About Circle of Friends Child Development Center in Fairfield

At Circle of Friends Child Development Center, we’re more than just a childcare facility; we’re a community that nurtures, guides, and celebrates each child’s unique journey. For over two decades, we’ve been proud to serve Fairfield families with a program that balances learning and play, structure and spontaneity, safety and exploration. Our team is passionate about what we do, and we’re committed to providing every child between the ages of birth to 5 years with the love, care, and guidance they need to thrive.

Our Philosophy

We believe that children flourish in an environment where they feel safe, valued, and free to explore the world around them. Our philosophy is rooted in the idea that learning happens best through hands-on experiences, meaningful relationships, and plenty of time to play. We value respect, curiosity, kindness, and personal growth, not just in our students, but in ourselves as educators. Every decision we make is guided by our deep commitment to children’s well-being and development.

Who We Are

We’re a close-knit team of educators, caregivers, and support staff who believe in the power of early childhood education.

Each member of our team brings experience, warmth, and a genuine love for working with children. We build strong connections with families and believe in open, honest communication to support your child’s growth. Together, we create a joyful, welcoming atmosphere where children and their families feel at home.

Affordable Tuition Through the State Preschool Program

At Circle of Friends, we believe all children deserve access to high-quality early education, regardless of their family’s financial situation. That’s why we’re proud to participate in two state-funded programs that help reduce or eliminate tuition costs for eligible families.

Through the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), we serve children ages 0 to 5, and through the California Department of Education (CDE), we offer no- to low-cost preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds under the California State Preschool Program (CSPP).These programs ensure your child receives the same nurturing care, enriching curriculum, and supportive environment as full-pay families, at little to no cost to you. Our team is here to guide you through the application and eligibility process so you can focus on your child’s growth and joy in learning.
