Programs
Happy Hollow provides guided learning through integrative stations and centers which are set up to present and expand on old and new ideas.
Our focus and commitment is to the whole child, which spans the creative, independent, self-confident, capable, unique child. We offer guided free play with materials that encourage imaginative thinking and creativity. We are focused on social-emotional skills, world exploration and cooperative learning skills over general academics.
Preschool
Preschool is a time for children to expand their natural curiosity about the world around them as they work to construct knowledge, get along with others and utilize their interests and growing skills to reach out to the rest of the world. Our preschool program at Happy Hollow will activate, encourage and challenge the growth of each child's knowledge base, self-identity, independence, communication, creative problem solving, conflict resolution and self regulation skill sets while celebrating and respecting their unique character.
Students within our program are mentored to reach
their full potential as learners and individuals as we
delve and immerse ourselves within an integrated curriculum based on social responsibility within a respectful community. We accept students who are 30 months to 5 years in our preschool and offer 3-5 days of half day or full day enrollment.
Students that enter our program are NOT required to be potty independent! We do ask families to be ALL in and we support through the potty learning
process as we are a diaper free program.
We provide Potty Learning Zoom meetings, parent education, and one on one family support through the potty learning process.
Fun Fact!
Wonder Room
A highlight of our program is the addition of the "Wonder Room". Students visit the Wonder Room multiple times per week like you would see in elementary schools similar to specials like P.E., Music, etc. The Wonder Room provides exposure for all to Music, Creative Movement, Art, Group Games, Activity Focused Outdoor Exploration and a plethora of other enriched activities! Early exposure to transitions, different learning environments in the day and "specials" teacher is one way we support kindergarten readiness and keeping the days fresh and enriched.
