  • Horrible Daycare !!! They don’t have routines or a schedule! Teachers yelling ! Have favoritism! Was recommended by a family friend who took her kid here pulled them out the same day. They wasn’t lying how truly is there! When I took a tour did not like it gave me Daddys Daycare Like the movie disgusting , no new toys , no new anything , looked like hand me down toys , furniture! Small amount of food ! Especially Snack to fill a child. The owner is rude and is a smart … trys to be right and tell me how to be to my child! DONT recommend here not a real daycare like a drop off and pick up for when you need a quick sitter

  • Tina the owner was such a warm and welcoming character her devotion to the kids she takes care of is honestly otherworldly. Im currently going thru a divorce and have never felt the level of compatability between me and my child's alternate care like I did today. I look Forward to my daughter attending best friends in a way I never imagined.

  • Best Friends Preschool has been such a blessing for our family. My 3-year-old has been attending for 6 months, and my 6-month-old just recently started. The staff has been nothing but kind, professional, and accommodating. They go out of their way to stick to our family's schedule, and I always feel in the loop--whether it's updates on feedings, naps, bathroom breaks, or the fun learning activities my kids are doing. I especially appreciate the daily photos and detailed notes, which give me peace of mind while I'm at work. It's clear how much pride the staff takes in caring for and supporting both the kids and the parents. After returning from maternity leave, it's been such a relief to know my boys are in such great hands. Best part is my kids look forward to going to see their friends, teachers and learn new things! I'm truly grateful for Best Friends Preschool and can't recommend them enough--they're doing an incredible job and have earned my full trust.

  • Best Friends has been such a great experience for all three of our children! Over the past five years, it’s given us peace of mind knowing our kids are going to a place that is supportive, responsive and full of tons of fun learning/play activities. We love best friends!

  • Nothing but good to say. Both of my children have gone here and graduated. My biggest concern signing up was if my kids would be fed good and ultimately I had nothing to worry about on that issue or really anything at all. They have made me feel very at ease every day my children were left there and that’s worth its weight in gold.

  • The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Ms. Amy, Ms. Jessica, and Ms. Austin have been great. They care about our daughter’s well- being and we appreciate the support they provide. We all love this place!
