About Us
Hands Up! is a program for 6-weeks - 4 year olds that incorporates hands-on learning and encourages critical thinking and conflict resolution skills.
Mission
Partnering with parents for a lifetime of learning.
History
Hands Up! Preschool opened as a Kindergarten-Readiness Pre-School program in the Fall of 2012. As an independent non-profit preschool, we educate the under-served population and are modeled after Perea Preschool in Memphis. We offer a 2-year preschool program that uses the High Scope Curriculum, which incorporates active, hands on learning, critical thinking, conflict resolution skills in a positive, choice-based environment.
Today, we have grown to serve over countless students – partnering with their families to prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.
