We follow an earth schooling curriculum similar to that of Waldorf education, the learning process is essentially threefold, engaging head, heart, and hands-or thinking, feeling, and doing. We ask questions and treat each little like a child who knows the answers and wants to think for themselves, We explore learning through hands-on crafts designed to inspire the imagination, some ideas we can give you are watercolor paintings creating pics of what we see in nature while being guided by a story. Story time with puppets or with small wooden figurines on a nature table, stories that inspire kids to understand the seasons and the beauty of life. We move through the seasons with games, arts, and stories that promote cultural diversity by exploring different languages and cultural holidays. We explore mindfulness with yoga games and practice teaching kids how to listen to their hearts through games that inspire the understanding of using your intuition. We also love to inspire healthy eating habits and offer two healthy organic snacks a day, we learn table manners and work towards teaching kids to help clean up after themselves through song.

Hello, my name is Pilar. I am the founder and owner of Happy Little Faces. I opened Happy Little Faces in February 2010 in Concord. Then the business started growing and more children enrolling so we moved to Pleasant Hill to a bigger rented house in June 2010. In pleasant Hill I had a license for 14 children. In 2013 we bought our house in Concord. Most children left for the beginning of elementary school and those who were younger came along and stayed at the daycare.
