Laugh, Play, Learn

Our Curriculum

At Happy Days, we recognize that every child learns differently. Our classroom offers every child a safe and inspiring environment to fuel their imagination while having fun learning. Our teachers are keen to turning every day activities into learning moments fostering innovation and inspiring curiosity.

Our preschool program emphasizes reading readiness, early math skills, and learning through scientific observation.  Our STEAM curriculum component, also known as (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is a fundamentally comprehensive core every child needs.  We nourish the child’s inquisitive nature by offering hands on experiences to build their understanding and vocabulary along with problem solving skills, communication skills, and reflection

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.
