Absolutely wonderful school! They have a curriculum similar to Garland ISD and this definitely helps with the transition from Pre-K to kindergarten! The staff is professional and a joy to talk to about the children, They often give daily progress reports which help the parents follow what the child is learning and what parents can help work on at home. Overall, I highly recommend Happy Days School!
