ABOUT US
Good Friends, is a play-based program that promotes 3 to 4 year-olds' social-emotional development. We provide a safe, nurturing environment and use positive reinforcement and redirection to guide behaviors and foster learning. We encourage the kids to be 'good friends' by helping them develop social perspectives and social problem-solving skills. Our intent is to prepare them for success in school.
At Good Friends, the students are taught pre-literacy and academic content in both English and Spanish. Spanish language is incorporated throughout our daily activities and is reinforced through books, music and poems. We have found that children this age have a great capacity for language and learning a second language hones reasoning skills and problem solving abilities.
