About the School
- First Friends Daycare is a Home-Based Daycare.
- We choose to remain small and centered around the home because we value our tightly knit relationships with our children and our parents.
- We have two home-based sites within a short distance of one another.
- Both of our sites uphold all the values and beliefs that make First Friends a safe and loving environment.
- Each site is well staffed with workers who are dedicated and certified in all of the state requirements.
- Though the two sites may be ran in their own unique way, each site follows a similar schedule and curriculum.
- At First Friends Day Care, our focus is on a safe place for your children that is fully licensed and insured.
- We have a bilingual staff that is CPR/ First Aid Certified.
- Nutritious Home meals are provided.
