My daughter has been going her...

My daughter has been going here since she was one now she is almost three. The teachers are extremely nice. I love, love, LOVE her current teacher, Ms. Linda in the toddler room. She always tells me how my daughter's day went and if we need to work on things at home (like listening or sharing). She is even helping us potty train our little one :). My daughter's vocabulary and social skills have dramatically increased since going to Hand n Hand. She was always shy and hid behind mommy or daddy, now she will talk your ear off! I love that they have a curriculum that allows fun while also teaching the kids. I will be putting my second child in Hand n Hand once she turns one as well.

Hand n Hand is amazing. My son...

Hand n Hand is amazing. My son has been attending there since he turned 1, he is now 3. The staff is great & very friendly. As soon as my newborn is old enough to attend he will be at Hand n Hand! I would never take any of my kids to any others day care. I would recommend Hand n Hand to any of my friends & family!

I am absolutely in love with H...

I am absolutely in love with Hand 'N Hand. My son has been going there for a few months as part of their VPK program and he loves it. The staff is extremely nice and caring. They are also very patient with the children. My son is a lot to handle and he had issues adjusting to the new program. They talked to me and worked with me as soon as he got there and he has not had any problems since. He always talks about his teachers and his new friends at school. A family member recommended us to Hand 'N Hand and I would recommend them to everyone. Great program!

I have had the best experience...

I have had the best experience in this facility, My older son went to Pre-K in 2010 and now i have my younger one attending Pre-K,. I couldn't be happier as i had my youngest with me since he was born and never in a daycare center. From the owner Mrs. Pat to the teachers, they all made this transition so easy for my son and me as well. I was happy to see that they comforted him and gave him love and held him the first days when he was sad seeing mommy leave. Now he is so happy when i drop him off and he talks about his friends and his teacher all the time.

He is writing and coloring in the lines already, i am so happy i choose Hand and Hand for a great academic start for my kids.

Very knowledgeable group of teachers!

I had my son enrolled at Hand ...

I had my son enrolled at Hand n Hand Enrichment for almost a year. He started when he was 1 1/2. He had a great teacher, he bonded with her quick. Then he moved to the 2-3 year old room once he turned 2. We were told he was very smart and were asked if we worked with him at home since he knew his letters, numbers and shapes already. Then 5 months later all went down hill. I started getting phone calls to pick him up an hour after I dropped him off. My son was having "behavioural issues" which I can safely say was terrible twos and I'll explain why. He got kicked out of daycare to say the least and was also told that he was "terribly delayed developmentally" (5 months after being told that he was doing extremely well). I worried so much thinking that I messed up, maybe my son has ADD, ADHD, has a speech delay, (I didn't know who to compare him to). After 2 months of worrying, going through audiology tests, and finally getting a child development test, my mind was put to ease. The evaluator said that my son was advanced for his age (now 2 1/2). He knows how to put words together to form a sentence, he counts to 20, knows his ABC's, shapes, colors, etc.. answers questions and carry a conversation. So now I have to believe that this daycare could not handle my son's terrible two's so instead kicked him out and gave me a hard time on the way. I don't believe they put much training into their decision, "we're trained to spot when a child is not developing" and instead just scared the mess out us. So in closing if you have a hyper, "terrible two's" toddler, who doesn't like to sit still during story time or throws stuff, or had an accident biting another kid (which happens, my son got bit twice while at this daycare but their toddlers, they're still learning), I wouldn't recommend this daycare to you. I only gave it 2 stars because there are nice staff there, it's always clean and my son seemed to like it there, even if a few didn't seem to like him.

Overall
Danger To Children

I would not recommend this facility. My son was at this location for almost a year before we moved him to Primrose at Lee Vista. What prompted the move was another child in my sons (2yrs) old class had gotten a hold of a pair of scissors that a teacher had left unattended and this child practically cut the top of my sons finger off. Child Services was called in to investigate and a formal report was filed, however, no one was repremanded or fired. The school did make restitution for the medical expenses incurred. I would not send another child into this unsupervised "babysitting service".
