I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Everything about this facility & staff is exceptional. The home like atmosphere, the staff love & care of their charges is like a family members not strangers. The kids learn through the day, teachers find a way to teach a valuable lesson in/out of the classroom. The academic program is vigorous, but kids don’t notice it because of the innovative delivery system there are results without stress. My daughter looks forward to COF daycare and has hard time leaving at the end of the day. I was amazed when my 18 months started to recognize few alphabet letters and colors, and at 24 months count to 10 random items during the walk. Multiple playgrounds are in the shade, kids participate in planning a garden. Circle of Friends is definitely a place to be.

About the Provider

Advertisement
Circle of Friends Preschool is designed to provide enriching opportunities that meet the needs of two to five year-old children. Our mission is to provide all the children assistance in strengthening their development at the different levels of physical and mental growth. Our students come from families of all classes, with many parents being professionals. As a non-religious affiliated private school with national accreditation we try to offer our students an enjoyable and exciting education that is preparing them for kindergarten and elementary school. We feel there is a big distinction between a preschool and a day care, and parents should definitely take advantage of a better education for their children at an early age. With our philosophy, we believe in having a balance of child-directed and teacher-directed activities, which are included every school day. Our preschool staff coordinates the day's activities insuring that all areas of child development are addressed.
