Description: First Friends Learning Center is now enrolling for the Fall 2013/2014 school year.
First Friends operates Monday through Friday, 9:15 a.m.-2:45 p.m., for children 3 months to 4 years old. Parents may choose to enroll the days that best serve their needs, from one day to five days per week. Half day and drop in care will still be available. We provide a loving, christian environment with small classes to give your child the individual attention they deserve.
First Friends is a developmentally-appropriate program for children ages infant through four years. We believe that a child who is nurtured in a Christian atmosphere with gentleness, acceptance, and caring will develop a positive attitude and high self-esteem. We believe in educating the whole child; socially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and intellectually. First Friends provides developmentally-appropriate activities in a safe and nurturing environment. This program is located at First Presbyterian Church and is licensed by the Department of Human Services (DHS).
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Plan: From this isolated and rare circumstance, the Director has visited with all staff about blanket placement. It was made clear that holding the blanket over the ear is not within compliance and even for comfort or noise cancellation purposes the blanket should not be above shoulder level. Staff Safe Sleep Training scheduling in currently in progress. Safe Sleep requirements have already been met for licensing purposes.
