| Great Adventures In Learning.
Our Philosophy.
Take A Hike! |
At Happy Campers Academy (HCA), we
understand that a child’s mind is as wide open as the great
outdoors. That’s why we are committed to instilling in
children a love for learning that will continue throughout their
days at HCA, throughout their academic career—throughout their
great adventure called life.
We believe that children learn best when the education process
is active and student-centered, as opposed to passive and
teacher-centered. The HCA philosophy of education centers around
“discovery-based learning,” which encourages children to
learn by doing.
Each child will have a home base, like a homeroom, but in the
true spirit of camp, exploration is an essential element to each
school day. We make the most of a child’s natural energy by
operating a revolving classroom: moving from one educational
center to another at regular intervals, keeping each child
entertained, involved, and busy throughout the day.
Every day is a new adventure at Happy Campers Academy! |

The HCA Curriculum.
Helping Your Child Branch Out In The World.
|
 |
HCA’s progressive curriculum is carefully balanced with developmentally appropriate instruction and activities for infants, toddlers, two-year-olds, three-year-olds, preschool, and pre-kindergarten. Our facility has been completely remodeled in order to provide a sparkling clean, safe, home-like atmosphere that offers a wide range of activities and learning opportunities.
Science, math, art, music, reading, geography, drama, and computer are among the subjects your child will explore. Our Motor Room features puzzles, blocks, balls, and all types of games to help them develop large and small motor skills. HCA also features a brand new playground with state-of-the-art equipment—where your child can get some serious playtime. |

Internet Monitoring.
Watch Your Child Like A Hawk |
During the day, we know you’ll miss your little camper. That’s why HCA is proud to offer the latest innovation in child care: Internet monitoring.
Via a closed-circuit Internet connection, you can monitor your child at any time during the school day. Cameras are located throughout the facility to enable you to monitor your child in their home base, in the activity centers, on the playground—everywhere but the bathroom. Included as part of tuition, this service is restricted to parents and guardians of HCA students, who must use a personalized passcode to gain access. |

Teachers and Staff.
Blazing The Trail.
|
 |
The mission of the faculty and staff of HCA is to create the premier child-care facility in Tulsa. We are dedicated to providing each child a positive, enriching environment in which to grow and learn—emotionally, socially, and academically.
Every member of the HCA staff recognizes the honor and privilege of caring for your little camper. Without question, children are the most beautiful and valuable little creatures on the planet, and we will spare no effort in making them feel that way—every minute of every day.
In an effort to achieve our goals, teacher-student ratios at HCA are higher than those of the average day-care facility in Tulsa, and even higher than those recommended by the Department of Human Services. In addition to extensive experience and training in early childhood education, members of the staff have CPR certification.

Accreditation.
HCA is currently pursuing accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which requires a year of service before it can be granted.
The NAEYC is the nation’s largest and most influential organization of early childhood educators and others dedicated to improving the quality of programs for children from birth through third grade. Its curriculum goal is to encourage children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials, and to pursue their own interest in the context of life in the community and the world.
