Our Philosophy | Happy Days Children's Learning Center

All children are special and deserve to be treated with loving care and respect. We provide an environment that encourages a child’s development of self-esteem, independence, and social skills.

Children learn positive and appropriate social behavior
Children develop an understanding of trust, honesty, and integrity
Children learn to communicate and express their feelings while developing empathy for the feelings of others
We take a positive approach to discipline and incorporate mutual problem solving, choices, and fair and consistent limits
We aim to meet individual needs, interests, and learning styles
Teachers provide encouragement and recognition to support the learning and progress

Our most important objective at Happy Days C.L.C. is to maximize the development and learning of everyone involved – children, parents, and teachers.

To be self-directed in a constructive, creative manner.
To learn to get along with other children as well as adults.
To develop self-control and a sense of right and wrong.
To develop a love for learning and the ability to learn how to learn.
To reach their potential physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development so they will be successful in their future educational experiences.

For Parents:

To feel good about their role as parents and about their children.
To gain insight into the behavior of preschool-aged children in general and their child in particular.
To provide an atmosphere of caring, acceptance, and support so parents and the program work as partners in this learning process.

For Teachers:

To learn appropriate and effective ways of working and communicating with young children.
To experience developmental differences of children from ages two and a half through five.
