Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

At Circle of Friends preschool our GOAL is to help each child feel secure in a nurturing environment as an extension of the security of the home and family. Our well-trained Christian staff strives to provide the kind of affection, respect, personal concern, and care that reflects God’s love and a parent’s own love.

Preschool age children’s cognitive development varies greatly. We believe in exposing children to the various aspects of academics knowing that at some point, as their little brains develop and mature, everything eventually will come together.

We challenge each child to grow in these areas:

  • Academics

  • Cognitive Development

  • Listening & Communication

  • Creativity

  • Sharing & Listening

  • Fine Motor Skills

  • Problem Solving

  • Social & Emotional Development

  • Play & Gross Motor Skills

Circle of Friends Preschool is a non-profit (501c3) program governed by an elected board of directors. We have served preschool-age children and their families in the Vancouver area since 1995. We believe each child is a valuable and unique individual created in God’s image. Each child benefits from a consistent, respectful, safe, loving, and stimulating environment that encourages all aspects of development. We affirm each child’s worth and seek to nurture them as individuals.  (360) 696-9926
