Our Space
Our environment is designed to meet the needs of children as they grow and develop. Slides, blocks, books, balls, and more invite children to explore, while our outdoor space has both covered and uncovered areas for year-round use.
Welcome!
Helping Hands Family Daycare & Preschool was established in 1995. We provide care for children ages 6 weeks old through 5 years old, Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We welcome children of all abilities.
Being mostly family-operated, Helping Hands provides continuity of care, a secure bond, and a trusting relationship with families and children. We encourage children to thrive within their individual ages and stages of development, letting that be what leads the way in our daily interactions and the overall childcare environment. We accommodate breastfeeding and families using cloth diapers. We are listening as you express what you want for your child!
We invite you to join our intimate group in making memories and experiences that start and end with giggles.
Our Mission
Helping Hands is here to make your life easier with support when you need to be away from your precious little one. Through our education in Early Childhood Development and experience in meeting the needs of children with various abilities, Helping Hands uses the methodologies of the RIE and Reggio Emilio philosophies. We are dedicated to working with children and showing them respect by including them in the discussion and decisions of the day. We support growth and development through our environment, nutritional program, and physical interactions.

Not only does our little one love his time at Helping Hands, but we have learned so much from NaeVonne about how to communicate with our child and understand his developmental milestones.
