Happy Corner Academy

Happy Corner Academy is a daycare in Clearwater, Florida. The center provides high-quality childcare and education for children ranging from one to five years old, including programs for toddlers, preschool, and VPK. The academy serves the local community by offering a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment designed to build a lifelong learning foundation.

Owned and operated by Denis and Vedrana Cajic since March 2016, the academy utilizes a play-based curriculum that has been successfully implemented for over thirty years. For children aged birth to three, the center employs the Beyond Cribs and Rattles® program, while preschool through pre-kindergarten students utilize Beyond Centers and Circle Time®. The daily schedule includes activities such as circle time, group discussions, sensory experiences, math and manipulatives, and character development. To support families, the academy provides a food program that includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and milk daily. The teaching staff is highly trained, with all members completing state-mandated coursework, ongoing professional education, and rigorous background checks through the FBI and the Department of Children and Families.

Located on Curtis Dr S, the academy is situated near South Belcher Road and is a short distance from Oak Grove Middle School. The facility is also a short drive from Allen Creek, Morningside Recreation Complex, and Allen's Creek Park.

The academy is recognized for its stability and commitment to excellence, maintaining the same dedicated team of teachers since its opening in 2016. This continuity, paired with small class sizes and low teacher-to-student ratios, allows for a personalized approach to each child's unique developmental needs.
