What Parents say about Forever Friends:
"Dropping off our infant for the first time was so nerve-wracking, but the team at Forever Friends made us feel safe and comfortable from day one. We’ve now sent all three of our kids here, and even when we could have moved our two oldest to UPK in our home district, we chose to keep them at Forever Friends because the love and care is just that special. The communication is amazing—we love the daily updates and knowing our kids are truly seen and understood. We’re especially grateful for how much they go above and beyond with sensory supports, OT collaboration, and helping each child learn and grow in their own way. More than a daycare, Forever Friends has become a real community that feels like family, where everyone looks out for each other and our kids are happy and thriving."
"Finding childcare is so daunting especially as a first time parent. Five years ago, I toured, I researched and I knew Forever Friends was THE place. It met all my criteria: great philosophy: ✅, cheerful environment ✅, loving and knowledgeable teachers ✅. I knew I was making the best choice from all my research, but as I dropped my first child off what I didn’t know was…
1. It wasn’t just my babies that Forever Friends would love over the next five years, but my entire family.
2. When my son came prematurely, they would make sure he received all the supports he needed to thrive when there.
3. That one day, when I picked up these babies as preschoolers they would yell “I’m not ready to leave yet, mommy” as they ran to give all their friends hugs.
4. We would become part of a loving community of teachers, families and friends.”
