About US

We are very excited to have opened our doors in the fall of 2013. We are conveniently located in the heart of Jersey City walking distance to the Path Trains and transportation in Journal Square. Our school offers a loving, safe, and educational environment for your child to grow, learn and play. Our small class size provides the children with plenty of one-on-one instruction with the staff.

We understand how difficult it can be for working parents to balance all of their commitments and responsibilities in their lives. For this reason, we strive to offer a program that will enrich your child’s development while putting your mind at ease.

One of our goals is to assist your child in developing important values such as: good manners, caring, sharing, patience, communication, team work, while teaching them responsibility, and developing interest within the child to learn. We believe that children learn best through play, and we will implement these important values throughout our day.

Our Curriculum

Our preschool program emphasizes reading readiness, early math skills, and learning through scientific observation. At Happy Days we are aware that children at this special age may speak a different language at home and so we specialize in helping your children master the English language and prepare them for Kindergarten.
We also encourage problem solving, cognitive thinking, math concepts and logistics. Blocks and other manipulative toys foster the child’s ability to plan, problem solve, and creative thinking. Our daily art projects promote creativity and self-expression while the songs, games, rhythm instruments and group ensembles will help them learn musical concepts. Dance and movement promote physical fitness and coordination.
