What it reported doing in 2024

Hds is a developmental school for infants from six weeks old and young children to age 5 years. We design learning experiences to encourage physical, social-emotional, aesthetic, cognitive and spiritual development. We understand that all children come to our program with a unique set of skills they are trying to master. All of our activities are presented in an open-ended way to meet children intentionally at different skill levels. Our teachers are knowledgeable about developmental milestones and pay attention to each childs acquisition of new skills. In addition, as a ministry of a church, we integrate faith throughout a childs day.
