Explore our high-quality learning environments.
Classrooms are arranged in learning centers. During the day students have opportunities in art, music, Bible stories, literacy, science, and beginning math activities, along with free play times both inside and recess outside. Children attend Chapel each week and enjoy hearing Bible stories and singing songs together. Each month we learn a Bible verse using music and sign language to help us remember the verses. They also get to eat lunch at school while practicing social and self-help skills.
The Pink Room
The Pink room is our 2-year old preschool room. Mrs. Amanda and Ms. Andreina provide a fun-filled classroom that allows lots of time for exploration and social interactions.
The Yellow Room
The Yellow room is one of our 3-year old preschool rooms. Mrs. Abbie leads this class of 10 students. Using a blend of Christian curriculum and the Learning Without Tears curriculum, students have a nice balance of academic and social learning activities.
The Green Room
The Green Room is one of our 3-year old preschool rooms. Mrs. Samantha leads this class of 10 students. Students in this classroom are beginning to learn about letters and the sounds they make.
The Red Room
The Red room is our 4-year old preschool room. Mrs. Natalie and Mrs. Jaflet welcome 14 students to their classroom. Most of these students will be going on to Kindergarten next year so they are working on their letter writing, math skills, and polishing up their social skills.
The Blue Room
The Blue Room is our full time class for 3-5 year olds. This group of students is lead by Mrs. Neomi. She takes advantage of the full days to include additional learning opportunities while including time for student directed play and social skill practice. This class also uses the Learning Without Tears curriculum as a supplement to our Bible curriculum.
The Pre-K Room
The Pre-K class is a 5 day a week preschool class. Mrs. Kate and Mrs. Jill are amazing at leading their classroom of 16 students. Each day students are able to enjoy music, art, math, literacy activities, and use their social skills as they play with other students.
The Orange Room
The Orange Rom is our full time classroom for the 2 year olds. Mrs. Madi and Mrs. Jaida lead this classroom as they begin their educational journey. The students will be offered weekly Bible stories, music, early math, and science activities. This class is also working to develop social skills and self help skills.
Student Support
Student Support is a critical part of Little Friends. Students go through many stages of development as they grow. Mrs. Elizabeth and Mrs. Carey are here to help students that need a little extra support. Usually, this is done in the classroom with the child remaining with their regular teachers and friends. Occasionally, students will have time out of the classroom to work on specific skills to help them be successful within the classroom. Mrs. Elizabeth also coordinates any outside referrals or services that may be required.
Parent Involvement
We are thrilled that many of our parents are actively involved as volunteers at our preschool. We have several family functions during the year. We feel it is very important to have a strong connection between families and teachers. Each classroom has a Classroom Parent that helps to coordinate classroom and school-wide functions. Parents are welcome to help in the class with projects or take-home craft preparation. There are also school-wide family events that each class helps to organize. A couple of the favorites are the Sharing Day Feast and the Happy Birthday Jesus party.

The school that friends tell friends about
Over the past 20 years we have had the privilege of watching friendships spark here at Little Friends and continue even after high school graduation!
