What Parents are Saying...

We are so lucky to have found Little Friends. We love watching our son grow and flourish, taught by the amazing teachers and staff.  It is so obvious how much the teachers love what they do and love the children. We look forward to a few more years at this amazing school and will be sad to leave for elementary school, but we know our son will be prepared after the years he will have spent at Little Friends

Nursery, Preschool & VPK Classrooms

Besides all the programs that make Little Friends Preschool unique, students receive an age-appropriate education in the core academic subjects.  This includes the foundations for phonics, science experiments, and basic math like shape identification and addition.

Infant Daycare

Age 6 Weeks to 1 Year
Oh, that first smile! So much is going on! From eye contact, responding to their name, and pointing at pictures, toddlers between six weeks and twelve months are in a pivotal time of growth.

Pre-Toddler Daycare

Age 1 to 2 Years
Can you believe they are one already? Pre-Toddlers enjoy group play, expressing their feelings, toys, and painting with their fingers!

Toddler Daycare

Age 2 to 3 Years
The fun days of potty training! Your special two-year-old is starting to drink from a cup, recognizing their name written, and even starting to follow directions.

Preschool

Age 3 to 4 Years
Preschool is such a great age for learning and developing. Social and emotional development is fully engaged, and an appreciation for literature is just starting.

VPK

Age 4 and Up
Voluntary Prekindergarten is an excellent time to get ready for "big" school. Little Friends Preschool will help make the transition to kindergarten a breeze.

Summer Adventure Program

6 Weeks to Age 4
Learning continues at Little Friends Preschool with adventures indoors and outside, excitement in ways that are new and different from the regular school year.
