HAPPY TRAILS PRESCHOOL
We provide a vibrant, modern environment where children thrive through social interaction, creativity, and joyful discovery.
Play
Through hands-on exploration and imaginative discovery, children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a safe, nurturing environment.
Through cooperative play and meaningful interaction, we help children build empathy, communication skills, and a lifelong love for learning together.
Social
Creativity
By encouraging open-ended exploration and creative expression, we help children develop confidence, resilience, and a unique perspective on the world around them.

Ms Tracey shows so much dedication to each child in her classroom. She really gets to know each of their individual personalities and meet them where they are at. My son flourished under her guidance and encouragement. I am so grateful for our experience at Happy Trails Preschool.

My daughter grew tremendously during her two years at Happy Trails Preschool, both academically and socially, and I'm so grateful for the strong foundation she received.

Parents' Stories
Kaylee Rutz
We couldn't be happier with our time at Happy Trails Preschool. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and care that Ms.Tracey brings to every child. Our son has grown so much since starting. He is more confident, independent, and excited to learn every day. The nurturing environment, thoughtful activities, and genuine attention to each child's development have made this such a special place for our family.
We're thrilled to be continuing this journey, and bringing our daughter to start this fall. Happy Trails truly feels like an extension of our family, and we're so grateful for everything she has done to make it feel this way.Â

Brynn Unger
We absolutely love Teacher Tracey at happy trails and couldn’t recommend her preschool more! Our oldest attended for two years, our middle child for three years, and now our youngest is starting, so we’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand the incredible impact she’s had on all three of our kids. She truly puts the children first, goes above and beyond every day, and creates such a loving, positive environment for them to learn and grow. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for our family!
Meet Ms Tracey
Ms. Tracey  has proudly owned and taught at Happy Trails Preschool for more than 20 years. She started the preschool as a way to support her family, build meaningful connections within the Canby community, and create the flexibility to be present for every important moment in her own children's lives.
​
As the mother of two grown children, Ms. Tracey understands how important it is for families to know their little ones are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. She treats every child who walks through her door as if they were her own; creating a classroom where children feel valued, encouraged, and excited to learn.
​
Over the years, one of Ms. Tracey's greatest joys has been getting to know so many wonderful families in the Canby community. She is grateful to have watched generations of children grow, learn, and thrive, and she looks forward to welcoming each new family to the Happy Trails Preschool community.
