I absolutely love this place. My 14 month old has been attending for about almost 3 months already and I feel so secure with her being there. I love the teachers there are so friendly and they make me aware of everything that takes place. My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Toya! The smile on my daughters face is all I need to let me know she is in good hands! I definitely would recommend them all the way! Great job guys!
Friendship daycare has the best teachers Ms Connie , Ms. Lita , Ms.N , Ms Donna also Ms Sabrina are so caring and kind. Ms. Karen the director works so hard she's takes great care of each child who walks in and out the door. They make you feel great about leaving your child at the center. Friendship daycare is the best daycare in Bayonne Nj. I give them 10 stars. If you ever need a great daycare this should be the first place you look. I really love the teachers here. Clean always smiling and they work hard all the time.
I have a child at Friendship Family Daycare and we are Mrs. Connie. Teachers like her are hard to come by nowadays. We know she has the best interest in all of the children. Mrs. Connie lets the children she can be their friend as well as their teacher. Children need to know they can trust their teacher. I believe those are the teachers children remember when they are older. She helps them form fun memories while in preschool. She tries to find something unique in each child and reminds them everyday that they are capable of anything. Mrs. Connie truly loves what she does and it shows through the children. When my child says he wants to go to school I know there is something good there. I believe Friendship Famiy Daycare has benefitted from having Mrs. Connie on staff there. I believe, as do other parents, this is a great light for the school.
That newest teacher/aide/helper that is employed there has to be watched closely. That Connie Maksel. Why on earth would you want to expose innocent children to that type of influence. She is a bit unstable and needs constant approval from people in order to function as a teacher. She tries to be the friends of the children instead of a competant stable adult. She falls apart with any criticism and runs to the closet to cry. she has favorites in the class and treats the children of the parents that question her with attitude and meanness. She always assumes that people are talking about her when she is not in the room. She is not very alert in the classroom and children have been nearly hospitalized when in her care. I would suggest you check her references thouroughly and past employers as well. This is not the type of influence that should be around youngsters. This would greatly diminish the value of your center.
