Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


It is our desire to provide an environment that allows each child the freedom to explore and develop his or her individual potential in a caring Christian atmosphere of love and understanding.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This is a wonderful preschool with a loving, caring staff. They meet each child's needs where they are and bring them forward academically in a non -threatening enviornment.

Parent #2
Strengths are loving teachers, a safe environment, Christian teaching, and special events like Harvest party, mom's day, dad's day, chapels, and open house.

Parent #3
The school is a wonderful place where learning is through play and social interaction. The staff is loving and the children are happy to be there and go home happy and ready to be with their family again.

Parent #4
My child has grown so much at Arcadia Friends Preschool. Not only has she learned important academic information (letters, colors, numbers, etc.), she has learned how to be a friend to other children and how to act properly in a classroom. Which I believe is essential before entering Kindergarten. They have a very loving staff, and I feel confident in dropping my child off everyday.
