About me
Andrea Matute-Haegele
Child Psychology
Respectful Parenting Approach
Hi, I'm Andrea!
I hold a bachelor’s degree in child psychology, and I am a family support specialist. I’m passionate about early childhood education. My initiative to create “Happy Minds” was to provide tools to parents and caregivers with children from 0 months old to 3 years old, as you’re the first teachers in the children’s life.
Inside each box, you’ll find a world of hands-on activities, age-appropriate activities, and carefully curated materials that inspire exploration and discovery for young minds.
We’re based in Chicago and thank you for choosing us. Let’s embark on this exciting educational adventure together!
A bit of history:
Happy Minds began as an open-air community space where curious babies and energetic kids could explore and develop! We brought the joy of play through sensory activities, music, and movement to the park. We helped children develop gross and fine motor skills along with artistic expression. Happy Minds held separate groups for babies, toddlers, and 2-3 year olds, welcoming children of a range of ages and developmental stages. During lockdowns and school closures, our program provided a much-needed space for socialization and connection, ensuring happy minds continued to thrive.
