What parents say
Little Friends child care is simply a truly fantastic place. Miss Verna and her team of caring staff members treat the kids like they are their own. The personalized level of attention can't be matched. No other daycare can compete with the kindness that occurs every day. Good values are instilled from a young age and programs are wonderful. Very highly recommended!!
