I had a relative that attended this mess of an establishment. The child was mistreated and while I wanted to reach out to higher department within the county/state I did not know who to turn to. Plus my relative was taken out the school so I moved on. However I wanted to leave a review for others to know that, the head at the time was a lady with short hair and she is unprofessional and bias. At the time, the granddaughter of the owner or something like that was in the same class as my relative, Skylar/Harper (I forget what the child name is but her picture is on the banner in front of the school) and she was idolized and placed in priority before the other children which I believe is and was completely wrong. When confronted about the issues we always received attitude and pushback and ultimately became a target. I think there are better programs and facilities than friendship for tots, please do your research before sending your precious little one(s) here.
OrdersMay 19, 2026My 4yr old and 2 yr old daughters love the school and teachers. They are always ready and excited to go to school. They have grown and learn so much since September. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. They provide a safe and clean environment for the children. I am incredibly happy with this school and staff 😊
DeyaniraMar 28, 2025Please be careful when registering your child in this school, my son's experience was not good at all and mine as a parent was even worse. Por favor tengan cuidado al registrar a su hijo en esta escuela, la experiencia de mi hijo no fue nada buena y la mía como padre fue aún peor.
Kleber FerreiraDec 2, 2024I do not recommend this school, they are not qualified and prepared to teach children and support parents, the teachers are stupid and the management does not work properly, they are great on the day of enrollment, but after that you are just another one, you practically have to beg for information about your child. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, keep your children away and avoid problems! This school is not prepared to receive children! YES, my son studied there for 2 months and during that time I have had several problems. The teacher refused to talk to me, they made serious accusations for a child who is in the process of potty training, and who is only 2 years old. Everything I heard and experienced was terrifying. They accused a two-year-old child who is learning to use the potty of trying to show off to other children. Not to mention the disregard of the teacher who did not give me any information about my son and felt confronted when I asked. It was terrible, do not send your son to this school. If you want more information, I can provide it. Esta escuela no está preparada para recibir niños! SI, mi hijo estudié allí durante 2 meses y durante este periodo he tenido varios problemas. La maestra se negó a hablar conmigo, hicieron graves acusaciones contra un niño que está en proceso de aprender a ir al baño, y que solo tiene 2 años. Todo lo que escuché y experimenté fue aterrador. han acusado a un niño de dos años que está aprendiendo a usar el orinal de intentar presumir ante los demás niños. Fue negligencia de la maestra que no me dio información sobre mi hijo y se sintió confrontada cuando le pregunté. Fue terrible, no metas a tu hijo en esa escuela. Si quieres más información te la puedo facilitar. Essa escola não está preparada para receber crianças! SIM, meu filho estudou lá por 2 meses e nesse período tive diversos problemas. A professora se negou a conversar comigo, eles fizeram acusações graves para uma criança que está em processo de desfralde, e que tem apenas 2 anos. foi aterrorizante tudo o que ouvi e vivi. acusaram uma criança de dois anos que está aprendendo a usar o penico de tentar se exibir para outras crianças. fora o descaso da professora que não me dava informações sobre meu filho e se sentia confrontada quando eu perguntava. Foi terrível, não coloque seu filho nessa escola. Caso queiram mais informações, eu posso fornecer.
Gabrielle SevilhaNov 27, 2024My sister said she loves it and that it's fun! Good enough for me (she is 3 btw)
