Happy Hollow does ok, but they could really stand to improve. They charge more than any other preschool I know of, and yet I always feel like the teachers are more interested in socializing with one another than with paying attention to the needs of the children. This is not true across the board (with all teachers), but it is something I've observed countless times with several of them. One of the things that drove me to select Happy Hollow in the first place was the eco-friendly touting they are given. I don't understand the basis of this. It must be a holdover from the way the previous owners did business. I think current owners Mario and Laura do a very nice job, but they don't have any environmental focus that I've noticed. They are nice people, but they need a little restructuring of their rates (DOWN) and they need teachers who aren't interested in kids to GO.
