Children are encouraged to interact with their peers, explore their environment, try out new ideas and develop communication skills.

I like doing arts and crafts with them, pretend play, dance, fun exercise and lots of outdoors activities! And I love bringing them for walks in the neighborhood.

Every child is different and unique, so I like to be flexible and allow children's interests and curiosities to guide how we spend our time. Days include free play, circle time that focuses on a topic of the week, related activities, outdoor play, lunch, snack, and rest time. I believe that kids learn through socialization and play, so I incorporate lots of opportunities for them to imagine, explore, and play! For example, I love sensory and exploratory activities like shaving cream and coloring. I also really enjoy legos and kinetic sand. Children and parents can expect a warm, clean environment at Little Hands Preschool. I am a mother myself, and my children will be here. I treat the children in my program as I would treat my own, providing them a caring, safe environment. I also practice open communication. I'm happy to share pictures and updates during the day.
