ABOUT

 

Happy Horizons Childcare is a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide high-quality, accessible childcare in a safe and nurturing environment, enabling families to continue or obtain employment or to further their education in order to improve the economic stability of their family and the community in which they live.

 

We provide age-appropriate curriculum for each class . Our schedules ensure that our daily plans cover activities that allow children to use varying skills. For example, dramatic play versus fingerpainting strengthen different developmental skills and give the day some variety for your preschoolers! We strive to provide and meet the needs of the whole child.

 

We provide musical experiences, warm interaction with others, exploring through directed playtime (indoors and out), learning new skills, sensory activities, and creative arts and crafts.

We are licensed and inspected annually by the City of Moscow as well as the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and we comply with all requirements.  We are also now participating in the Steps to Quality program through Idaho STARS.
