Happy Hollow Learning Center states that it believes childcare is a partnership with families and that it partners with parents to help children learn and grow. The program notes that it is the kind of day care center children are excited about and that it is small enough to care and flexible enough to meet a family’s busy schedule, including offering 4- and 5-day rates for ages 6 weeks to 12 years. The center reports that availability is limited and that children “come and grow,” so there are new openings each year.

The teaching staff at Happy Hollow Learning Center are described as dedicated and highly trained early childhood teachers who complete a minimum of 25 hours of continuous training each year. Staff training includes emergency response, First Aid, CPR, and AED. The program states that it is serious about safety, has emergency plans, and practices regularly for fire, tornado, and evacuation. It also works with local police and fire departments on security and lockdown scenarios.

Happy Hollow Learning Center reports that it prioritizes smaller class sizes to support individual attention and emphasizes a balance between group socialization, interaction, and individualized goals, with daily opportunities for individualized choice. The program notes that it uses a variety of methods to communicate with parents daily, provides bi-annual formal parent-teacher conferences, and offers performance feedback. It also states that it has a 5-star rating with NAC, which it identifies as Youngstar’s highest quality rating.
