The Happy Hearts program is designed to enhance all facets of the child's development- the emotional, the social, the physical and the intellectual.
We believe that a child's positive self-image is a building block to learning and is therefore equally as important as learning the ABCs or numbers.
Balancing between a traditional school format and a modern curriculum including creative hands-on learning experiences, our graduates go on to first grade with the necessary skills and social foundation needed to enable them to meet future school challenges with their fullest potential.
