Children’s Friend provides quality care and education to children six weeks to five years of age. Our goals are to foster a positive self-concept, develop social skills, promote language and physical development, encourage creative expression, and foster an awareness of and respect for various cultures and values. 

Experienced and degreed teachers lead each classroom. Bilingual staff are always available to help support children in our care and their families. A registered nurse provides support and answers health-related questions. 

Eligible families may use DHS child care vouchers. A nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack, approved by the Department of Education’s Child and Adult Care Food Program,*  are provided.
