Learning

At Big Hearts Little Hands, the child comes first. We take pride in not only providing for their physical and emotional needs, but for their developmental needs as well. Our curriculum was created for its balance between both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning. It is our goal to help the children develop the passion for learning that they will carry with them throughout their life.  Big Hearts Little Hands uses a weekly theme based curriculum that is designed to foster social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development and to enhance learning in literacy, math, science, social studies, and the arts.  This allows the teachers to plan and implement a developmentally appropriate, content-rich program for children of all backgrounds and skill levels that is constantly matching the interests of the students. Please be sure to look for the weekly lesson plans hanging in the classrooms.

Communication

Providing an environment where children grow their confidence and learn to express themselves in a variety of situations.

Social and emotional

Encourage children to develop an attitude of kindness, cooperation, courtesy and helpfulness towards others while developing self-confidence and independence.

Physical

Helping children develop their coordination, control and movement through a variety of fine and gross motor activities.

Expressive arts

Enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials.

Literacy

Encouraging children to link sounds and letters and begin to read and write. Children are exposed to a wide range of reading materials to ignite their interest.

Mathematics

Helping children with their counting skills, understanding numbers and simple addition and subtraction problems.

Owner and Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout my son's entire stay here. He loved and looked forward to coming here everyday. Highly recommend to parents in the Powell area.

My son has been attending Big Hearts Little Hands for over 2 years and we are sending our newborn daughter in January. We have had a wonderful experience so far. We have recommended this center to friends looking for childcare. Our son has learned so many things from sign language to Spanish. He always impresses us with things he learns and does at school. We love the new app that was implemented when the new management took over. It allows us to see pictures and updates of what he is doing all day. We are glad we chose Big Hearts Little Hands!

My son has been enrolled at BHLH since he was 3 months old, and we have had nothing but a positive experience with the center! He’s 13 months old now and he lights up when he walks in every day, smiles at every person he sees and it’s clear how well loved and cared for he is by all the teachers and staff. I’ve also had nothing but exceptional communication from the directors and have seen some great improvements since the center was acquired by the early bird edu group, specifically in regards to communication, community involvement and technical advancements. I can honestly say this center is my son’s second home, and the staff there are his second family. We love BHLH!

In February I will have been working here for 3 years. Childcare is an incredibly challenging job but also incredibly rewarding. This has been a wonderful place to work. We have had (and do have) so many incredible teachers that I admire and respect. We all do our part to make sure these kids have the best possible daycare experience that we are able to provide. We care deeply about every child that comes in this building. We take our role’s seriously and understand that age 0-5 is the most formative time of a child’s life. We do not underestimate a child’s natural desire to learn. We stay up to date with our in service training, and we abide by ratios and licensing laws. We constantly find new ways to improve strive to be the best childcare center around. All in all I couldn’t name a better center to work at, or enroll your kids in.

We have had a great experience there with our 4 year old son!! Highly recommended 🙂

I joined Big Hearts in the beginning of February this year along with my son. Since being here, I’ve seen my son (now 15 months old) learn so much and show incredible improvements from where he was before. I also love knowing that my son is in good hands with an amazing staff that helps in every way possible and goes over and beyond. All the teachers are great educators and love what they do. The kids see us as teachers but also as a part of their family which is one of the best rewards of doing what we do.

BHLH has been a great experience for our family. Close to home and convenient hours. Friendly and accommodating staff. Our son loves to attend this school, fondly admires his teacher, and has had robust development since the start of his attendance. Looking forward to sending our daughter too.

We began looking for a new daycare center right before the pandemic hit. We visited Big Hearts Little Hands one month before the shutdown but knew we wanted to move our daughter there (and eventually have our son with whom I was pregnant at the time) once things opened back up. We have been there ever since. We love that they transported our daughter to and from school. It is far more reasonably priced than anything around. For our family, it is conveniently located. We will continue to send our children to Big Hearts Little Hands until our children no longer require daycare.

Works really well with scheduling for the kids ! The centers teacher and staff are all incredibly loving and treat your kids as if they were their own ! Love it here.

Our son has been at Big Hearts since he was 8 weeks old. He will be 4 soon. The teachers/directors have taken great care to get to know him and our whole family. He has grown so much in thanks to his wonderful teachers! I recommend Big Hearts Little Hands to anyone who asks for daycare suggestions regardless of where they live in the area.

Family-friendly child care center at an affordable price! Staff and management are engaged and invested in all families and it truly feels like we have become a part of a small community having children here! (both of my children's friend group is comprised MOSTLY of Big Hearts kiddos)

We visit weekly Big Hearts Little Hands Childcare Learning Center to teach Spanish to 5 different age groups. Our program is super fun and engaging to all the children and teachers. In the past 5 years + all I have seen is nothing but caring teachers who participate with their students and even reinforce what we are learning every week!! As a teacher/educator and a business owner all we do is our best each day.

My girls have attended BHLH for the last 6 years! It’s an amazing place with caring teachers, great opportunities, enriching activities, and wonderful memories!

Big Hearts Little Hands is the best! We moved down to Columbus from Akron this year. Thankfully, they made the transition for my son so seamless. He is flourishing there!

My children have gone to big hearts little hands for almost 3 years now and I am very happy with the services they have provided. My oldest has been going there since he was 3 and is more than prepared for kindergarten thanks to them. All the teachers my children have had have been amazing and I know they are all passionate about being educators. My children have adored all their teachers as a matter of fact it’s hard moving my daughter up every year bc she gets so attached to her teachers (she didn’t want to leave ms shawnas room and then moved up to ms shirleys room and then didn’t want to leave her). It’s a very hard thing being a full time working mom, big hearts little hands help relieve that guilt because I know my children are in an environment that they are loved, they are safe, and they are learning a lot. I know I picked the right child care because my kids look forward to going to school and love seeing all their teachers along with ms. Kaitie and ms. Tia.
