About

At Happy House, we strive to create long-lasting, happy memories with children by making them feel safe, learn positive skills, interacting with other children, building confidence, and elevating their self-esteem. We believe that by providing a well-balanced program, your child can exceed inside the classroom – and beyond.

Private Donations & Fundraising Events

In spite of the fact that Happy House participates in a number of federal and state programs, we would not have sufficient funds to operate without the generosity of private donations from civic organizations, churches, and individuals. Many donations received are earmarked for our scholarship program that assists families who “fall through the cracks” for outside funding.
