Friends Childcare

In the Inchworm classroom, babies focus on skills such as tummy time, rolling over, pulling to stand, balancing, and learning to crawl. Once children graduate to the Ladybug classroom, they focus on walking, learning to talk, sign language, manners, and listening. In addition to general childcare we look forward to giving your children a head start on their education by improving and building skills.

We offer many sensory based activities such as touching, squeezing, and poking various textures and mediums such as Play-Doh, or exploring with finger paint, sand, or water. Sensory activities provide students with a range of experiences and offer opportunities to explore their environment and observe their surroundings.

We believe in a balanced literacy approach and do this by integrating letters, words, and sounds into all of our large group, small group, and free choice activities. Our classrooms use a combination of child-initiated and teacher-initiated learning strategies. We believe that each child should be given materials and tools to foster their creativity and self-expression throughout the day.

Friends Childcare is a progressive and caring program that recognizes the uniqueness of each child. We believe introducing a variety of activities encourages young children to identify with their own special skills and interest and enjoy the process of learning a new activity.

With this in mind, over the years we have had a number of talented artist and activity professionals come in and teach yoga, soccer, etc. and we also had story tellers come in and tell their stories.They have all come and shared their interest with our children on a periodic basis. Current activities offered are listed below and all these activities are covered in the tuition you pay.
