Circle of Friends offers developmentally appropriate programs for three and four year olds. Each session is two hours and 40 minutes per day. We believe that children learn through play, and that play must be a significant component in a preschool program. Play is the means through which children can both learn about their world and demonstrate their understanding of it. As a team of early childhood specialists, we design activities which enable children to develop and trust their own abilities to interact with each other and with the materials.
Nothing is more central to our philosophy than building children's self-esteem.
It is only through children's own positive self-concept that they can develop a respect for others. To offer an appropriate early childhood education to all children. To promote respect for individual differences and to develop an appreciation for the diversity within our society. To foster children's sense of continuity and belonging. To enable all children to effectively communicate their ideas, desires and feelings.
