Handprints Child Care

Handprints Child Care is a warm, welcoming environment where children are nurtured, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Located in Topeka, Kansas, we specialize in providing high-quality child care services that prioritize the happiness and well-being of every child. Our experienced caregivers create a safe and engaging space where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers can explore, learn, and grow. Through age-appropriate activities, imaginative play, and structured routines, we foster emotional, social, and cognitive development. At Handprints, we believe that early childhood is a precious time, and we’re committed to making every moment meaningful for the children and families we serve.

Our approach is rooted in compassion, consistency, and communication. We understand that each child is unique, and we tailor our care to meet individual needs while promoting group interaction and cooperation. Our daily schedule includes creative arts, story time, outdoor play, and hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence. Parents are our partners, and we maintain open lines of communication to ensure they feel informed and supported. With a low child-to-caregiver ratio and a focus on safety, Handprints Child Care provides peace of mind and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

At Handprints, we’re more than a daycare—we’re a second home. Our mission is to create a nurturing space where children feel loved, respected, and inspired. We take pride in our role as caregivers and educators, helping children develop essential life skills while celebrating their individuality. Our team is passionate about early childhood education and dedicated to continuous improvement through training and collaboration. Whether it’s a child’s first steps or first words, we’re honored to be part of their journey. Handprints Child Care is where little hands leave big impressions—on our hearts and in the world.
