I'm a mom of two boys that attend Happy Days in Santa Clara and I feel so lucky that we found this school. The teachers are fantastic and found just the right mix of academics and fun. A nice feature is web cams in each classroom. Families are given their own individual password and they can log in through out the day to see what's going on in the class. We shared our password with the Grandparents who live across the country and they "watch" the kids every day.

Our study program and education approach are based on the theory of Jean Piaget and his research which focuses mainly on the intellectual/conceptual development of the child. Piaget claims that an adequate environment will eNHAnce the child’s inner motivation to investigate understand learn and overcome hurdles he encounters. This self-study equips the child with adequate tools to cope with his daily living surroundings. The child passes from one intellectual/conceptual stage to another when ready in a natural way at his own pace; all of this on condition that we supply him the “appropriate materials” and a surrounding supportive of his inquiries.
We see of the utmost importance in the physical form and organization with the class: Esthetics (which we will develop in the children) and play study and imagination centers* will merge in harmonic flow and act as catalytic factors that will motivate provide and provoke the child to new and varied experiences. These experiences will broaden and find the intellectual mental creative and social development of the child.
