Happyland Pre-School

in an Indian way to retain our values, culture and traditions. We offer a blend of academics and play-learn activities to bring out the latent creativity of the child and develop their self-confidence, knowledge and social skills, giving each child a rich foundation. Happyland is a place where children grow and develop while reading, listening and playing. Here they evolve from dependence to independence, from shaky coordination to refined skills, from body language to verbal communication, from self-absorption to growing social awareness. Maintaining a very healthy teacher child ratio of 1 to 5, Happyland gives every child the individual attention required at this tender age. We also have a doctor on call to take care of any emergencies, should they arise. About Jyoti Chopra, Founder & Principal, Happyland Pre-School
