We love this wonderful little gem of a school in Ranch Santa Fe! My husband and I took a tour of Happy Time just before our daughter turned 2 years old. We had visited a few other preschools that were nice enough, but once we toured Happy Time, we knew this was the right place for our daughter (we even wanted to sign up for preschool!) How could you not fall in love with a place that has no more than 26 kids and 4 teachers, activities such as pony rides, collecting fresh eggs from chickens, gymnastics, Spanish, music, a garden to grow vegetables in, and ending each day with ""High Tea"" (aka juice and cookies) where you celebrate each and every big and little accomplishment. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a happy childhood. ""Big Teacher"", John Paul, HyeSuk and all the other staff at Happy Time treat each child individually, bringing out the best in each child. The kids practice their manners, learn to be ""kind and loving"" towards everyone and the youngest to the oldest children in attendance all learn and grow together. My daughter has loved every single day of her 3 years at Happpy Time, and although she has been well prepared for kindergarten by all the individualized learning she has received while at Happy Time, we will be very sad to leave this wonderful school. Do not hesitate to go and see this lovely treasure for yourself - you and your child will be glad you did!
