Our Kitchen & Nutrition

Food is a big part of a child’s day — and we take it seriously. We have a fully licensed kitchen right on campus, where our chef prepares fresh, homemade meals three times daily.


Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are cooked and served warm each day.

We prioritize organic, seasonal produce and work only with certified local suppliers.

Menus are developed in consultation with nutrition specialists to provide the right balance of proteins, grains, fruits, and vegetables.


We accommodate allergies and special dietary needs so every child feels comfortable and included.


Meals also teach children healthy habits — from exploring new flavors to learning table manners and sharing with friends.

Sample Menu


  • Breakfast: Omelet, fresh fruit and berries, cheese sandwich, fruit juice
  • Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, beef stew with vegetables, bread, tea
  • Afternoon Snack: Milk and a roll/pastry
  • Dinner: Baked cottage cheese pudding, juice
Kitchen with cabinets, range hood, stove, refrigerator, and counter.

Healthy In-House Kitchen

Benefits

We provide play-based early childhood education, fostering creativity, social-emotional growth, and cognitive skills in a safe, inclusive environment.

At Happy Kids Academy, our dedicated teachers inspire growth, creating a supportive, engaging environment where every child thrives.

Our exceptional curriculum blends creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning, ensuring each child develops essential skills for success.

Purpose-Built Facility

Our campus was constructed as a preschool from the ground up — not a converted house. Classrooms average 500 sq. ft. each, filled with natural light and equipped with modern ventilation and air purification systems. Outdoors, children enjoy a 5,000 sq. ft. fenced playground designed for both active play and safe exploration.

Holistic Development

In addition to academic classes with our teachers, children can join a variety of extra-curricular programs offered on campus. every week we host chess, art, music, karate, and soccer lessons, led by experienced instructors who come directly to our preschool. Families don’t need to drive children elsewhere — high-quality enrichment is fully integrated into the school day, helping kids discover new interests, build confidence, and strengthen social skills.

We maintain a small children’s garden on campus, where kids plant seeds, nurture them, and watch the plants grow. This hands-on experience teaches responsibility, patience, and care for nature, while giving children the joy of seeing the results of their own efforts.

We believe a preschool is more than a place for learning — it’s a community for families. Throughout the year we organize family-friendly events, holiday celebrations, open classes, and workshops that bring parents, children, and teachers together. These gatherings help families connect, build friendships, and create a warm, supportive environment where every child feels they belong.

Nature, Animals & Exploration

We help children connect with the world around them:

Backyard garden – teaches responsibility, nature, and life cycles.

Mini-zoo visits – featuring animals like rabbits and turtles. Kids even ride a mini horse!


Safety First

The facility is monitored by 24/7 video surveillance with both motion and audio sensors. Access is strictly controlled through a secure entry system, and all staff undergo background checks and CPR/First Aid certification.

We are a state-licensed preschool with a proven track record of 10+ years. Our programs are regularly audited to ensure compliance with the highest standards of early education and childcare.

Creative Expression & Confidence Building

We encourage every child to shine:

Monthly performances – children sing, tell stories, and recite poems for peers and parents.

Specialty enrichment classes – including dance, karate, art, cheerleading, and singing with expert teachers.
