About Us
Welcome to
Messy Hands Happy Hearts
We are focused on providing the very best atmosphere for your little one. Safety is a primary concern as well as offering an engaging and entertaining learning environment.
​
Located outside of New Windsor, we provide some of the best local childcare services you will find. We pride ourselves with an extensive curriculum, plenty of play and learning opportunities and experienced staff.
​
At MHHH, we are endorsed by Caring Spaces, a local company with a three-tiered approach to measuring quality in infant and toddler's environments - from a daycare and quality perspective. We have gone through their training and technical assistance and are now considered an official Caring Space. For more information, ask one of our team members for an informational brochure.
​
New York sets standards, called the Quality Stars Standards, for family based learning and early development. At MHHH, we follow these standards to the letter, in order to offer the highest quality care for your little ones. For more information on these standards, click here.
