About Us

Happy Hearts Learning Center is a state approved preschool. It is co-owned and directed by Pam Noble and Ann Millard. Together they have more than 40 years of teaching and directing experience and have earned degrees in Early Childhood, Elementary Education, Reading, and Studio Arts. The staff is highly professional, motivated, dedicated and loving. There is a teacher and an assistant teacher in each classroom. Parental input and participation are warmly encouraged.

Our facility, on South County Trail, is easily accessible from Routes 95, 4 and 2.  Two buildings and two playgrounds provide plenty of space in which to learn and grow.  The Cottage, which is the smaller of the two buildings, is a historic schoolhouse that is classroom space for our three-year-old classes.  The Learning Center, which is the larger building, accommodates our two-year-old, four-year-old, and Kindergarten Enrichment classes.

In accordance with the Rhode Island Early Childhood Standards, we seek to encourage and develop the following:

• A positive self-concept within each child
• Socialization skills within a school environment, including the ability to function as part of a group of children
• Receptive and expressive language skills
• Fine and gross motor skills, leading to self-sufficiency and confidence
• Readiness skills to prepare children for their entrance to kindergarten
• A positive attitude toward school and enthusiasm for learning
• Family fun and involvement in the preschool experience
