Welcome from Principal

Welcome to Little Friends Preschool!

‍‍You will feel the energy as soon as you step onto our campus!

The daycare and preschool provide exceptional facilities for children from the ages of six weeks through four years and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK).

Through experiential, academic, and hands-on participation, the children are fully engaged throughout the school day. All activities are age-appropriate and are consistent with our philosophy that children learn best through directed play. We take the shaping and formation of our youngest citizens very seriously, and we try to communicate our joy in that task to the children.

Each day the children connect to the world with different resources, such as music, gardening, art, chapel, and physical education, to name a few. In our S.T.E.A.M. Lab (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), for example, they participate in science experiments, sensory tables, technology, reading, computer science, storytelling, creativity, and so much more! The multi-sensory curriculum helps them discover and embrace this home we call Earth.

Music is incorporated into all learning, as is art.  The gardening curriculum allows them to oh-so-happily dig in the dirt, while at the same time teaching them how things grow. We know physical fitness is essential to good health, and so is the teaching of fairness, loving-kindness, and the importance of being honest in all things.

Throughout the school year, parents are encouraged to participate in monthly activities. From Halloween in October and the Thanksgiving Fest in November to our Book Character Parade in May, we welcome parental involvement. Parents (and grandparents – please!) are always welcome to read aloud to the children during Library time. VPK children are allowed to check out books, too.

We take pride in our families and greatly value the community we have built. Our children come from all backgrounds, and we treasure the opportunity to help them grow, learn, and discover.  We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and hope that you will find Little Friends Preschool a warm family community.  We promise to support and care for your child, and we hope you will call Little Friends your school.
