Happy Hearts Early Learning Center, Venice

At Happy Hearts Early Learning Center, our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment conducive to the emotional, physical and cognitive development of young children. We value all children and strive to respect their unique abilities and potentials. We realize the importance of the family-school connection and understand optimal growth is achievable through a true partnership with parents and guardians. We also acknowledge our place within the broader community and strive to develop purposeful relationships that prove to be mutually meaningful and rewarding. At Happy Hearts Early Learning Center, we promote learning by providing a developmentally appropriate program that balances play with structured learning opportunities. Emergent literacy is nurtured through a language-rich curriculum that uses quality literature to engage learners and encourage phonological awareness. We understand that involving students in dance, drama, music, and art has a positive impact on brain development. Therefore, we incorporate arts-based activities in order to cultivate student creativity, while developing an awareness and appreciation for the visual and performing arts.
