Friendship House Child
Care Center has been open since September 1974. It was established as an outreach of The Hatfield Church of
the Brethren, Hatfield, PA for children in the community. Pastor Gene Bucher created the
vision for this family oriented Christian based child care center. Its legacy is strong and we currently
have children whose parents attended the school when they were in Pre-school.
We are participants in the PA Keystone STARS program that is a four-star
Pennsylvania Pathway program, designed to assist schools in providing the
highest quality curriculum in early childhood education, the healthiest and
safest environments, and enhances the skill sets of each teacher and staff
member all in an effort to improve the development of children. We are currently progressing towards
STARS 2.
