About Us Our school is founded upon the principles of learning through play. The program is designed to encourage curiosity, to provide opportunities for children to think creatively, and to allow children to make choices and decisions for themselves and be able to act freely upon those decisions within appropriate limits. Above all, our school provides an environment in which children are respected and encouraged to grow. The Friendship Children's Center has an open door policy that not only allows but encourages parents to visit their child or children as frequently as they wish. Parents are encouraged to become involved in the classroom and to participate in their children's educational experiences. The school maintains an equal opportunity child care policy. Applications for enrollment are accepted without regard to race, religion, color, sex, or national origin. Because the school is nestled in a community rich with young families, efforts are made to ensure that the school is serving those families living and working closest to us in the surrounding neighborhood. Our school is managed by a full-time Executive Director and a volunteer Board of Directors comprised mostly of parents of children of the school and including members of our local community who have experience in early childhood education and school development. The Board is responsible for conducting long-range and strategic planning, as well as financial management of the organization. Daily operations are managed by the Executive Director. New Board members are elected by current families of the school each September. Board meetings are held monthly and are open to all parents and employees. Parents are encouraged to submit ideas to the Board for consideration and to be actively involved in supporting our school.
