Parent Testimonials
Helping hands is a wonderful place for children to learn, play, and be surrounded by loving staff. My son really enjoyed his 3 years at the centre and was sad to leave at the end of each day!
My daughter looks forward to "school" each morning to see her friends (the staff in toddler one). I highly recommend Helping Hands to anyone searching for a safe, caring environment in which to trust thier children.

"Children are the vision of what life holds in the future, with love, respect, tenderness and humour, they can accomplish anything!"
Jenn
Many, loving, experienced staff have been with us for years, many starting off as assistants, later obtaining their RECE certificate. Jenn, the site supervisor came to us fresh out of college and has worked her way up from Sr Pre RECE to Supervisor. This was the first site in Durham with a ROOFTOP playground and is still a favorite play area for all.
