator of Happy Sunny Childcare and Learning Center. With over 10 years of professional childcare experience, Meladi brings a wealth of knowledge and a nurturing spirit to our center.
She successfully managed a toddler classroom, caring for up to 13 toddlers, before transitioning to a full-time nanny role for a family who recognized her exceptional bond with their child. Meladi spent seven fulfilling years with this family, and their connection remains strong to this day.
A proud mom, Meladi has raised three boys of her own (ages 12, 13, and 20). Her unique ability to “speak their language” helps children of all ages feel understood and cherished. For Meladi, teaching young minds is more than a job – it's a pure joy and passion.

“My passion for working with children began over 10 years ago at Sunnyside Daycare in Bellevue. This experience, followed by 7 wonderful years as a nanny for a family who became like my own, solidified my love for teaching and watching children grow. These experiences inspired me to create Happy Sunny Childcare and Learning Center, a place where every child can feel loved and supported.”
