Give Your Child the #1 Preschool Curriculum
The Number 1 Preschool Curriculum
As our preschool curriculum, we follow the UK Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. This system was established by the British Office for Standards in Education, and uses six overlapping age bands. Every child is different, and children do not grow and develop at the same rate or in the same way.
We spent years building our preschool curriculum on this academically–proven foundation. It’s a unique, integrated program that evolves as your child gains confidence and develops at Happy Bunnies Child Care School.

What Parents Say About Our Preschool Curriculum…
My son has been going to Happy Bunnies for over 2 years now and we are very happy with the day care. The caring teachers and flexible hours have been great, and I see constant improvements at the school. They are open to suggestions and have been very communicative about the daily activities which is very much appreciated.
My son is very sad to be leaving to go to public school this Fall! He has made great friends there and has loved all of his teachers.
Leaving my 10 month old was hard at first, but the teachers give frequent updates and pictures and I always know what is going on. I truly never have to worry about the girls because i know they are in such good hands.
Magdalena, the owner, is such a kind person and so easy to talk to. She is incredibly understanding and amazingly flexible because she just gets it! My hours aren’t always consistent and she has been understanding 100% of the time and has worked with me regarding hours for the girls.
I hope that I’m able to express how amazing this daycare is because it will be hard to find another one like it.
My girls (4&5) love coming to Happy Bunnies! They are always excited to see Ms. Tasha. Ms. Magdalena is kind, flexible, and professional. My youngest started when she was 3 and it was her first “school” experience. She adjusted quickly and happily with the help of the Happy Bunnies staff. If you’re interested in a safe, educational environment at a fair price, please choose to support this small local family owned business!
