Learning Through Active Play: Happy HEADStart Playschool Nurtures Young Minds in Pampanga


They say that "Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn." And one of the most important things we can do as parents is to provide them with environments where that play can flourish. 

We can give them the space, the tools, and, perhaps most importantly, the freedom to explore, experiment, and discover the world around them. 
The Happy HEADStart Playschool offers a refreshing approach to early childhood education.




Established in May 2011, Happy HEADStart champions learning through play for children aged 14 months to 4 years, embracing the philosophy that children learn best by doing and discovering. 

Their progressive approach emphasizes hands-on experiences, fostering a love of learning and building essential skills for future success.

Happy HEADStart fosters a learning environment where children are empowered to explore and discover at their own pace. This nurtures a sense of adventure, builds self-confidence, and ignites intellectual curiosity. This is achieved through a diverse range of engaging experiences, including structured and unstructured play, community exploration, and targeted activities that enhance fundamental skills. 




By balancing spontaneous and structured activities, they ensure each child can reach their full potential.
Building on their successful partnerships with parents and toddlers, Happy HEADStart expanded to Clark Global City and Mexico, Pampanga, bringing the same high-quality programs families have come to appreciate.






Happy HEADStart offers a range of programs tailored to different age groups and developmental needs:

The program is divided into three levels (A-C) based on the child's enrollment month.
