Friends Together Nursery School: A Legacy Rooted in Love, Learning, and Community
Founded in 1999 in Port Washington, NY, Friends Together Nursery School was born from the vision of Christie Mucci—a dedicated educator with a passion that extended far beyond the classroom.
A licensed teacher since 1970 with a master’s degree in childhood education, Mrs. Mucci believed in nurturing not just young minds, but whole children.
Her mission was to create a place where education and compassion go hand in hand, helping children grow into confident, capable individuals.
Christie Mucci’s legacy lives on, even after her passing in 2023. Her philosophy continues to guide our school each and every day.
She often said, “Here We Grow Again,” a simple yet powerful reminder of the ongoing journey of growth and discovery.
What began in 1999 with just two teachers—including Mrs. Mucci—and three students has grown into a vibrant learning community with deep roots in Port Washington.
Over the years, Friends Together has had the honor of serving generations of local families, proudly becoming a trusted part of their early childhood experience.
We are deeply committed to our community and are proud sponsors of PYA sports, PRC events, and other local initiatives.
As we continue to grow, we remain inspired by the foundation Christie Mucci laid—and the lives she touched along the way.
