AT LITTLE HANDS, WE BELIEVE . . .
PLAY TIME IS A BIG DEAL
At Little Hands, we encourage your kids to exercise their imagination and their bodies! Our fenced outdoor playground offers an opportunity for children to play safely and freely with swings, playground equipment and playhouses to spur imaginative, active play. We also prepare planned activities and field trips available for every age group.
Young children are provided with frequent opportunities (weather permitting) for neighborhood walks in our safe and secure strollers on the Rail Trail, with indoor play stations in each room available for inspirational play and creative learning opportunities, no matter the age!
Nutrition PLAYS A BIG ROLE
Unlike many other facilities in the area, we serve a freshly cooked meal and water, juice or milk on a daily basis included in the tuition. We strive to provide a healthy, balanced lunch for each child and incorporate fruits and vegetables each day. We are committed to being a nut-free facility to ensure every child a safe environment, with or without allergies!
As part of our nutrition program, parents are encouraged to pack two daily snacks of choice for children to enjoy mid-morning and mid-afternoon. As part of our after school program, children age six and above may have the opportunity to learn how to cook, bake, and prep meals.
SAFETY IS A BIG PRIORITY
Our facility being safe and secure is our top priority. We use a keyless entry system, limiting building access to authorized staff members and families only. Each family has an individual code which allows parents to come and go freely and insures that direct employee assistance is required for guests and visitors.
We also pride ourselves on serving as a safe space for your children in the community, with welcoming and nurturing staff members that believe in encouraging our youth and fostering creativity in and out of the classroom. From inside our building and on the playground, to specialized activities and planned field trips, our staff makes the safety of your children their number one priority at all times and in every situation.
Words of KINDNESS STRETCH FAR + WIDE . . .

I honestly have to say this has been the most comforting daycare I have sent my son to. He was about 7-8 months when he started. I loved the staff and environment, always clean, neat and always sanitized. It was very comforting to know he was in great hands while I studied at New Paltz, very accommodating with my schedule and his needs. I loved the playground in the back! I wish we lived closer!

A CARING STAFF IS KEY . . .

Daycare Owner + Director Janene Fantini is available by phone Monday-Friday and happy to answer questions as they arise. Our mission is to maintain a loving environment and provide an educational curriculum that helps prepare each child for the next phase of life.
