Curriculum Designed for Your Child's Development
Preschoolers love to Move, Run, Jump, Play Games, Sing Songs, Imagine, Create, Ask Questions, and Tell Stories. These elements are the WORK of a child!
The HappyFeet curriculum is designed to engage your child's rapidly developing imagination. Our fitness, self-concept, and soccer developmental benchmarks are hidden inside songs, stories, games, and adventures - all centered around a soccer ball, "Bob the Bobcat"!

The BIG Picture
“If the child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach in the way the child learns.”
Rita Dunn
“For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does ‘just for fun’ and things that are ‘educational.’ The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.”
Penelope Leach
“Those things you learn without joy you will forget easily.”
Finnish
"The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.”
Maria Montessori
“Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do, and then, if you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before.”
Loris Malaguzzi
“You cannot make people learn. You can only provide the right conditions for learning to happen.”
Vince Gowmon
