Looking Toward The Next 30 Years

Dear Happy Day Parents,

Happy Day Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten has been in operation since 1976. Now after years of excellence in Early Childhood Education, we have begun the process to expand our programming to offer further educational opportunities by adding elementary grades over the next five years. It is our intent to start the 2006 school year with the addition of First Grade. In the following years we will add a grade a year to
culminate with Sixth Grade. Our success will depend on the amount of interest we get from families such as yours.

We are developing the new programs around our core beliefs and founding concepts which promote faith and Christian love; it is these concepts that made our current programs so successful. Our school and your home will work together to create an educational plan for your child. Our wholesome,
meaningful learning environment will provide the educational foundation upon which your child can succeed and soundly grow. Within a school day, children will be given opportunities to think convergently as well as divergently, and consideration will be given as to each child’s developmental readiness for social, emotional, academic and physical tasks, so important in the early learning years of primary education. This early
learning environment will include explorations in the arts, sciences and Spanish, as well as hands-on opportunities within the classroom learning environment of quiet seatwork, small group study and large group discussion, as is important to each child’s well-rounded education.

We are very excited about this opportunity to make a difference in Early Childhood Education in our community and we will need your help! If you would like to learn more about our vision, please contact me at 707-689-7410.

Our faith sustains us, our hope for the future awakens us and our love of young children and their families motivates us.

Blessings Abound,
Shirley Caine,
Director
