About the Provider

Description: Little Friends School was established in 1981 and aims to promote child development in conjunction with academic learning. Little Friends recognizes each child's individuality providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum and striving to meet each child's needs, educational, social and emotional.

Learning through experience and discovery will be a large part of your child's day at Little Friends. Daily activities are designed to encourage and challenge each child's natural curiosity and instill skills that prepare children for later school success. Your child will develop a sense of self-confidence and enjoy enriching experiences along the way.

At Little Friends the strengths and needs of each child are continually assessed by teachers who are particularly adept at creating learning opportunities that best meet the child's individual needs.

Parents are a very important part of our school. We encourage you to participate in class parties, field trips and various other activities throughout the year. The staff at Little Friends wants you to always feel welcome to come in and observe the classes in session, because parental interest is fundamental to your child's learning process.

Little Friends has two locations in Mercerville and at the Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton, New Jersey. For specific information on each site or to schedule a visit please click on the locations button.

We look forward to offering your child an enriching preschoool experience.
