Description:
First Friends Daycare is a small, privately owned, home-like center in Cheektowaga. Recently opened in March 2019, we are constantly updating and improving to provide the best childcare and enriching experiences for our First Friends Families.
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.
