Hand in Hand Preschool
Program: Building
Foundations for the Future
Our preschool program, Hand in Hand, focuses on early childhood development, with a strong emphasis on social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth. We understand the importance of these formative years, and our curriculum is designed to encourage curiosity, exploration and creativity. With a team of passionate and experienced educators, Hand in Hand ensures that your child is prepared for school and beyond.
Our program is play-based, meaning your child will engage in hands-on activities that promote learning through fun and exploration. From art projects to music, storytelling, and outdoor play, we foster a love for learning that will last a lifetime. Social skills like cooperation, problem-solving, and conflict resolution are also emphasized as children work and play together.
In addition to academic learning, we believe in the importance of emotional development. Our teachers help children understand their feelings, build empathy, and develop positive relationships with their peers and caregivers. By nurturing your child’s emotional well-being, we ensure they feel confident and ready to take on the challenges of the future.

and Development
Our School Age Care (SAC) program is designed to support children as they transition from preschool to elementary school and beyond. We understand that school-age children have unique needs, and our program provides a safe, supportive, and enriching environment that helps them grow socially, and emotionally.
The SAC program focuses on providing a balance between homework support, structured activities, and recreational play. We understand the importance of relaxation and fun after a busy school day, so our program incorporates physical activity, creative arts, and games that allow children to unwind, interact with their peers, and explore their interests.
Additionally, our SAC staff is dedicated to helping children develop skills that will serve them well as they continue their academic journey. From providing homework assistance to teaching responsibility and time management, our goal is to support your child’s learning and help them succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
