Happy Minds Kids Academy

Happy Minds Kids Academy is a developmental preschool in Mission Viejo, California, dedicated to fostering a love of learning in young minds. Founded on the philosophies of High/Scope, Developmental, and Montessori, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can explore, discover, and reach their full potential.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the immense potential of early childhood and its profound influence on a child's development. Our program promotes:

• Social/Emotional Development: We foster empathy, collaboration, and self-confidence through positive interactions and social guidance.
• Cognitive Development: A variety of engaging activities stimulate curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
• Practical Life Skills: Children learn essential skills like self-care, table setting, and basic cooking in our real-life learning environment.
• Sensory Exploration: Through hands-on discovery, children explore their surroundings and learn about the natural world.
• Language Arts: We nurture language skills through storytelling, dramatic play, and vocabulary-rich conversations.
• Mathematics: Everyday activities present opportunities to learn counting, sorting, and classifying.
