The Friendship Academy

Early Intervention Transition Program
Our Early Intervention Transition Program is designed to support young learners in Pre-K through 1st grade as they build the foundational social, emotional, and academic skills needed for long-term success. This full-day program (8:00 AM – 3:00 PM) provides a nurturing, structured environment tailored to children who benefit from extra guidance in executive functioning, emotional regulation, and social interactions.

With a focus on individualized support, small group instruction, and hands-on learning, we help children thrive during a critical stage of development.
