- Happyland provides a warm, stimulating, and rich living/learning environment. We seek the Lord to obtain guidance in building within each child self-confidence and a positive self-concept. We strive to provide developmentally appropriate activities to develop skills and increase knowledge. We encourage the children to come to know the love of Jesus through Christian role modeling, loving care, prayer, teaching stories from God's Word, and singing songs about Jesus.

School Reviews
5 1/25/2018
My children have been in the Happyland classroom for the past 4 years. We have loved this school and my only wish is that they would go all the way through grade school. The children learn all they need to be prepared for elementary school plus they learn to be kind and love others the way God loves us.
