Our Mission and Philosophy
Our mission is to cultivate a caring community where parents and teachers collaborate to respect and honor childhood by offering a play-based, developmentally appropriate program that nurtures the whole child.
At Happytime, children are free to explore, create, get messy, play, learn, make mistakes, and grow at their own pace in a safe, loving environment built just for them. Each child is considered both as a unique individual and part of a group. Essential guidance is provided by parents and teachers as children gain confidence, empathy, trust, and respect for self and others.
