Wurtsboro, NY
About Happy Place
Happy Place is a group family daycare in Wurtsboro, New York — a licensed, home-based program built around small groups, steady routines, and genuine relationships with the families we serve.
Our approach
Learning through play
Play is how young children make sense of the world. Days are built around exploration, stories, movement and creative work.
Social-emotional development
We name feelings out loud, practise taking turns, and help children work through the hard moments instead of rushing past them.
Age-appropriate activities
Activities are shaped around where each child actually is — from an infant's first grasp to a preschooler's early literacy.
Outdoor play
Time outside is part of the rhythm of the day, not an extra.
Rest and quiet time
A predictable stretch of calm every afternoon, with room for children who no longer nap.
Our space
A room set up for children
