We proudly accept Department of Human Services (DHS) payments, making our high-quality childcare services accessible to families in need of financial assistance. We believe that every child should have access to quality education and care, regardless of financial circumstances. If you qualify for DHS support, our services are available to help ease your burden while ensuring your child receives the best care.

We offer a free literacy program twice a week for preschoolers, where they learn phonics and basic reading skills. Our experienced educators provide an engaging environment that helps children develop a strong foundation in literacy, preparing them for academic success in their early years. The program is designed to be fun and interactive, encouraging a love for reading from a young age.

Good nutrition is vital for a child’s growth and development, which is why we focus on providing healthy meals at Friendship Childcare Center. We offer breakfast, lunch, and three snacks daily, all of which are nutritious and free of junk food. Children are provided with milk, 100% juice, and water throughout the day to ensure they are hydrated and energized for learning and play.

For parents who need consistent, full-time childcare, our center is open Monday through Friday from 7:15 AM to 6 PM.

We are committed to making full-time care a seamless experience for parents and a rewarding one for children.

At Friendship Childcare Center, we believe in the power of structured learning to support a child’s intellectual growth. Our curriculum-based learning program introduces children to early concepts in math, literacy, and science through engaging, hands-on activities. Our curriculum helps children build critical thinking and problem-solving skills while developing a love for learning that prepares them for their academic journey.

Interacting with peers in a positive, guided environment is key to building strong social skills. Our Social Skills Development program encourages children to communicate, share, and work together through group activities and collaborative play. These interactions help children build self-esteem and learn important life skills that will serve them well in future social settings.

Physical activity is crucial for children’s physical and mental well-being. Our daily schedule includes a variety of physical activities, from outdoor play to structured group sports, designed to develop motor skills, coordination, and teamwork. Physical activities not only help children stay healthy but also encourage cooperation and problem-solving in a fun, active environment.

Our Art and Music Programs foster creativity and self-expression in children. Through hands-on art projects and interactive music sessions, children can explore their artistic talents while developing fine motor skills, creativity, and an appreciation for the arts. These programs encourage children to express themselves in new and exciting ways, building confidence along the way.

We prioritize your child’s safety at every level of our childcare services. Our center is equipped with secure entrances, surveillance cameras, and strict visitor policies to ensure a safe environment. Our staff is trained in first aid, CPR, and emergency response, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your child is protected while in our care.
