Hand In Hand

At Hand in Hand, we encourage discovery, creativity, development and exploration in a safe, secure, relationship-based environment. We believe that children should be allowed to gain confidence as they experience success, regardless of ability.

To meet this objective, we stimulate each child to think, reason, and problem solve in a welcoming and inclusive environment. We strive to acknowledge each child's identity while instilling a sense of respect and appreciation for others. Each classroom offers a daily schedule with a balance between inside and outside play, active and quiet times, and teacher led and self-initiated exploration. Hand in Hand uses Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum in each of our early leaning classrooms.

Hand in Hand's inclusive child care program is licensed by the State of Iowa and has earned a rating of 4 on the Iowa Quality Rating System. We participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which ensures participants are served nutritious meals and snacks while in our child care program.

Hand in Hand's inclusive childcare program is unique in the Quad Cities. Many childcare facilities can't accommodate every child's needs or adapt activities for different abilities, but that's exactly what we pride ourselves on!

We have four classrooms including an infant room, toddler room, three year old room, and a preschool classroom.
