Hand In Hand Childhood Center Hand In Hand Early Childhood Center, Inc., established in 1995, is a non-profit organization! At Hand In Hand, we believe that children learn through play!

A play-centered approach to early education is the most effective way to teach young children skills and concepts. Each classroom environment is designed for the age and abilities of the children and is arranged with developmentally appropriate equipment and materials that offer hands-on activities and experiences that provide meaningful learning opportunities for young children. These activities are designed to promote the development of the whole child--socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and creatively. We believe that young children are intrinsically motivated to learn and that they learn best through experiences with concrete objects and activities. Each developmentally appropriate classroom environment enables children to use their natural curiosity to explore, investigate, experiment, and manipulate everything that comes within their reach. It is the learning “process,” and not the product, that is important. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make predictions, and develop problem solving skills. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum allows each child to progress at his/her individual rate of learning with vast opportunities for multi-level learning experiences that enable them to make choices, express themselves, and feel successful. When Are We Open? Our childcare center is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., 52 weeks a year and are closed only on the 8 major holidays - New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and Christmas.

💛 STAFF APPRECIATION POST 💛

Today, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to Susan Young!

Susan has been part of the Hand In Hand family since just a few months after we first opened our doors here in Harrisville, and we honestly cannot imagine the center without her! She has spent so much of her time with our toddlers and if you know toddlers, you know that is NO easy job!

With their endless energy, big personalities, and constant need to be on the move, Susan keeps right up with them all… and she does it with patience, love, and a whole lot of energy!

We are so thankful for the dedication, love, and care Susan has given to so many of our little ones over the past few years. 💛

Thank you, Susan, for everything you do for our children, families, and team. We appreciate you more than you know!

OPEN HOUSE today from 5-7:30. Come meet the staff and tour the new facility. We hope to see you there!
