Friends Child Care Center was founded in 1978 by employees of the American Friends Service Committee, the Yearly Meeting, and several other Quaker Organizations within Friends Center. Responding to its own success and the critical demand for child care in Center City Philadelphia, FCCC opened its doors to families outside of the Friends Center in 1980.
FCCC provides an enriching environment of love, security and community for children between the ages of 3 months and Kindergarten. Through age-appropriate experiences, our children learn respect for others, self-confidence and social skills. The children grow emotionally, physically, socially and cognitively.
The program at Friends Child Care Center is based on active learning: developmentally appropriate activities that facilitate and enhance social, emotional cognitive and large and small muscle development, by age and individual readiness in an environment that provides loving support and intellectual stimulation.
