First Friends is a quality child
care learning center. A child care learning center is a place where a child can
learn at the same time they are receiving care. The quality at First Friends is
established and maintained through our friendly professional employees and our
constant family involvement.
We believe that children adjust
best to an atmosphere that gives them a sense of comfort and security. We care
for your child in a loving nurturing way by listening to their feelings and
respecting their differences. Our love for children shows in the way we respond
to their individual needs.
We believe that children learn
best when they are able to master one skill before moving on to the next at
their own pace. We teach children by providing an environment full of hands on
activities that will allow them to be totally involved and get the most out of
every activity. Children learn best when using all of their senses to get the
full experience. Providing age appropriate materials in our classroom learning
centers gives children the opportunity to explore and encourages them to let
their imagination and individuality shine through.
We believe in a developmentally
appropriate curriculum. Concentrating more on the process and less on the
finished product. We believe that children learn best through theme-based
teaching. This method keeps children excited about learning when using topics
that hold their interest.
We believe that the more we learn
as adults the more we can guide children through these all-important years. Our
employees are trained in first aid, CPR and most importantly child development.
We feel strongly that education is a life long process that begins the moment a
child is born.
We believe that children will
excel to the maximum of their ability with the support of their families. We
are a family oriented center and encourage family involvement. Our open door
policy allows parents and family members to visit at any time with a mutual
goal to bridge the gap between home and child care.
We believe in developing the whole
child in all areas of development including physical, emotional, social and
cognitive. First Friends encourages all children to learn, play and explore.
