We provide a balanced, developmentally appropriate and challenging program focusing on the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and development of each child. At Helping Hands, our goal is to help develop a positive self-esteem in each child.
Each child participates in outdoor activities for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. At Helping Hands we view the playground as an extension of the indoor classroom. On days where the weather does not permit, staff will implement a physical education program in the gymnasium attached to our centre.
