About Small Friends On Nantucket in Nantucket, MA
We promote creative expression and foster an appreciation for the arts. We believe that early involvement with art, whether through painting and drawing or music and movement, allows many young children the opportunity to best express themselves. We also strive to model and promote sound health and safety practices, and facilitate physical development through the use of many types of indoor and outdoor equipment and a wide variety of activities. Our goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment that encourages children to explore their world and develop to their fullest potential.
