Welcome to Heart 'n' Hand Early Learning Center. We are excited to love and nurture early learners and support the families we serve in the New River Valley in a quality family-centered childcare center that is family owned and operated. Heart 'n' Hand was established out of a passion to provide a small family-oriented, safe learning environment for children 6 weeks to 12 years. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience and excellent childcare that meets your child's needs and stimulates their learning and natural curiosity. Our hope is that you will view Heart 'n' Hand as an extension of your own family so that together we can help your child reach their individual goals and milestones.
Our Philosophy
Heart ‘n’ Hand Early Learning Center is rooted in the belief that we are a community of learners that partner together to provide children, parents, and staff a respectful patient and compassionate learning environment.
We believe:
- Children need to be treated with respect and feel safe, emphasizing the six pillars of character.
- Children receive multiple daily opportunities to support their learning and curiosity through play, decision-making, and social interaction as each child learns in their own way.
- Children should have the opportunity to learn from their peers.
- Every child and family has an equal value to our program.
- Our teachers are responsible for the well-being, safety, and learning of EVERY child supporting appropriate developmental milestones.
Our Mission
The mission of Heart ‘n’ Hand Early Learning Center is to provide high quality, developmentally appropriate care to children in their early learning years in a small, home like center while supporting and partnering with parents that as a learning community we can grow together to ensure future success and build upon those qualities that make us diverse and unique.
