The philosophy behind Small Hands Projects is deeply rooted in the Montessori method, emphasizing child-centered, hands-on learning that nurtures the holistic development of each child. Our approach recognizes the innate curiosity and potential in every child, particularly those from underserved communities, and seeks to create an environment where learning is both meaningful and joyful.
