They are dedicated to the day to day operations of happy Corner Academy and are very involved with every family member that joins the center. They have two sons of their own. Older son Kristijan is in middle school and plays soccer for Clearwater Charges. Younger son Adrijan who is now in elementary school attended Happy Corner Academy since he was one year old.
Happy Corner Academy offers high-quality child care programs to the families of Clearwater, Florida and the surrounding communities. With the help of our staff members and faculty, we have crafted a curriculum that enables the children to learn and grow in a comfortable environment where they are encouraged to explore their different interests and potentials.
Here at Happy Corner Academy, we provide toddlers with opportunities to learn and explore. Toddlers are experiencing the world in exciting new ways as they begin walking, talking, exploring on their own and playing together. This is why our teachers carefully plan daily schedules with activities that focus on sensory and cognitive stimulation and development.
Between two-year-old and three-year-old age is when children will experience huge thinking, learning, social, and emotional changes that will help them to explore their new world, and make sense of it. Our focus is on providing a positive initial learning experience for each child in preparation for early success and school readiness.
Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Program is designed to prepare four-year-old's for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success and prepare them for Kindergarten. Your child will receive kindergarten readiness through fun play experiences and hands-on activities.
Our VPK curriculum supports the Florida School Readiness and Florida VPK standards, which mirror the National Association for the Education of Young Children's guidelines.Our VPK teachers hold the formal education credentials to teach VPK. Through facilitated play and structured activities our staff creates meaningful experiences and an enthusiasm for learning.

Love this school. Was looking for care for our child and wanted somewhere he would feel safe, he would learn, and he would be getting the same level of care as if we were watching over him. Each teacher and owner treats our child as if he is their own and I know they have that same level of respect for each child. The entire staff is very friendly and the level of communication is outstanding. I appreciate the daily log so we have a resource to reference our child's daily activities and meals. Everything is very well organized. Our child asks to go to daycare every day (even weekends). We also

Happy Corner Academy is your child's home away from home. A preschool where your child is provided love, security, structure, education, enjoyment, trust, and confidence. They are communicative daily with parents via a secured app and provide nutritional meals which are catered daily. My daughter looks forward and begs to go to school each day, even Saturday and Sunday. I wish more preschools provided what they do because all children deserve the best!

This place is beyond amazing! The staff is so nice, friendly and just great. I can not say enough good things about this daycare. As a stay at home mom, I was so scared to put my child in daycare. After touring the school and meeting the staff, I knew that this was the place I want my child to be. The curriculum, activities, and communication between the parents and staff is 5 star. You always know what your child is doing, eating, when they are changed. Everything is just great. And most importantly, it’s a safe and caring environment. The fact that my child is so happy every morning running

My two toddlers have been going here since they were 2 and have grown and learned a lot while being here. They are now going into kindergarten and I feel they are ready because they had a great learning experience at this daycare. The teachers are really nice and do a lot of fun activities for the kids. We will definitely miss this school.

As a contractor Flooring Inspector I was asked to perform an inspection on a failing floor the academy had installed. The inspection took place at the end of the day and children were still in session.
I have to say that I was very impressed with the Staff, the cleanliness and overall condition of the facility. The children were very happy and kept active. Although my children are adults, if there were young again I would absolutely enroll them in this fine organization.

My son has been with Happy Corner Academy for a little over a year. He loves his daycare and all the teachers. The daycare is family owned, all employees are very friendly and eager to help. There’s no employee turnover like at the other daycare that he used to go to. For this entire time not a single staff member has changed. The pricing is very reasonable for what they offer. They also use a phone application to communicate with parent, post pictures and daily schedule. I did a thorough research before transferring him from his previous daycare. Me and my husband are very happy with the choice

My daughter has been attending Happy Corner Academy for about a year now and this family owned business followed by their staff are phenomenal! My daughter can't wait to go to school after her weekends. I finally have a sense of relief when leaving to go to work because I know my child loves the staff as much as they care for the children who all attend. I feel much more at ease knowing my daughter comes home happy. It was truly difficult to find a place that suited her needs and I am grateful for Happy Corner. Highly recommended.

My daughter and I love this daycare! My 3 year old daughter tells me every day that she loves her teachers and they are her best friends. She even wants to go on the weekends!!! My daughter never been around other kids or in a learning environment before this, and my daughter has been with Happy Corner Academy for about 3 months and she counting, spelling her name and others in her class, she knows her ABC's and counts up to 25 (which she couldn't do before hand). We love it. I recommend this school to anyone they treat each child as an individual. They are very compassionate, caring to each of
