Hello and THANK YOU for visiting our website!  Did you know that Happy Times Preschool is one of the first, original preschools in Naperville?  Our school opened in 1968!  It has always been our dream to have our own school.  Since little girls, we would make our own classrooms in our childhood home and "teach" anyone or anything that would sit down and listen to us!  Our passion for the early childhood years led us to attend some of the best college programs and work in the best childcare centers dedicated to this field.   Year after year, we worked and learned from children: the best teachers! 

Happy Times is a family owned and operated private Preschool.  We are located on a beautiful, quiet neighborhood street.  Our backyard is nature at it's best.  Our school is small and perfect for families looking for smaller classroom sizes, small teacher to student ratios, small group and individual attention, and a school community that creates a forever love of learning and life long friendships.  Did we mention that our teachers are amazing?

It isn't about shiny and new. It is about friendships, discovery, trust, love of learning and growth.  It's about early childhood~

Stop in and see why we have been here since 1968.

What Families are saying about Happy Times!

"My daughter absolutely loves going here! This is her first year in preschool. 
The transition from being with mom and dad to being away from us was so easy
because of the environment at Happy Times."

"Preschools like this do not exist these days with all the chain schools popping up on every corner. Happy Times offers a unique traditional setting, with the latest curriculum and teaching methods. I am thrilled to be
sending my kids to this preschool."

"Happy Times is such a unique preschool. From the neighborhood it is nestled in to the small classroom sizes, it truly is such a great place to begin your child's first school experience. I love the individual attention my daughter gets from her teacher. It is such a warm, nurturing environment. She loves going here!"
