Preschool Program
Friends Childcare has two preschool groups:
- Orange Group – Preschool (2.9–4 Years)
- Red Group – Pre-K (3.5–5 Years)
We believe in a balanced literacy approach and do this by integrating letters, words, and sounds into all of our large-group, small-group, and free-choice activities. Our classrooms use a combination of child-initiated and teacher-initiated learning strategies. We believe each child should be given materials and tools to foster their creativity and self-expression throughout the day.
Once children transition into our Pre-K group, we focus more on kindergarten readiness. In both classrooms, we strive to meet the needs of each child by providing a curriculum that is both stimulating and challenging for all learning levels and styles.

Readying Your Child for School
In the preschool classrooms at Friends Childcare, we strive to create a community where each child feels safe and respected. Our teachers foster creative abilities by enhancing the cognitive, social/emotional, and physical development of each child through numerous activities and studies.
