Arsenal Family & Children'S Center

Arsenal is an incredible school. The teacher to student ratios are kept small and the teachers are so amazing. My daughter got so much individual attention in terms of her development here. They provide developmental, vision, and hearing screenings for free and keep you updated on your child’s progress. I also love that as a parent you are welcome to observe from an observation deck at any time. Twice a year they provide you with a conference to discuss your child’s progress and needs which I found so helpful. From the moment we stepped foot into this school I knew it was a good one. You can just feel how much they care for the kids. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anyone and cannot wait to return next year!

As a parent, I can’t say enough good things about Arsenal Family and Children’s Center. This preschool truly stands out for its commitment to providing a supportive and enriching environment for children. The teachers at Arsenal are exceptional. Their wealth of experience and genuine care for each child create a nurturing atmosphere where kids can thrive. Whether it’s helping with emotional development or fostering social skills, they go above and beyond. Arsenal Family and Children’s Center is a gem. If you’re looking for a place where your child can learn, grow, and flourish, this is it!

Arsenal Family is truly a hidden gem of a preschool. The teachers and staff are attentive, kind, and patient. The class size was small, and there was no waitlist when we applied. They focus on building relationships and independence with the students, and seeing those skills in use is amazing!

We love Arsenal Family & Children's Center in Friendship, PA. Most importantly our son is in his 2nd year of attending AFCC and he has so much fun inside and outside. He loves his teachers and going to school every morning. We were so thrilled to have found this gem of a school and were welcomed instantly. The director, Melissa Hankins, is not only 110% dedicated to the school, she is also exceptionally kind, compassionate, and loving to us all everyday. Our son is getting a play based education that speaks for itself when he all of a sudden will count to 30, write his name, follow direction, clean up, and show kindness toward others at 3-5 years old. The teachers who have been there many years exude love for the children and the teaching techniques are all so subtle, far beyond our expectations. Our son will be well prepared for kindergarten and we have AFCC to thank! Best, Barbara

AFCC is truly a hidden gem!! My child has grown in so many ways by going to school at AFCC. The teachers and the staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, patient, engaging, caring/loving, and provide a great learning environment that is fun and safe for all children. I also love that AFCC is play based. I couldn't ask for a better school setting for my son. We highly recommend this center!
