Friendly House of Davenport Iowa

preschool & childcare scholarships

“My husband and I are hard-working taxpayers and we are fortunate enough to have a loving, healthy family and a roof over our heads.  With the economy the way it has been over the past few years, our income just hasn’t been the same.  We thought we couldn’t do it anymore.  I learned about Friendly House and what a blessing it has been.  Friendly House helped to assist us financially for daycare for our boys.  This has been a godsend, because it meant that our boys could remain in daycare and preschool at the good quality facility we have grown to love, with caregivers we have known for over five years now and have become a family to us.  The big picture is that our bucket spills over and helps build a stronger community.  The work Friendly House does is priceless and the long-term benefits are immeasurable.”          ~Angie, Childcare Scholarship Recipient
