The
Blue Room
(School Age Program)
The Blue Room is our very busy school-age room. We
have children ages 5 to 12 years of age in this room. During the school year the
children can come to Happy Time between the hours of 6:00 am and 8:00 am. We
make sure they eat a healthy breakfast before we take them to their schools on
the Benton County Transportation Bus. This is very convenient for our parents.
We also have an after school program. Again, we pick up the kids from school so
the parents don’t have to worry about their child walking home to an empty
house! Everyone is safe and well supervised.
One more convenience Happy Time offers School-age
parents is that we are always open. We’re open for early outs, late starts,
snow days, teacher work days and vacations. We even go directly to the school to
pick up your child if the school closes for bad weather. You never have to worry
about a back-up emergency plan because we’ll be there!
During the summer we offer a full day, five day a
week program. During the summer we spend three days/week swimming, two
days/month at the library and at least two days per month going on field trips.
Our school age children are never bored! Also, when they have some extra time,
we plant gardens, play Nintendo, work on art projects and read books. There’s
something for everyone.
