Schedule & Programs
Wee Friends has been a part of the community for over 37 years. Small classes allow for individual attention from our certified and highly experienced staff members. Our curriculum provides hands-on experiences that center on the development of the whole child – socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. Wee Friends is located in a charming historic building with a spacious and park-like playground. Specialists in the areas of music, library, gymnastics and yoga enhance the daily schedule. The “Wee Friends Feeling” that permeates the air is created by the bond that exists between our staff, our “Wee” friends and their families.
