Parent Reviews
We love Friendship Children’s Center! We have had 2 children there since the age of 4 months through pre-K. There is a warm, nurturing environment with a creative and fun curriculum. The fact that it is a small non profit community center creates a real sense of community, and we have developed close relationships with the other families in the school, which is really nice when you’re a parent of young children. The tuition is lower than comparable daycare/preschools but the quality of care is high. Would highly recommend!
We could not be happier with Friendship Children’s Center. Our daughter has had such a wonderful experience here, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found this community. From the beginning, FCC has felt like so much more than just a place we send our child during the day. It is a genuinely warm, caring, thoughtful environment where we know she is loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. She is excited to go to school, comes home happy, and has developed so much during her time there. What stands out most is how much the teachers and staff truly care about the children and their families. There is a real sense of community, and we have always felt that our daughter is known as an individual rather than simply being one of many kids in a classroom. Choosing childcare is one of those decisions that can feel enormously important as a parent, and Friendship Children’s Center has exceeded our expectations. We recommend FCC enthusiastically to other families and are incredibly grateful for everything they have meant to our daughter and our family.
We have had children enrolled at Friendship Children's Center for four years now, and it has truly been a second home for our family. The teachers provide such incredible, loving care, and you can see the thoughtfulness put into every aspect of their curriculum. Our two little alums who moved on from FCC are now thriving in elementary school, having been fully prepared for the transition by their fantastic teachers. Beyond the daily classroom experience, the wonderful events hosted throughout the school year bring parents together and foster a genuine sense of community. We are so grateful for the lasting impact this school has had on our children and our family, and we couldn't recommend it more highly!
