What matters to us at HMC Child Care is simple: Your child. We provide strong social and educational foundations that prepare your child for success in Kindergarten, elementary school, and beyond. At HMC we learn through play and activities that will help build fine and gross motor skills and most importantly teach strong interpersonal skills by building smiles in the child’s early stages. Language is key in children’s early stages and that is why HMC added Spanish and French to our curriculum. Our classrooms are designed to give children room to grow, room to share, and room to be themselves. Here, children work together, have constructive fun together, and discover how enjoyable learning can be.

We believe that children learn best when they feel safe and are able to actively explore the world around them. Through a balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities, we strive to enrich a child's social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development. We provide hands-on learning experiences through math, science, art and literacy activities in order to encourage children to become lifelong learners. We believe that in addition to being well-qualified early childhood educators, teachers should be trained and experienced in positive classroom management, to help children build problem solving and relationship skills. We know that quality early childhood and school-age programs value and actively promote a partnership with children's families. We encourage families to communicate with us regularly and stay updated on your child's daily classroom activities.
