1) Infant Care

A dedicated and loving staff provides consistent and personal attention to your infant. We accept infants from 6 weeks to 12 months on a full-time basis. Your babyâ€™s schedule is unique to his needs and so the daily routine is built around his feedings, sleeping, and playing habits. Music, books and a wide variety of toys allow opportunities for growth and learning. Personal attention during feedings and diaper changes develop strong bonds and a nurturing environment for your infant.

2) Toddler Program

Toddlers are children 12 months who are walking to 36 months at Friends. The toddlers are split into four age groups since so much change and growth takes place in the next 24 months of life. Each program is a play-based curriculum designed to meet each childâ€™s individual needs. The daily structure is interspersed with developmentally appropriate activities, both group and individual, that foster growth, learning, creativity and imagination. Classes follow a basic timeline structure with one nap following lunch. The children are introduced to numbers, shapes, and other basic skills that help to make sense of the world around them.

3) Pre -school

4) Pre- Kindergarten

Pre-K at Friends follows a strong daily routine of learning centers, language arts, math and science. The literature-based curriculum is bursting with fun, theme-based projects and educational activities. Cooking, painting and crafts help the Pre-K child exhibit her independence and maturity. Learning centers like science and sensory tables intrigue them and encourage them to explore. This class is preparing for the next step: Kindergarten! You will be amazed how your child matures and grows throughout the year.

5) Summer Camp

The Summer Camp Program allows children ages 6-10 to experience field trips, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities in a stimulating yet safe environment when school is out. Summer Camp attends swim lessons for 2 weeks at a local high school. They have a weekly field trip and soccer lessons twice a week for five weeks. Parents are provided with a monthly calendar to keep abreast of the busy schedule and plan their own summer accordingly. Parents are invited and encouraged to join us on any field trips. Summer Camp openings are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
