A Note From Our Owner
I’m Julie Brown, owner of Best Friends Early Learning Center — and a mother of four. I understand how important it is to feel completely confident in the people caring for your child.
Behind every program at Best Friends is a caring team that builds real relationships with children and families. I work closely with our teachers every day to make sure each classroom feels safe, supportive, and personal — a place where children learn, grow, and truly belong.
I’m incredibly proud of the dedicated teachers and staff who treat every child as their own and help make Best Friends a place families can trust.

Swen pou Tibebe
Pwogram pou tibebe nou an ofri yon anviwònman ki an sekirite, plen lanmou, epi ki nourisan kote tibebe yo ka grandi, kreye lyen, epi devlope. Avèk ti gwosè klas yo, pwofesè ki reponn byen vit, ak kominikasyon chak jou atravè Brightwheel, paran yo rete konekte pandan tibebe yo ap jwi yon dezyèm kay cho. Tibebe yo benefisye de akolad, jwèt, ak ekspozisyon trileng byen bonè nan angle, panyòl, ak pòtigè, sa ki poze fondasyon pou yon devlopman ki an sante.
Swen pou Timoun piti
Timoun piti yo se eksploratè okipe, epi pwogram nou an bay estrikti ak ankourajman yo bezwen pou yo aprann epi grandi. Chak jou gen ladan l jwe pratik, mizik, atizay, tan deyò, ak woutin ki bati endepandans ak konfyans. Avèk salklas trileng ak pwofesè ki gen lisans, timoun piti yo devlope langaj, ladrès sosyal, ak kiryozite nan yon anviwònman ki an sekirite epi kaptivan.
Lekòl matènèl / Pre-K
Pwogram preskolè ak pre-K nou an prepare timoun yo pou jadendanfan ak apre atravè yon balans ant jwe, aprantisaj estriktire, ak eksplorasyon.
