Mission Statement
“School for Friends is a preschool that provides a loving, caring, and supportive educational environment for children.”
We are committed to creating a diverse community of children and families. The curriculum reflects the Quaker values of cooperation, equality, and nonviolence.
The School encourages all aspects of a child's development — social, emotional, physical, and cognitive — in a setting that is safe, warm, and kind. The teachers help the children develop positive self-concepts and understand others from different cultural and economic backgrounds.
The program is committed to the inclusion of children with special needs.
