Little Friends Child Care & Kindergarten
About the School
- Little Friends has been providing care for over 25 years.
- Through those years, we have built a program based on the knowledge and experience we have obtained.
- We believe that each child has the right to develop to his or her fullest potential, not only intellectually but, socially, emotionally, and physically as well.
- At Little Friends, we strive to create an atmosphere that allows the "total child" to develop.
- Our theory is that in order for a child to learn, he or she must be progressively challenged.
- We design our activities with that in mind, starting with the simple challenges and then moving to those that are more complex.
- Our activities are geared towards the individual needs, abilities and interests of each child.
- We also aim for a high rate of success for each child so as to promote a positive outlook on the learning process.
