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

Additional Information:

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.
