Our Mission

Our mission at ABC Little Hands is to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment where children can thrive. We are dedicated to fostering emotional, social, and cognitive growth through a bilingual curriculum that celebrates diversity and prepares children for future success. By focusing on each child's unique journey, we aim to help them develop into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals, ready to take on the world.

Our Core Values

At ABC Little Hands, our core values are the foundation of our approach to childcare and education. These values shape our programs, interactions, and the overall experience we offer every child and family.

Compassionate Care

We believe in treating every child with kindness, patience, and respect. Our nurturing environment ensures that each child feels safe, valued, and loved, fostering their emotional well-being and building strong, trusting relationships.

Excellence in Education

We are committed to delivering high-quality early education through our bilingual curriculum. By integrating engaging, hands-on learning experiences, we inspire a love of learning and provide a strong academic foundation that prepares children for future success.

Cultural Appreciation

We celebrate the rich diversity of our community and the world. By introducing children to various cultures, traditions, and languages, we help them develop a deep appreciation for diversity, encouraging open-mindedness and respect for others.

Individualized Attention

We understand that every child is unique, with their own strengths, needs, and pace of development. Our low child-to-caregiver ratio allows us to tailor our approach, fostering personal growth and helping each child reach their full potential.

Hear From Families Who Trust Us with Their Little Ones.

Our 2-year-old has been at ABC Little Hands for over a year, and she absolutely loves it! Ximena and her team treat our daughter like family, providing exceptional care in a small, personalized setting. We love the personal attention she receives, the regular field trips, and the Spanish immersion program, which has boosted her language development. The daily photos Ximena sends reassure us that she’s happy and engaged in fun activities. In downtown, finding a place that feels safe and nurturing is rare, but ABC Little Hands offers exactly that. Highly recommend!
