Handicare, Inc.

Our mission is to provide a nurturing and inclusive experience for every child, embracing those with special needs.

Handicare consists of three programs: ~The childcare component of the program is for children from infancy to two years of age. The infant rooms follow each individual child's eating and napping schedule. Play times and stimulating interactions are provided to meet each child's developmental needs. Toddler classrooms follow a more structured routine and incorporate some group times into the daily schedule. Learning centers are made available to help teach children about themselves and their environment. ~Beginning at the age of three, children are introduced to a preschool curriculum. Handicare uses the Creative Curriculum and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports to guide our planning of developmentally appropriate lessons that focus on school readiness and social/emotional development. Learning centers are made available to help teach children about themselves and their environment and group times are incorporated into the schedule each day. ~Handicare offers a school complement program to children in kindergarten through third grade. Because these children are receiving their educational support through the public school system, our emphasis is on social and leisure activities. We provide care before and after school, on school conference days, during winter and spring breaks and during the summer.
