Handprints at Highlands Ranch

To prepare children for a life of Educational Experience: Handprints Early Education Centers seeks to provide children with a foundation for lifelong learning. Handprints’ Early Education encourages children to experience a variety of purposeful and open-ended classroom activities including dramatic play, music, art, books and media, science and curiosity builders, manipulatives, sensory, fine and large motor coordinators, and language developers. Children will be exposed to pre-reading, pre-writing, and pre-math skills and be introduced to phonemic awareness, a precursor to phonics.

To provide Spiritual Training: Spiritual training includes teaching young children to know and enjoy Jesus and experience the wonder of God our heavenly father. This is integrated into all other areas of training the physical, emotional, cognitive and social development of the child. Spiritual training is accomplished through the application of age appropriate teaching methods and activities for young children including praise and worship experiences, individual and corporate prayer times, Bible stories, scripture activities, natural occurrences in the classroom and on the playground.

To provide Nurture and Care to children in a Loving Christian Environment: We believe that each child has been created by God for a special purpose and has value and worth. Handprint’s takes seriously the responsibility of caring for young children. We will provide a safe, fun and challenging environment where children can grow and develop. It is our desire that the individuality of each child be respected and honored, the creativity of each child reinforced and stretched, and the confidence of each child encouraged and strengthened.
