Happy Faces Daycare and Pre-school is a learning environment for your child. Our school is the beautifully restored Hardee Chambliss House which provides the perfect setting for nurturing and developing your child.
As a house, the rooms are not overwhelming, which allows your child to focus on learning, building relationships, and interacting with their teachers.
It is vitally important to us to provide a happy atmosphere where the children and their families feel secure and cared for.
We aim to present learning opportunities in stimulating, diverse, and fun ways so that children leave us feeling confident and well-prepared for school. These activities are provided during free play and through small and large group activities.
Your child’s as well as your peace of mind are our top priorities. We want parents who are engaged with their children and ones who we can work with as partners in their children’s development.
