About Happy Home

Happy Home About

Hello! My name is Alicia, and welcome to Happy Home!

I have provided in-home childcare for more than 15 years, beginning as a childcare assistant before eventually opening my own in-home daycare. I am passionate about helping children learn, grow, and build confidence through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences.

At Happy Home, we spend as much time learning outdoors as possible, giving children opportunities to explore nature, stay active, and discover the world around them. We also offer a dedicated indoor classroom where children participate in engaging preschool lessons and developmentally appropriate activities.

Below, you can learn more about our curriculum, our approach to childcare, and what makes Happy Home a trusted choice for in-home childcare in the Spokane area.

 

A Happy Place to Learn, Play, and Grow

Happy Home is a licensed in-home childcare program serving families in Northwest Spokane, Washington. We provide dependable, nurturing care in a comfortable home environment where children can feel safe, build friendships and enjoy being themselves.

Choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions a family makes. At Happy Home, our goal is to give parents confidence that their children are spending their days in a caring environment filled with play, learning, encouragement and meaningful experiences.

We care for children from infancy through school age, allowing children at different stages of development to learn from one another and form lasting connections.

Childcare That Feels Like Home

Happy Home offers an alternative to a large daycare center. Our home-based environment gives children a familiar, welcoming place where they can receive personal attention while becoming part of a close-knit childcare community.

We work to create predictable routines while leaving plenty of room for creativity, exploration and spontaneous fun. Children have opportunities to play independently, participate in group activities, spend time outdoors and develop important social and emotional skills.

Every child has a unique personality, learning style and pace of development. We encourage children to try new things, express themselves and grow more confident through age-appropriate experiences.

Learning Through Everyday Play

Children learn best when they are actively involved, curious and having fun. Our days include a variety of hands-on activities designed to support early learning and healthy development.

Activities at Happy Home may include:

  • Arts, crafts and creative projects
  • Simple science and discovery activities
  • Fine-motor activities such as gluing, squeezing, building and drawing
  • Imaginative and open-ended play
  • Music, movement and group activities
  • Outdoor play and neighborhood walks
  • Seasonal projects and holiday traditions
  • Park visits, field trips and special outings
  • Screen-free activities
  • Birthday and milestone celebrations

These experiences help children practice problem-solving, communication, creativity, coordination, and cooperation without making their day feel overly structured or academic.

Toddler, Preschool, and School-Age Childcare

Happy Home provides childcare for toddlers through school-aged children in Spokane.

Toddler Childcare

Toddlers are constantly moving, discovering, and developing new skills. Our in-home toddler care provides opportunities for active play, language development, creativity, and growing independence.

Preschool-Age Care

Preschool-age children are encouraged to ask questions, use their imaginations, and practice the skills that help prepare them for school. Art, science, outdoor exploration, and hands-on play make learning enjoyable and meaningful.

School-Age Childcare

School-aged children benefit from having a comfortable place to relax, play, and connect with friends outside of school. During school breaks and summer vacation, we provide activities, outings, and special experiences that keep children engaged.

Outdoor Play, Outings, and New Experiences

Fresh air and movement are an important part of childhood. Whenever conditions allow, children have opportunities to play outside, take walks, visit parks, and participate in seasonal activities.

Our outings and field trips give children a chance to experience the Spokane community, explore new surroundings, and create special memories with their friends. From park days and summer activities to walks for a special treat, we believe everyday adventures can become meaningful childhood experiences.

A Focus on Safety and Peace of Mind

The safety and well-being of every child are central to the care we provide. Happy Home is a licensed family childcare home, and our program includes CPR- and first-aid-certified care.

We understand how important communication is to parents. Our Facebook page provides families with a glimpse into life at Happy Home, including activities, celebrations, projects, and everyday moments from our childcare program.

By sharing these experiences, we help parents feel connected to what their children are learning and enjoying throughout the day.

Celebrating Childhood

Childhood is filled with moments worth celebrating. At Happy Home, birthdays, half-birthdays, holidays, the last day of school, and the beginning of summer are opportunities to help children feel recognized and included.

We enjoy creating traditions and experiences that children can look forward to. Whether we are completing a seasonal art project, holding a pajama day, playing outside or celebrating a milestone, our goal is to make each child’s time at Happy Home feel special.

Why Spokane Families Choose In-Home Daycare

Many families choose in-home childcare because they want a smaller, more personal environment for their children. A home daycare can provide the familiarity of a home setting while still offering routines, group activities, learning opportunities, and friendships.

  • Licensed in-home childcare in Spokane
  • A warm, comfortable daycare environment
  • Care for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children
