Our Philosophy
Here at Happy Face Childcare and Preschool Inc. we serve children ranging from newborns through age 6. We strive to provide high quality and developmentally appropriate programs. Our programs include monthly themes which incorporate a variety of learning experiences.
- Learning happens in an environment that encourages hands-on experience through activity and play. Your child’s teacher will provide developmentally appropriate challenges and support your child in exploring the world. Remember that not all learning occurs in writing and papers, but rather with hands on learning; therefore, don’t be surprised if your child is not bringing papers every day.
- Children learn best when they are given opportunities to participate in activities and games that involve concrete physical and social experiences. We carefully balance activities that develop cognitive skills with painting, block play and dramatic play to enhance social and emotional development. The teaching staff carefully structures the classrooms and plans learning experiences to guide children in their development.
- Teachers are role models that guide children in a friendly and secure environment. Our rooms are busy, interesting, activity-centered places where staff follows a daily schedule. Children enjoy learning through both structured activities as well as supervised free play.
- In providing children with a wide range of activities to choose from such as music, art, free play, math, science, the natural world, outdoor play, and games that support fine and gross motor skills as well as social communication and language skills.
