HANDS

Mission: To provide quality education and care for children in a safe, secure and nurturing environment that helps to promote their development and growth.

HANDS is a non-profit corporation that offers before and after school childcare in 14 of the elementary schools in Great Falls since 1993. HANDS is licensed with the State of Montana and is governed by a Board of Directors.

We are available to all students 5 years to 12 years old. Each center provides a safe place for the children to go before and after school without ever leaving the school building.

Snacks are provided after school. Many activities are offered throughout the afternoon. Inside and outside play, board games, science experiments, arts and crafts, reading and homework time, as well as free play with board games and assorted age appropriate toys.

At HANDS Childcare, we are dedicated to providing quality childcare and early childhood education programs to children from infancy to pre-K. We believe in nurturing children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development through a play-based curriculum that fosters their natural curiosity and creativity. Our center strives to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can flourish. Additionally, we offer childcare subsidies and initiatives for eligible families to ensure our services are accessible to all in the community.
