Happy Times Preschool and Summer Camps
Happy Times’ goal is to provide a positive, creative learning environment in which each child may fully develop socially, emotionally, physically and academically. Programs are designed to ease parent and child separation, and set the stage for future learning through a positive first experience at school. The cozy neighborhood location aids this transition. Preschool programs are in session both mornings (8:45-11:15am) and afternoons (12:15-2:45pm). Children 2 1/2 to five years old may enroll in two, three or four half days.
Happy Times also features summer camps for children ages 2-1/2 to 6 who enjoy a fun, educational experience. Students may attend 2 or 3 days per week from 9:00-11:30am. Two summer sessions are offered– June and July.
For more information, contact Happy Times Preschool at (630) 355-8282 or visit www.happytimespreschool.org. The school is located at 420 W. Gartner Rd., Naperville.
