About Us

In 2020, two passionate and visionary mothers came together with a shared dream—to create a place where children could learn, grow, and flourish in a safe, nurturing environment. With unwavering dedication to quality education and compassionate care, they founded Happy Place Academy, a daycare that quickly became a beloved sanctuary for families in the community. Their commitment to fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning made a lasting impact on the lives of many young children.

Inspired by their journey and driven by a profound dedication to inclusivity, they have now embarked on an even greater mission—establishing Unique Explorers Academy, a specialized school designed to meet the needs of children with special needs. Understanding that every child is unique and deserves individualized support, they are committed to creating a learning environment where children are empowered, encouraged, and given the tools to thrive.

At Unique Explorers Academy, expert guidance, innovative teaching strategies, and a compassionate approach come together to create a space where children feel valued and confident in their abilities. Through personalized attention and a focus on emotional, social, and academic growth, they aim to unlock the potential within every child.

These two visionary mothers have turned their passion into a lifelong mission—ensuring that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the opportunity to succeed, shine, and reach their full potential.
