About Us

Since opening our doors in September 2025, Friendship Garden Preschool has been a nurturing and inspiring community where young learners can grow, explore, and thrive. As a licensed preschool under the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), we proudly uphold the highest standards for health, safety, and quality in early education.

At Friendship Garden, we believe that learning flourishes through play, curiosity, and connection. Our play-based program is thoughtfully designed to spark imagination, encourage discovery, and foster a lifelong love of learning. Every child is supported as they develop confidence, kindness, and wonder, skills that will guide them far beyond the classroom.

What makes us special is our exceptional team of educators. Most of our teachers are New York State certified, bringing both expertise and heartfelt dedication to every classroom. Our staff is trained in CPR and first aid and certified to recognize and respond to anaphylaxis with epinephrine (EpiPen), because your child’s safety and well-being are always our top priorities.

Rooted in empathy and guided by imagination, Friendship Garden Preschool is a place where children are seen, supported, and celebrated. We provide a warm environment where every child can bloom at their own pace, developing confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

We’re so grateful to be growing together with our wonderful families and community. 🌼
