Description: Best Friends Preschool offers a secure and encouraging environment for all children. During their early years, children are the most energetic, creative, questioning and open to learning. We strive to create an environment that promotes a child's total growth - social, intellectual, physical and emotional.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
