Highly recommend Friendship Corner! I was in a pinch for after school care at the beginning of the school year. They were so friendly and were able to help me very quickly. I visited and enrolled my kids on a Thursday, and they were able to start going there the following Monday! They are also very quick to resolve any issues that arise. I love the family run feel, the teachers and staff. My kids do too! :)

My family moved to the area and were originally looking for in home daycare but not having much luck. We found Friendship Corner after searching through the area daycare centers and found the staff friendly and the costs comparable to in-home care vs. a higher priced chain daycare. I have kids ranging from the baby room to school age. My oldest went on weekly summer camp trips that he was excited for. My youngest runs to the door to go to "school" and is excited to be there, saying hi to all of the teachers. All of the kids do crafts and learning activities. Baby room is clean and fully staffed
