Our Mission

Friendship Children's Center, Inc. is a non-denominational, not-for-profit organization, providing a wide range of family and child support services to an economically and culturally diverse population in the Greater Rochester area.  Aware of the continuing changing needs of families, services are designed to strengthen and supplement family life through age-appropriate educational, emotional, social and physical experiences in a nurturing environment.  Highest quality of care is assured through access to community services, continued professional growth staff and the initiation of new experiences for children and families.​

Our Philosophy

Friendship Children's Center provides education to young children about themselves and the world around them while kindling their curiosity and strengthening their desire to learn.  This is done in a nurturing environment that recognizes both the value and uniqueness of each child and how they learn.

Learning begins with active interaction between the child and his or her environment.  In Friendship's program, this often takes the form of play, a natural behavior of children.  Friendship recognizes play-dynamic, creative and constructive activity - as one of the most profound means available to children for constructing and reconstructing, formulating and reformulating knowledge.
