As a preschool in Chicago, Illinois, Happy Kids Preschool & Daycare Center offers several programs for our students.
Toddler Care
We care for children 15 to 23 months old. Our educational program is constructed so children can learn early social skills, self-service, develop motor skills (like holding a spoon on crayon, hopping, catching or throwing a ball…), learn to talk, learn early math, like counting, patterning or sorting, learn about the world (people, animals, families, nature…) and much, much more. We sing, dance, paint, draw and do lots of other activities, so our day is full of games, play, and learning. We potty train. Our classroom is safe, colorful and equipped in safe, age-appropriate toys and educational materials. (Program unavailable in 7622 W Belmont

Preschool
We care for children 2-5 years old. Our educational program includes learning languages, math, science, art, music and much more. We teach through play, based on Piaget’s Theory. We put much pressure on what children see around. We teach children aesthetic values because we believe, that a human who can see and understand nature, art, music understands the world better. Science, art, and music are one of the most essential and creative activities during the preschool years. Because we are sure we create future doctors, lawyers, teachers or maybe even a President, we always raise our teaching scopes. Our program is based on Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards.
Kindergarten
We offer a full day Kindergarten approved by the Illinois Board of Education. Our program is based on the Illinois Kindergarten Standards. We teach Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Physical Development and Health, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, Social/Emotional Development… We do our best, to open your child’s creative capability, to teach how to be independent and liable people and to prepare them for school education. This program is only full week.
Spring break, summer camp, holidays
We are open all year long except New Year’s Eve, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. If you are looking for care during not listed above holidays, Spring Break or vacations, we are a place for your child.
Adaptation Program
This program is created for shy and crying children. The parent can be with the child for an hour a day for the first week (10.00-11.00) or 3.00-4.00). Then, for the next month, the child stays by himself for 3 hours a day, every day. After that time, the child is ready to keep full time.
