Helping Hands Preschool is a peanut-free zone and adheres to strict rules regarding food items when children in attendance have food allergies. You will be notified of prohibited foods prior to the beginning of the year. These may vary by class. These may also change at any time throughout the year if a new student who has allergies enrolls in our program.
" It's not so much what children learn through play, but what they won't learn if we don't give them the chance to play. Many functional skills like literacy and arithmetic can be learned either through play or through instruction-the issue is the amount of stress on the child. However, many coping skills like compassion, self-regulation, self-confidence, the habit of active engagement, and the motivation to learn and be literate cannot be instructed. They can only be learned through self-directed experience (i.e. play). "
