Circle of Friends Academy Child Care
At the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, our Circle of Friends Academy (COFA) childcare program offers a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment for children from infancy through school age.
Our Philosophy
Inclusion
We foster an inclusive environment where children of all abilities learn together, promoting understanding and acceptance of diversity.
Equality and Safety
We are committed to creating a space focused on learning and independence in a fair and safe environment.
Growth and Friendship
We encourage children to develop friendships, embrace their uniqueness, and recognize their shared humanity.
Our Programs
Our dedicated team of educators and caregivers nurture each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Infant Room
For infants aged 6 weeks up to 18 months old, our Infant Room provides a nurturing space where our littlest friends engage in activities that stimulate their senses and support motor skill development. Caregivers focus on helping babies reach key developmental milestones through interactive play and gentle guidance.
Toddler Room
Designed for children aged 1 to 3 years, our Toddler Room encourages exploration and discovery. Teachers create a flexible and engaging environment where toddlers learn through play, develop social skills, and build early peer relationships. Activities in our toddler room are tailored to foster independence and curiosity.
Pre-K Room
For children aged 3 to 5 years, our Pre-K Room prepares them for kindergarten success. The curriculum emphasizes social skills, problem-solving, and self-help abilities. Children engage in activities that enhance their cognitive, physical, and emotional development in a safe and nurturing environment.
Tuition
We offer a range of pricing options designed to accommodate the varying needs of our families. Rates are based on the level of care and resources required for each age group, with discounted rates available for families enrolling their children for multiple days per week. Additionally, financial assistance is available for the preschool/daycare program through our acceptance of Early Learning Resource Center (ELRC) funding.

Parent Testimonial
Colton’s mom, Tara
“As a parent, seeing how excited Colton is to go to Circle of Friends Academy each day reassures me that he’s in the right place. The way his teachers and therapists support him has made a world of difference, not just in his progress but in his happiness.”
Incredible Strides
Born with significant brain injuries due to a nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage, Colton’s journey with Schreiber began at just nine months old. Now, through the nurturing environment of our Circle of Friends Academy (COFA) and his dedicated therapy team, he’s making incredible strides in his development and forming lasting connections with his peers and teachers.
