Happy Time Cooperative School
Preschool in Pismo Beach, CA 93449
We offer a developmental program that is designed to meet the needs of children aged 3 (by December 2nd) through 6 years. There are periods of time set aside for child-selected activities as well as teacher directed experiences. There are opportunities for indoor and outdoor activities, individual, small and large group activities, fantasy and play, creative expression, language development, large and fine motor skill development. Our Director/Teacher designs the curriculum and provides the materials and activities that are age and developmentally appropriate. In the Preschool programs, the parents act as support staff. With the parents working, there is a ratio of one adult to five children, giving each child the opportunity to receive adult assistance when it is needEducation
Cooperative Preschools are unique in offering education to both parents and children. We benefit through our exposure to a wide variety of materials, through our experiences, and through the relationships we develop at school. We believe that the time spent at Happy Time Cooperative Preschool will be enjoyable, educational, sometimes challenging, and time very well spent.

My personal goals in directing and teaching an early childhood program are:
- To provide a safe, secure, nurturing place for children.
- To offer a wide variety of materials, opportunities and activities aimed at enhancing the overall development of the child.
- To promote social and emotional development through opportunities in play for problem solving, independent learning choices, and cooperative play.
I believe that children are unique and should be accepted and nurtured as such. Before children can develop succesSFully, they must feel safe, secure and valued as individuals. This statement guides my philosophy for our program and for the environment of the school. The program at Happy Time Cooperative Preschool will guide each child’s development and offer many opportunities for exploration, play and learning in all areas of development – physical, intellectual, emotional and social.
