Our Approach
At Hand In Hand, we know that a child s social and educational development is best nurtured
through play, discovery, positive reinforcement and, in a special way, interaction with children
of all ages and abilities. ¥ All children from infants through preschoolers participate in our
thoughtfully-planned curriculum that balances free play, age-appropriate education and hands-on
creative activities such as music, cooking, arts & crafts, and dramatic play. To encourage
communication, all children learn sign language. And our cheerful, brightly-colored classrooms are
organized by age group to focus on themes of interest to infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
