Serving the heart of Orange County
Hands Together Preschool
Hands Together is NOW ACCEPTING applications to our Award Winning pre-school located at 201 E. Civic Center Drive just off Main Street in Santa Ana.
Children’s Literacy Center
At Hands Together we believe learning to read at an early age is crucial to a child’s academic development. In Orange County only 1 in 2 children are developmentally ready to enter Kindergarten.* The Children’s Literacy Center addresses this issue and provided a quality half day school readiness program for low income families in downtown Santa Ana.
Morning Garden
Hands Together recognizes the potential for success in all people including families experiencing transition from homelessness and poverty. Morning Garden is a special workforce development program for families with preschool aged children.
Get Involved
Financial support of our academic excellence and school readiness programs are a great investment in our community. The effect on this generation of children will be immediate; however the positive effect of this financial support will be seen for years to come.

The model used by Hands Together provides the early assistance many of our children, and their parents, need to be actively engaged students and families.
– Juanita Mitchell Doby, Vice President, Human Resources, Volvo Cars, North AmericaDuring my recent tour of Hands Together and the Pre-Kindergarten Literacy Center, I was inspired by the enthusiasm of the students and the program’s focus on literacy; these children are getting a big boost up the educational ladder. There is no better investment than building a sound foundation for our children. I applaud their invaluable efforts.
