My name is Nora. I am the owner and director of Happy Tots Academy. I have over 30 years of experience, working with children and even raised two of my own. I was the Owner and Director of Happyland Preschool in Los Angeles for 25 years. While running a Preschool and Kindergarten for 25 years, I felt I was in need of some rest and decided to sell Happyland. A year into my retirement, I felt something was missing in my life. I longed to once again work hard at something I love doing. Realizing that working with children is what I do best, I decided to open up my own home as a daycare center. Five years later I could not be happier. The fulfillment that I gain from being a part of each child's life means more to me that I can put into words. Our home daycare meets all requirements established by the State of California Community Care Licensing. All staff members are Infant CPR and First Aid certified. We understand that you are entrusting us with your most precious possession. We take this responsibility very seriously. We look forward to the opportunity of caring for your child.

Preschool
Enrolling 2 1/2 - 5 yrs of age. My Friend's Preschool, we are providing you with a peace of mind that during these early years of education your child is learning and developing their emotional, social physical, spiritual and intellectual skills through a fun play-based curriculum. We use the 7 meaningful skills to strength the foundation of academics. Which are: Create, Move, Sing, Discuss, Observe, Read and Play. Play being the concrete that holds the foundation of the house of academics. Intellectual learning takes place when we provide a wide variety of choices in activities that cover numerous subject matter, open-ended tasks and skill development all in the context of play with teachers who make it a goal to extend the child's discovery. My Friend's Preschool supports a "developmental appropriate" curriculum that addresses activities for each age and stage of development. Specific curriculum is developed based on the need, interests and skill levels of children in each group. This flexibility is a description of the "emergent" opportunity that allows teachers to take advantage of "teachable moments". In this way, learning occurs in the context of meaning for the child, The physical environment establishes play areas in which teachers can make materials in various pre-academic areas such as dramatic play, art, science, math, sensory play, book corner, writing table, manipulative play, blocks, music and movement. Emergent Literacy Emergent literacy maintains that children's literacy development follows a continuum that is based on their natural growth and maturation. In young children, it begins with symbols. As their brain matures, the symbols begin to take on abstract meanings, It is then that children begin to understand (decode) written language. And with the development of small motor skills, writing skills begin to emerge as well. As the children's brain develops, and as they continue to mature their literacy skills will grow as well. The teacher have been careful to create with the children a literacy-rich environment that will foster a life-long language learning and loving experience.
