Happy Tots Montessori School

General Info
Infant/Toddler Center: We accept infants and toddlers from 1 Month to 24 Months. Montessori School: We accept children between the ages of 2 and 6. Established in 2001. Our objective is to provide carefully planned stimulating environments, which help children, develop essential habits, attitudes, skills and ideas for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. Montessori's philosophy of following the growing needs of each individual child gives children the freedom to experiment and learn in a "prepared environment" at their own pace in a non-competitive atmosphere. This allows the physical, intellectual, emotional and social potential of each child to unfold. The core of Dr. Montessori's philosophy states that as children acquire an "inner discipline" from their exposure to both physical and mental order, they become free to learn - the natural impulse to learn is self-motivation of the child.

Great School:)

We were initially introduced to Happy Tots a few years ago when my niece was no-longer able to provide childcare for us. We searched and visited many schools and paid to be on a few waiting lists. Then one of our friends told us about the great experience that they had with Happy Tots. Happy Tots was able to place our infant into the infant center immediately. It turned out losing our niece as the caregiver was a blessing in disguise. Our oldest daughter was now being taught by experts that truly care and love for her and now her baby sister as well. Both of our children seem to be advancing faster both socially and mentally. We are helicopter parents and are very selective with our children; and still I would give Happy Tots the highest recommendation.

Great PreSchool !

I started using their Infant center for my daughter when she was a year old and loved it. After visiting many other infant centers and home day cares in this area, Happy Tots had the cleanest infant section. My daughter is now in the preschool section and totally loves it there too. This is probably one of the few preschools following Montessori Model in this area. The premesis is secure with high fences for children's privacy and safety. Staff is wonderful and very cooperative. I couldnt have found a better place to send my daughter to. I would definately recommend it to any parent.

Great School

Our daughter has been at this school for over one year and we love it! The staff is so caring and my daughter has learned so much. The teachers take the time to make sure that the kids ad learning. I have never seen such a great loving team. We are so happy that we found that daycare. It is smaller which is a plus and children really receive personal loving care.

Outstanding school

We were very fortunate in finding this school. We were looking for a Montessori school for our preschooler and the timing could not have been better. Our 5 year old son is completing his second year at Happy Tots and it's been wonderful. He has learned so much that we believe he will be truly successful in school. We are sure he has a great foundation. The school is small and the staff is friendly and helpful.

The owner has been providing care/schooling for my children for the past eight years, and all I can say nothing can match the quality and care that is provided. Recently, the school has been moved to a bigger location. My son is currently in 3rd grade, and the skills that he learned at the school, has enabled him to excel in school . My daughter has been attending Happy Tots, and she is soo happy there. She is 4, and already reading and doing simple math. She comes home and wants to read, read, read. The key philosophy at Happy Tots is that they make learning fun, so the kids really want to learn. I give Happy Tots Montessori School my highest recommendation.
