My daughter has been going to First Buddies since she was 7 months old. I’m a VERY hard to impress/ extremely protective mama bear and first buddies has managed to exceed every expectation I had. I was extremely hesitant to send my daughter to daycare under the age of 1, but first buddies made the transition easy and my daughter LOVES going to daycare. She loves all of the staff and I truly feel they love her back, which was important to me. I toured 5 different daycares at very high price points and I still found First Buddies to be the best fit. I’m so thankful to Debbie and the rest of the staff for taking such good care of my baby and keeping her well entertained/stimulated all day.
Devorah UOct 15, 2024It’s hard to overstate how much First Buddies has done for our family. Debbie and her staff are all extraordinarily caring and communicative and take very seriously the trust that we give them to care for our child. They are supportive of us parents too at every step of our child’s development, encouraging us to try new things with him like solid foods. The facilities are extremely well run, organized, and reliable. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone! Thank you Debbie, Lizette, Ally, and Chelsea!
Jessica QuiasonOct 7, 2024This is an amazing daycare! My sons have learned so much from here. Staff was so loving and caring. I would definitely recommend this daycare!
Danielle MoranDec 29, 2023This was not a good experience for me for a handful of reasons. I was not informed that this is an immersion program where most of the providers only speak spanish, which is fine but I would have appreciated a heads up. My son came home incredibly hungry every day, I dont think the snacks were sufficient. When I finally pulled him from the daycare, his water bottle they had been using had never been cleaned properly and was full of MOLD! Not worth it for me at all.
Melike KonurDec 28, 2023Super cute and clean!! The staff is extremely friendly.
NaralynMar 28, 2022It just wasn’t a good experience for me.
