Wilmington
Friends was founded by Quakers in the City of Wilmington in 1748,
to serve "the children of the neighborhood"--whether those
children were black or white, male or female, Quaker or not, and
regardless of their families' financial resources. The Wilmington
Friends Preschool, founded in 2004, is a contemporary expression
of that historic commitment and of the continuing mission and identity
of Wilmington Friends as a private school with a public purpose.
The preschool is designed to offer a quality early childhood education
and child-care program to families of diverse racial, economic,
religious, and cultural backgrounds.
