Program: Hand-in-Hand Integrated Childcare Program

At Hand-in-Hand, we encourage discovery, creativity, development and exploration in a safe, secure, relationship-based environment. We believe that children should be allowed to gain confidence as they experience success, regardless of ability. To meet this objective, we stimulate each child to think, reason and problem solve. We strive to acknowledge each child's identity while instilling a sense of respect and appreciation for others.
