Our
mission at Hand in Hand is to provide quality child care for
children of all abilities. We are committed to being a family
focused, community based child care center.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is
to view children first as children. We recognize your child is
a unique individual with a special set of interests, needs and
abilities. Our program is designed to promote your child's
emotional, social, intellectual and physical development. We
encourage your child to be an active learner - to explore and move
about freely in our child friendly environment. Our program
involves self paced learning. The teachers prepare weekly
lesson plans based on our theme of the week. The plans offer a
variety of activities and experiences, some available concurrently,
allowing the children to select their own activities. This
opportunity to choose and make decisions encourages children to
develop a positive and healthy self image and provides a foundation
for positive self-esteem.
Our Program
We are licensed for 144 children ages 6
weeks through 12 years. Our hours of operation are Monday
through Friday from 5:30am until 6:00pm. We are licensed by
the State of Wisconsin. Hand in Hand is based on the concept
of "full inclusion", in which typically developing children are
groups with children with special needs. Our inclusive
environment gives children the opportunity to learn and accept
differences among individuals.
