We are a state-supported Education Center, partially funded by Sequoia Adult School to teach parents child growth and development, and related parenting topics. We have grown in many ways since beginning with a handful of families in 1975 and becoming incorporated in 1978. We now serve over 200 families throughout the peninsula each year. Philosophy and Goals Little Hands is committed to parent education and parent participation with the knowledge that parent involvement is key to a child's success. We believe each parent and child is unique, and accept each family as a unit, realizing different needs and abilities.
Children learn and develop in their own way.
They explain their individual development process to us by showing us what they are interested in learning. Pursuing their interests at their own pace and exploring their environment fully with all five senses is the best way for them to develop intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially. At Little Hands we emphasize the importance of self-esteem and self expression. Understanding yourself enhances the couple, as well as the parent-child relationship. It is our goal to help you understand and appreciate individual differences and to help you develop a parenting style appropriate for your family.
