Our Mission Statement
In an atmosphere of Christian nurturing, First Friends Christian Preschool of Friendship United Methodist Church commits itself to provide a quality early childhood education to the children and families of the congregation and surrounding communities.
Our program works in partnership with parents to meet the unique development of each child – socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually – through a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
First Friends commits itself to an inclusive ministry; serving children without regard to their race, language, ethnicity, gender, social, economic or religious background.
Early childhood education is an important part of a child’s growing years. At First Friends Christian Preschool, our goal is to help children develop at their own level, in their own way and to see themselves as unique and special creations of God.

Christian Approach
- First Friends is a Christian preschool.
- We strongly advocate and support the Christian values of caring, sharing, and loving.
- We promote a program that emphasizes strengthening the self-esteem of the child and his/her respect for fellow human beings.
- The Christian aspect of the program is visible daily with Bible stories, simple prayer and song. (Note the mural of Noah’s Ark on the wall of our classroom)
- Children are instructed that God created them, Jesus loves them, and they are important and unique because they are creatures of a loving God.
- Religious holidays are observed with explanations and celebrations.
If you require further information concerning the religious aspect of our preschool, feel free to discuss the subject with the director.
School Attendance Days
We will follow the same calendar for scheduled days off as the Valley View School District. If Valley View schools are closed for inclement weather, First Friends will also be closed.
