At Friends Together Nursery School, our goal is to provide a warm, creative, and nature-connected environment where children’s imaginations are nurtured, curiosity is celebrated, and their natural desire to learn and explore is enhanced every day.
Our programs encourage critical early learning skills: creative thinking, emotional regulation, communication, problem-solving, and cooperative play. Through a child-centered curriculum and a stimulating, safe atmosphere, children gain confidence, build relationships, and engage deeply in their learning journey—both indoors and out.
The Early Childhood Center
The Friends Together Early Childhood Center has been specially designed for our children younger than 3 years old. The entire Early Childhood Center is filled with furniture, toys and learning materials appropriate for our under-3 year old Friends. We have a dedicated Indoor Gym and Outdoor Playground with developmentally-appropriate toys and fixtures. The facility is always locked, and children are signed in and out of the program.
For Our Youngest Friends (Under Age 3)
The Friends Together Early Childhood Center is thoughtfully designed with our youngest learners in mind. Every space—from classrooms to our dedicated indoor gym and outdoor playground—is filled with developmentally-appropriate furniture, toys, and materials tailored to children under 3.
Safety is always a priority. The facility is secure, and children are signed in and out each day to ensure peace of mind for families.

Sparking a Love of Learning Through Nature & Play
Our Early Childhood Center fosters independence as children begin to separate from their parents and step into a world of discovery. Each day is filled with hands-on, play-based experiences that promote curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Whether building with blocks, painting at an easel, or listening to a story, children are active participants in their own learning.
A core part of our philosophy is the value of nature as a classroom. Weather permitting, outdoor time in our garden and natural play spaces is a daily priority. Our outdoor environment isn’t just for play—it’s a living part of the curriculum, supporting gross motor development, sensory exploration, and an appreciation for nature, animals, the world around them.
In this safe, loving environment, trusting relationships with peers and teachers flourish. Our program lays the foundation for social, emotional, and academic growth—preparing children not only for kindergarten, but for a lifelong love of learning.
