Hearts In Hand Child Development Center

Hearts and Hand was a second home for my son (4) and daughter (21 mos.) from the time they were infants until we moved to New York a few months ago. I always recognized that this was a high-quality center led by caring, well-trained teachers, but I didn't realize what a truly special place it was until we moved. Hearts in Hand offers a fun, yet purposeful, curriculum for children of all ages - even infants! The investment made by each teacher to encourage my children to develop a love for learning and to thrive in their own unique ways is unparalleled. Fort Collins is fortunate to have such a resource for its families. Hearts in Hand - we miss you!

Our family has been blessed with having two children experience the love, care, and superior educational experience at Hearts in Hand. The staff is outstanding and dedicated to making each child's experience unique and special. Both my husband and I are in professions that require travel and having our children in a consistent, stable, and loving environment relieves a huge amount of stress for our schedules. Our children both started as infants at HIH and each year brings new suprises and affirmation about the experience they are receiving. Our son is currently enrolled in kindergarten at HIH and that has been nothing short of amazing and we know he will be more than ready to enter the public system with confidence and ease next year. Throughout the years the HIH staff have become friends and partners in the growth and development of our children.

I have two children that have attended Hearts in Hand since they were 11 weeks old. My daughter now in 2nd grade who loves to return for summer camp and my son now in the PreK room is getting all the preparation he needs to attend kindergarten. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and their dedication to age appropriate curiculum, as well as their nuturing manner and true care and love for children.

My son looks forward to playing with his friends every day and the staff treats him like he is their own. We are so fortunate to have found the best care in town.

Our son has been attending Hearts in Hand since he was 10 weeks old. He is now almost 4 years old and we feel so fortunate to have found this center. We love the staff and especially love the low turnover rate, fun curriculum for the kids, clean environment, and excellent communication. The early morning (6:30am) drop off availablity is also perfect for our family. Thanks, Hearts in Hand!

I have only positive things to say about Hearts in Hands. We moved from overseas two years ago and I was really concern about finding a good, community and family oriented place for my son. Every time I say to somebody where he goes to pre-K everybody tells me: "I heard very good things about that place". Is true, it is a great place. I highly recommend it. :)

When my husband and I had our son we were concerned about leaving our child during the day and hoped for a safe place. Hearts in Hand is definitely safe; they make a child's well-being their first priority. It's so much more than a safe place, though. We have been amazed by the things our son has learned since he began at Hearts in Hand. The staff teaches infants basic signs, they emphasize toys that educate as well as entertain, and they frequently have fun projects for the children to enjoy. Our son was exposed to numerous sensory experiences from a very young age. The structure of the rooms and the toys are also changed periodically to keep the children fresh. Our teach even moved items in the room farther from each other to help our child learn to walk more! When I drop my son off at school he can't wait to be with his teachers and friends. The people who work there love children and it shows. At Hearts in Hand he is truly loved and cared for.

My two children attend Hearts in Hand. In an industry where there is substantial turnover (usually) for teachers/providers, I have had a wonderful experience. My two children are 2 years and 4 months apart. On the first day for my second child to attend daycare, I handed that baby off to the SAME PEOPLE I had handed his brother to almost 2 1/2 years earlier. Hearts in Hand makes it possible for me to continue to work and know that my children are happy, engaged, and well cared for.

This school is the best. The teachers are committed to making sure the children succeed socially and academically. The children are always happy and the school is warm and inviting. The cook is dedicated to making sure the kids are eating healthy, which is a plus and hard to find at other places. The director and assistant director invites parents to help make decisions for the school. Many events are planned for the school, fundraisers, parties, etc. They have an excellent Pre-K and Kindergarten program. The teachers work on the basic subjects such as math, science, art, literacy, along with specials such as Music, Phy.Ed (Gymnastics, Rock Climbing, Soccer, etc.) I feel safe leaving my child at this school and know they are in good hands. There is low turn-over and quality teachers working at this school. Over-all I am very pleased with Hearts In Hand. I have and will recommend this school to others.

This center is incredible, very clean, organized and well run. The teachers are patient and kind which is very important to a child! The Director and Assistant Director are very professional, and thoughtful. They treat their employees very fairly which I believe helps keep the teacher turnover rate down. They respect parents, children and their employees. The cook is very committed to making good meals for the children and that helps keep them happy throughout the day! The environment the teachers create in their classrooms is a loving one and it shows! Artwork is displayed and the children are encouraged to be creative. Teachers take the time to work with each child to ensure that they are learning to the best of their ability. After viewing other infant rooms around town, this by far, has won my heart. It has a warm, happy feeling to it and the children are comfortable, the teachers enjoy what they do and it shows. The babies are well cared for and they are loved!
