We could not have picked a better place for our daughter’s first formal daycare experience, Friends is everything we envisioned and more! Walking into the center you can feel the love, it’s truly a community! The center is clean, organized and well maintained. As a former early childhood educator, I instantly felt confident in our choice when we were able to visit with our child’s on her first day, I loved that she was able to transition slowly into the routine by adding more time daily for a week, by the end of the week she was waving goodbye and walking right into the classroom all by herself. As first time parents, we were terrified for this process, but Friends made it so easy. We are impressed more and more each week of their commitment to provide high quality, loving care to our kiddo. She wakes up each and every morning ready for school, to see her friends, her incredible teachers, and to participate in the wide plethora of developmentally supportive activities they provide. The crafts are our favorite keepsakes. I love that we are able to get glimpses into her day as they take great pictures and videos of activities and trips to the park. We would highly recommend Friends to parents looking for a safe and loving space for their child.
Our kids love Friends! The teachers are all very warm and caring and do a great job nurturing and helping them grow. My 3-year-old runs to play as soon as we arrive each morning and loves to give hugs to his teachers when he leaves for the day. My first grader still tells me how much fun she had and that she misses her teacher. Friends whole-heartedly welcomed my son’s early intervention specialist to work on his speech at the center and the teachers incorporated their suggestions in their daily communication with him. I truly believe this collaboration helped my son graduate from the program in less than one year. He also has many food allergies and each classroom teacher has taken steps to ensure his safety during meal and snack times while also including him at the table with the other kids. We always felt like he was well cared for and taken care of and never had to worry about him. We are so very happy that we chose Friends to care for our kids. Thank you for everything that you do!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with this daycare! Our toddler loves going each day and taking part in the enrichment activities. The weekly music sessions with the guitarist are always a highlight. The teachers are so caring and communicative, and we really appreciate the photo updates that let us see what our child is up to throughout the day. The fun crafts that come home are adorable keepsakes and show just how much creativity and engagement the kids enjoy. Most importantly, we always feel our child is safe, happy, and in great hands here. Highly recommend!
Friends is a wonderful daycare that feels like a home. We have had a great experience sending two kids there. The teachers greet our kids with a hug and "I love you" every morning and treat the children like their own. Our daughter runs right in without even looking back at us. The kids participate in various enrichment activities (music, sports, science) and frequently visit the many nearby playgrounds. We appreciate the relaxed (rather than corporate) vibe and the close-knit community. Highly recommend!
Our son (now 2y3m old) has been enrolled at Friends childcare since he was 5 months old. We have been SO incredibly grateful for their endless support and care of him. He is soooo happy to be there each and every day. The teachers have become second parents to him. The Directors are also wonderful and very communicative and responsive to any and all issues. When my son was only 5 months, they reached out to share some concerns about his gross motor skills, which led to us determining some delays he was having. As a result he had EI For over a year and has made amazing progress. They truly care about the whole child. They also have a wonderful community with great events every couple months, including performances. Lastly, their flexibility is amazing. As a teacher, they have been flexible to allow my son to move to part time in the summers when I Don't work. They have offered flexible schedules during our time here which has made all the differences for our family. Can't recommend them enough!!
