Creativity in Action Starts Here!
A nurturing Jacksonville preschool for children from six weeks through VPK, offering hands-on learning, creative enrichment, outdoor exploration, and exceptional care.
Why Choose Little Friends?
Creativity in Action is more than our motto—it shapes the way children learn. Our whole-child approach combines purposeful academics, creative expression, physical activity, and social-emotional development.
At Little Friends Preschool, children grow through a well-rounded experience that blends purposeful academics, creativity, movement, and social-emotional learning. We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and generally follow the Duval County Public Schools calendar.
Little Strings
VPK students are introduced to violin or cello through hands-on instruction designed for young learners.
Karate
Our partnership with Tersak’s Family Martial Arts Academy helps children build coordination, confidence, focus, and respect.
Musical Theater
Children build confidence through singing, movement, storytelling, and age-appropriate performances.
Outdoor Learning
Our renovated garden and outdoor seating area provide a welcoming space for stories, nature exploration, and hands-on learning.
