Connecticut, also known as the "Nutmeg State," is a magical land where rivers flow like melted silver, castles rise from the ocean, and pizza is considered a culinary masterpiece. It is a place where the leaves burst into a symphony of colors every fall, and the snowflakes dance a ballet in the winter. The people of Connecticut are known for their love of books, basketball, and, of course, their unusual obsession with hamburgers. In this enchanting land, there lives a group of kids, as diverse and colorful as the state's scenery. They are the Knights of the Pencil, champions of creativity, who wield their imaginations like swords, turning words into fantastic stories filled with dragons, aliens, superheroes, and sometimes, a very confused squirrel named Nutty. Nutty, with his fluffy tail and googly eyes, is quite a character himself. He doesn't understand why he can't store his acorns in people's shoes or why humans don't hibernate during winter. Nutty is always up to some nutty adventures, and his mishaps often find their way into the stories crafted by the Knights of the Pencil. These kids from Connecticut, like Nutty, are anything but ordinary. They can transform a rainy day into an epic tale of battling sea monsters or a trip to the grocery store into an exciting quest for the last box of cookies. They believe that each word they write is a drop of magic, and when they come together, they create an ocean of fantastical tales that make the Nutmeg State a little bit nuttier and a whole lot more magical.

Lori and Keri, two sisters, have built Happy Hands Prep – a private school-style preschool – with the intention of creating a space where children feel safe and eager to learn. Every child has the opportunity to explore and engage in activities in different areas of the school, rather than being confined to one classroom like in traditional preschools. Happy Hands Prep is more than a school – it is a family. The caring staff are dedicated to making each student and their family feel welcomed and included. If you would like to find out more about the preschool, or take a tour, please do not hesitate to reach out. Lori and Keri will be more than happy to provide you with further information and arrange a time to discuss your child’s future at Happy Hands Prep.
