Teaching Kids to love God with their minds, bodies, and spirits!
ABOUT
Our Mission: Teaching kids to love God with their minds, bodies, and spirits.
​
At Friendly, we focus on three areas while helping little people grow: Mind, Body, and Spirit. We follow a curriculum-based program that includes both structured and free play activities.
With our minds, we are learning throughout our entire day. From using FUNdations and learning our alphabet to flexing our STEM muscles, our minds are engaged within times of Discovery, Explore, and Play.
With our bodies, we are moving. Recreation times are a vital part of our daily schedule – either outdoors on the playground or indoors with games and organized play. Stretch N’ Grow and Tuesday Movement also help us engage our bodies.
With our spirits, we are learning to love Jesus and follow Him. Every morning we start our day with Bible songs, a lesson, an activity, and, of course, prayer.
