A Safe and Exciting Space with Everything Your Child Needs
We have created a truly unique center for children with different needs.
Classrooms
Children have to learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. We are proud to provide a variety of classrooms tailored to the children's age and the number of children attending. We have special areas with educational materials, books, games, and toys, as well as art workspaces, and areas for eating and napping. The center also offers a large indoor playroom for exercise in bad weather.
Nutrition
Breakfasts, lunches, and snacks are included in tuition. We strive to meet all individual dietary needs through careful communication with parents. We contract with the company which supplies the Happy Childhood kitchen with 100% local and organic food products. All meals do not contain hormones, antibiotics, and peanuts and comply with FDA and DCFS nutrition requirements.
Outdoors
Our spacious outdoor space is just another Happy Childhood's classroom and a feature of our learning center! Beautiful garden, two bike paths, and a big playground offer a wide range of daily activities. All children go outdoors twice a day when the weather conditions are good. Outdoor playing strengthens our center's community and increases the children's readiness for kindergarten.
We are all united by our love for children.
