What parents say

This day care has been great to our child and us. The price and reasonable and the care is exceptional. Kim, the director, is a solid leader and manager at First Friends. There is aost no turnover in the staff and they have a training program with the child care program at Worcester Technical HS. These students intern at First Friends and then become dedicated employees. I really like that they do this and it gives…

First Friends is fantastic! Both of my children attended from toddlers through their Preschool programs . They build such a nurturing community for the children. I couldn't image my kids going anywhere else!

We LOVED first friends!! My son went there ever since he was 5 months old! the infant rooms are great!! The teachers treat the babies just like they would their own babies! My son loved it there and we were so sad to change daycares when we had to move to Boston. I highly recommend this place. Make sure you get on the waitlist right away.

The women who work here are insanely rude. Not what I want my child to learn.
