Our Vision:
The meaning behind the name EleFriends speaks to our vision.
In nature, Elephants are creatures of community and taking care of each other. If one Ellie gets separated from its parents, the other adults watch the Ellie and treat them as their own until they are reunited with their family. This was the inspiration behind our Vision. We are a business, but we are a family first. We will care for your little Ellies as if they were our own, by creating a home away from home with support, love, and family.

Our Goal:
Our Goal at EleFriends is to encourage creativity, individuality, and independence. We have created an environment filled with love, patience, and kindness in hopes of nurturing young children into strong individuals who respect each other, as well as the earth, and their surroundings. Our number one priority is the care and love of your child. Secondly it is that we provide a well-rounded education that is fun, fresh, and exciting and will set the tone for their future in education at an early age.
