3 year olds Welcome to your child's classroom ...We believe that all children are thinkers, researchers, and problem solvers.  Our program revolves around the valuing of relationships, open dialogue and collaboration, which we believe supports the development of strong relationships between members of this community-children, parents, and educators-& the communities beyond these walls.  Back To Programs Children construct their own understanding and meaning from hands on experience and interaction with others.  They learn how to: collaborate  negotiate  listen to others  share,   be a friend and become a friend.  We believe these necessary life skills enhance their social ability and affect their cognition.    Our rich environment and community supports many ways in which children learn.  Each day the children have the opportunity to engage in:  reading & writing music & art block building & dramatic play    science large motor activities outside community walks and play.  Our professionally trained staff creates learning opportunities that supports the uniqueness of each child’s development while working in small and large groups. Children are taught a variety of ways to express themselves and to share what they’ve learned. We believe in teaching children how to learn-how to ask questions, seek answers, and attach meaning to their discoveries.  Using a variety of resources including community experts and parents offer children a rich learning experience.  We work hard to develop and plan experiences for critical and deep thinking.     At Happy Time, we focus on relationships with children, families, and staff and provide: Nurturing and loving attention Respectful and consistent schedule for eating, sleeping and playing Safe and rich environment to grow and learn in Daily communication Open door policy     click here to go to our 4 to 5 year old program
