My name is Ms. Karen and 1 am the director at HFPS. I have been the director here for almost twelve years. My journey began as a nanny during my young adult years. This is what brought me to America. After a year here I met and married my husband of eighteen years. It was when we had children of our own that I began my career in early childhood education and began working in preschool settings. A choice that I once made for my own children, now feels like it was also the best path for me. Working at HFP School gives me such satisfaction and daily rewards. I have been a part of so many children’s lives: I have watched them grow and learn from infancy through graduation and beyond. Daily hugs and laughter are what motivate me. This school has truly become my home and all the children that have spent time here have helped me create so many wonderful memories! Each and every child deserves to be nurtured and cherished for the individuals that they are and the tremendous adults they will become. Hi my name is Ms. Kim and I am the proud mother of three wonderful children ages 12, 17 and *9. I have been happily married for 21 years and enjoy being with my family doing anything outdoors. I love the beach, boating and just spending quality time together as a family. I absolutely love my job at H FPS working with children and would not change it for anything. I have been working with children for the past eight years and I get great joy watching them learn and grow each and every day. I love walking into work and seeing their great big smiles and welcoming big hugs and listening to the playing and laughter going on all around us. In my eyes there is not a better way to spend your day; knowing you are making a difference in the lives of each of these sweet and adorable children. Hi, my name is Ms. Naseema. I’m a teacher, wife and mom to two wonderful sons. Teaching is my passion, especially early childhood education. I believe that the preschool age is the perfect age to impact a child’s life in a very positive way. Helping them to believe in themselves and growing them to achieve success is my joy. I graduated from University of Karachi with a bachelor in Science and Educaiton. I have more than tz years of teaching experience. I started my teaching career as a science teacher. When I moved to the U.S. in 1992 I got busy taking care of my family. For the past six years I have been working as an early childhood teacher and have enjoyed every second of it. Besides teaching I also enjoy traveling, gardening, reading, cooking and spending time with my family. My philosophy in education can be summed up through this quote from Socrates: “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” “Sharing, caring and working together, helping to make the world a better place.” My name is Ms. Erica and I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. I am an early childcare edu-cator and have been caring and molding the minds of young children for over 15 years. I have been with Happy Faces Prep school for over 3 years as the school age teacher. I Have three beautiful children of my own, two girls and one boy. I have always enjoyed being around young children. I have been trained in CPR / first aid, mind and movement, nutrition, child abuse, arts and crafts, health and social skills. Having children of my own inspired me to want to continue my future as an early childcare educator and I love seeing the faces of young children when they achieve a goal they set.

We’re not sure if you know this but Happy Faces has been a preschool at this location for over 30 years. About 13 years ago Ms. Jennifer and Mr. Dave Kruse bought the school and began a new era filling the school with the happy faces of young children, staff and parent’s that share our community. Since taking over, the two of them have completely made over the school both inside and out. They remodeled the interior by opening up spaces, bringing in bright colors and light as well as creating an amazing play area outside. This gives the children lots of room to run and play, including an age appropriate playground for each class. They also raised the bar by making Happy Faces an accredited gold seal school. Happy Faces truly is a happy place for your children to come and learn. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment so that your children feel safe as they learn. We hope that you will feel so good about our school that you will share your children with us from preschool through our aftercare program (K-5).
