What we do

More than a preschool. Much more.

Our full story →

We believe every child deserves a high-quality start to their educational journey. Early childhood education is the cornerstone of lifelong learning and success.

— Charlene Sigman, M.S. Ed, CCC-SLP · Founder, School of Imagination & Happy Talkers

In 2001, Charlene launched Happy Talkers from her home in Pleasanton after families kept arriving asking the same three questions: Where do we go? What do we do? Who can help our child? Twenty-five years later, she's still answering them — at a much larger scale.
