Happyland Preschool

We come from Norway, known for excellent public preschool for all. We visited several pre Schools when we moved to the US, and did not find any We liked- until we found Happyland! Our kid loves this little beautiful School with the wonderful staff. The school has top facilities and we were impressed by the repertoire of toys and learning tools inside and the great playground outside with trees that provide shade and beauty. We are so grateful We found you Happyland, and dont want any other parent to doubt what School to choose here in Niceville!

Honestly cannot verbalize how much we love Happyland Preschool. My son attended the Government Ave location for preschool as a 3yo and preK as a 4yo (including before and after care) and had such a wonderful experience. He learned so much and all of the teachers were unbelievably wonderful. We feel so lucky he got to go to school there, and 100% recommend it to all of our friends.

I noticed there were no reviews on here so I thought I would be the first. This preschool is tiny and when we first moved here we were debating if we should put my 3 year old in Crosspoint or Happyland. Well Happyland was the first to call after being on the waiting list and I was hesitant because it was so small and not as fancy as Crosspoint. Once we were accepted and told our new friends that our son was going to Happyland people automatically asked how we got him in there because it's one of the more desirable schools in Niceville. I guess we got lucky. Once school started my fears automatically went out the window. it's a small class, they only accept a small amount of kids so every kid gets the attention they need. The teachers were great. I don't know how to express how amazing they were with my kid and how well they treated him. They truly deserve more pay then what they get and you can tell they love being there and interacting with the kids. I saw my kid grow into a social butterfly and each week he would come home more knowledgeable then the last. I saw my friend kids come home from Crosspoint, and although Crosspoint is also a good school I was able to tell the difference between what the parents told me and what was happening at Happyland. Crosspoint is essentially Wal-Mart and Happyland is the mom and pop shop. If you have the opportunity to get your kid into Happyland, Do it. Put yourself on the wait list and wait it out, you won't be disappointed. It actually broke my heart having to tell the school that we were moving and won't be returning after the summer. You want a school with amazing teachers, great curriculum, family environment with involved parents and teachers that's care, this is the school. I will always have a happy place in my heart for Happyland. I hope I find a place in Navarre like this.

So amazing with kids, they actually care and respect the children, and give their full attention to them. You can tell it is not just "some job" to them, it is their passion, and it is reflective on the children's faces with smiles when the parents pick them up after school.
