Phelps Family Grouping
Friends Forever has become a part of the Redbridge community having opened a Full Day. Family Grouping program that opened for our families in September of 2025 for families with children aged 0-4 years. This program is fully licensed, and subsidy is also available. This program runs from 7-6 pm Monday to Friday. Our Family Grouping program thrives on immersing ourselves in the culture and community of Redbridge and surrounding areas and we look forward to getting to know and learn alongside the children in our programs.
Meet our Supervisor!
My name is Kara. I have been employed with Friends Forever since 2022, and have been a Registered Early Childhood Educator since 2019. I have worked in the field of education since 2017. I worked in the Senior Preschool program for only a short time, and am more familiar with working in toddler programs. I am bilingual and love to practice my French with the French speaking children in my care. What makes me most passionate about the field of Early Childhood Education is that I am a part of a child’s growth and I get to see them achieve their goals. “The future of the world is in my classroom today”.
Meet our Administrator!
Hello, my name is Holly and I have been an educator with Friends Forever since 2014. Starting out as a program educator and moving into a supervisor role for 4 years. I moved into the role of administrator for our Northern sites in 2025, and I thoroughly enjoy being part of each of our programs across the different districts. I have always loved supporting Friends Forever as a pillar of our community for families. I believe we are a shining example of what quality childcare means and I am happy to be here to support our families and future families with any of their questions or needs.
Our Philosophy
As a team we understand that all learning is essential to the development and growth of the children. Our program operates using the How Does Learning Happen curriculum, teaching all children the importance of well being, expression, belonging and engagement. We thrive to provide a fun, safe and inclusive program for all children that need childcare in Redbridge and area.
What We Offer
Our Message
Our Family Grouping program offers a structured, child-led environment that aligns with the “How Does Learning Happen?” pedagogy. We view every child as competent, capable, and rich in potential. By fostering this perspective, we encourage children to become active members of their classroom community, ensuring a strong sense of well-being and engagement within a positive, knowledge-fueled environment.
