Welcome to the Happy Kids Discovery Expedition!​
A Sensory-Rich STEM Academy where curiosity leads the way.
​
Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow and thrive through play-based learning and positive relationships. We believe in supporting the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually—fostering curiosity, creativity, and confidence for a strong foundation in lifelong learning. By partnering with families, we ensure that child's unique needs are met with care and respect, promoting hands-on and meaningful interactions that encourage exploration and discovery.

The Nurturing Nest (Infants)
Animal: The Owl
-
Class Name: The Wise Owlets: Sensory Observation Suite
-
The Description: "In our quietest corner of the jungle, the Owlets focus on Visual and Auditory Discovery. This serene 'Nido' environment is designed for gentle sensory input, where infants observe the world with wonder through high-contrast materials and soft melodic sounds."
The Kinetic Path (Toddlers)
Animal: The Tiger
-
Class Name: The Pouncing Tigers: Tactile Explorer Lab
-
The Description: "Toddlers learn through movement! The Tiger Lab is a Kinetic Discovery Zone where children build motor skills. From navigating foam 'jungle logs' to messy play in our 'mud' (sensory dough) bins, we turn every pounce into a learning milestone."
The High-Level Discovery Studio (Pre-K 3/4)
Animal: The Giraffe
​
-
Class Name: The Tall Timber: Analytical STEM Studio
-
The Description: "Our Giraffes have a higher perspective on learning. This studio focuses on Analytical Discovery, where children look at the 'Big Picture' of science and math. Using light tables and engineering blocks, they reach for new academic heights in a Reggio-inspired environment.

Where Mealtime Equals Love—and Learning.
You want your child to eat well—and be happy, healthy, and active. We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we provide nutritious meals and snacks to meet the needs of rapidly growing bodies and minds. For 2018, our registered dietitian made big changes to our food program: We don't serve juice (too much sugar). We don’t serve fried foods. We don’t serve sugary snacks like graham crackers.
