Happy Days Preschool was recently awarded a "One-Star Step Up to Quality" status by the State of Ohio. Happy Days was awarded this status due to overall commitment to quality and excellence in early care and education. Small class size, teacher education and qualification, and commitment to Ohio's Early Learning Content Standards were among the many factors considered in awarding this recognition. Director, Elaine Rector, is excited and pleased that the program was recognized in this fashion. We offer congratulations to her, her staff, and supportive parents for their roles in earning this honor for Happy Days.
