Welcome To Happy Feet Academy Day CareOne of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make is where to put their child in a day care center. We are here to make that decision easier for you while you’re away. We are a fully licensed home daycare providing a safe and nurturing environment for your child. Our focus is to give each child the personalized child care they need to be healthy, happy, and socially developed. Please take some time to look around my website, get to know us, and what we are all about! I look forward to hearing from you!
Happy Feet Academy is more then a 24 hour daycare (Monday thru Friday) center or preschool, it is a place where as a parent you can be comfortable with the care and educational activities that are offered. We want each child to develop into a life long learner and we motivate them through stimulation of physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. We want to support the development of a positive self- image and cultivate creativity. We are committed in reinforcing your home efforts, and making sure that each child understands their value. Each child should consistently have the appropriate personalized attention. They should always feel encouraged, loved, hugged, accepted, and fully respected. Happy Feet Academy wants to welcome you to a tour of our nurturing environment that helps children grow, and excel. |

Child Care Philosophy
Here at Happy Feet Academy we believe that the first years of a child’s life are by far the most important. Therefore, we help lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development. Through nurturing and individualized attention, we take great care to provide a warm, friendly, and fun environment for your child while ensuring they receive the guidance and structure they need. Our goal is to provide a place where children know they are accepted, loved, protected and wanted. We strive to instill in each child a strong sense of self-worth and purpose. We understand that our job is to create abundant positive child experiences and fun interactions as the day progresses. It is our hope that when the day is done and children go home, they feel happy, proud of themselves, and eager to express the happenings of their day to you.
Behavior Management Philosophy
We are a day care that provides a very flexible and structured daily routine, which ensures that each child is comfortable in this learning environment. Children’s interactions with one another are carefully watched, giving us an opportunity to help instill common values within each child. How we teach the children good manners, kindness, and respect to other children is carefully taught at Happy Feet Academy.
When a child displays inappropriate behavior towards others, he or she is encouraged to make amends through a sincere apology; all in a sustained effort to help teach children the basic understanding of right and wrong. In addition, sharing, taking turns, problem solving, and teamwork are stressed with equal importance, so that the children can learn to play harmoniously with one another; helping to lay the foundation for all social interactions to come later in life.
We believe that the discipline of a child is achieved through patience, consistency, positive reinforcement and redirection. We also understand that we as caregivers must set the example. That our actions and reactions speak much louder than words.
