Integrated child care

and preschool

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 in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We strive to acknowledge each child's identity while instilling a sense of respect and appreciation for others.

​

Each classroom offers a daily schedule with a balance between inside and outside play, active and quiet times, and

teacher led and self-initiated exploration.

 

Hand in Hand's integrated child care program is licensed by the State of Iowa and has earned a rating of 5 (of a

possible 5) on the Iowa Quality Rating System. We participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which ensures participants are served nutritious meals and snacks while in our child care program.
