Little Friends has been providing care for over 25 years.
Through those years, we have built a program based on the knowledge and experience we have obtained.
We believe that each child has the right to develop to his or her fullest potential, not only intellectually but, socially, emotionally, and physically as well.
At Little Friends, we strive to create an atmosphere that allows the "total child" to develop.
Our theory is that in order for a child to learn, he or she must be progressively challenged.
We design our activities with that in mind, starting with the simple challenges and then moving to those that are more complex.
Our activities are geared towards the individual needs, abilities and interests of each child.
We also aim for a high rate of success for each child so as to promote a positive outlook on the learning process.
