The mission of First Friends is to provide a loving and enriching environment within which children receive spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual development through play! Our purpose is to help children achieve healthy development. Through continual prayer, teacher training and program evaluation, we strive to provide the most effective means of encouraging each child’s ongoing maturity. Our specific goals include: strengthening each child’s connection with God, self and others; and strengthening pre-academic, kindergarten readiness skills.
