Why Families Choose Friends Over Universal TK
- Faith: Christ-centered from day one; Universal TK legally cannot be.
- Full-Day Hours: Real full-day options plus extended care, versus TK’s 4-hour statutory maximum.
- Continuity: Start at age 2, 3, or 4 and continue straight through 8th grade with no re-applying.
- Smaller Ratios & Nurturing Environment: 6:1–8:1 here, versus up to 12:1 in a TK classroom.
- Developmental Fit: Warm and play-based, not rushed into an academic K–12 track before your child is ready.
