Parents & Families
At Friends, we value communication, cooperation, and collaboration with all parents and families. In addition to daily verbal communication, we also provide regular written notes and newsletters that keep you updated on your child’s activities. Parent-teacher conferences are held twice a year, but our teachers are available at any time to address any questions or concerns. We recognize families as being of primary importance in children’s development, and as such, we respect and welcome your input.
