About Happy Pine Early Learning

The years before Kindergarten provide a critical, yet often missed, opportunity. Many children begin elementary school without the specific skill set necessary to succeed in Kindergarten. According to current early childhood research, students who lack quality, academic Kindergarten preparation are more likely to struggle and remain behind throughout school.

Research also tells us that a child’s first and most important teacher is a parent or primary caregiver. No one knows your child better than you do. So, before your lessons are designed, we will ask you about your child’s interests and skill building needs. Happy Pine can help ensure your child has the foundational skills necessary for a smooth and successful school start.

Best practices from multiple preschool methods are implemented. You will find a curated mix of colorful, fun-to-open activities inside every box. Lessons are repeatable, projects involve natural materials, and packaging is reusable and recyclable. Most importantly, your child will be inspired by new ideas, thoughtful conversations and higher level thinking.

I am excited to present Happy Pine Early Learning. Please feel free to contact me with questions. I would love to hear from you.

With Joy,

Tina Brisnehan, M.Ed.
