Our Preschool Teachers:, Pegeen Hammer - Pegeen was introduced to the Montessori method of education when her youngest child attended a Montessori preschool. She was fascinated by the Montessori theories and methods and chose to embark on her own path to become a Montessori Early Childhood Educator. Pegeen received her diploma in Montessori Education at Western Montessori Teacher's College and went on to complete her certificate in Early Childhood Education. I strive to bring to my preschool class a rewarding, hands on learning environment where each child is treated as the wondrous individual that they are. As a Montessori teacher, it is my job to follow the children's special sensitive periods and present learning materials to aid in the accomplishment of independence, competence and confidence.

Testimonials:, When our daughter had to go to school we didn't specifically go looking for Montessori we just knew that good enough was not the standard that we wanted to set for our child. I had a horrible experience in public school so I wanted private; Dad had a great experience in public school so he felt differently. I conceded and we visited several public schools.

A little historyand Happy Days Playschool began operation in 1975. After moving several times, the school finally settled in 1989 at its current location on the grounds of Mundy Road Elementary School. Considerable time, energy, and funds have been spent over the years on such projects as the outside play structure, storage shed, landscaping and parking lot construction. These projects have improved our school's looks and function. A recent Government Grant has enabled us to renovate and improve the classroom interior. It is a bright, modern, welcoming classroom for the children.
