About the Provider
Hansell Child Care, established in 1962, provides life building experiences to infants, toddlers, and pre-school children, as well as safe day care services and a structured after school program.
The goal of the center is to make your child's first encounter with school a positive, enjoyable, and successful one. The entire staff strives to meet the physical, educational, social, and emotional growth of each child in a loving, friendly environment
One distinguishing factor about programs at Hansell Child Care is that children of different ages and abilities are provided with individualized education which is very important to us as a center that is licensed with the Department of Education. Having large classrooms means that groups learn and work at their own level and their own pace.
