Hand In Hand-Scottsdale

As a new mom, placing my child in daycare after maternity leave was beyond stressful to me and my husband. I am so thankful we found Hand & Hand. I can't speak to the other levels but for the babies (6 weeks to one year) room, we have been beyond satisfied and happy with the providers. The three women who watch our son are wonderful and having the cameras is also so nice for peace of mind (and also for grandma who watches him out of state). The women who watch our child seem to enjoy doing what they do and are good at it.

Not great at all. Food and maintenance are excellent and however they have very cranky teachers......very busy serving and disposing the waste kids do not get enough time to eat and if they want more the food is gone coz hurry to do the dishes,,, Every interaction with the kid is for name sake and every assignment is just to show off the parents.. Nothing is done in an intention to make the kins learn.... if they can find good teachers it will be one of the best schools... I agree with previous reviews Teacher Morale is stilllllllll consistently low....

Not a good experience. I signed my toddler up at this preschool very excited especially with the idea of the Internet viewing feature. After a few days my husband and I weren t very happy with the teacher and it gave us the impression that they were baby-sitting the kids instead of playing and teaching them. After 3 days of watching him, we decided that this preschool was not the best option for our son. I spoke with the principal about these issues and she told me that there is a 2-week cancellation policy. It didn t make any sense to me to have my son going for another 2 weeks when he and us were so unhappy. They didn't want to give us any refund for the days he didn't attend and they said they were going to call me back. I am still waiting for the call...

After having our children attend this school for years, we removed them and found a new place. They have gone downhill over the years and have gone from teaching just babysitting the kids. The place is run down and there never appears to be any plan to fix anything. Teacher morale seemed consistantly low.

My son Attended Hand In Hand from 7 weeks to age 5. I loved this school and believed in it. HOWEVER, we have entered public kindergarten and we found that he is going to repeat this grade due to not knowing his letters or numbers or sounds. I failed my son in believing in Hand In Hand!

My daughter has attended Hand in Hand for Pre-K and has had a lot of success. She receives individual attention as well as being socialized toward kindergarten.
