First Friends an Early Care and Education Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Our goal is to provide an exciting environment where children can explore, learn, succeed, and have fun. Our teachers create a caring and nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe, secure, and respected.
Children are free to explore new relationships as well as build a positive self image. Our classrooms provide social opportunities for children to interact with children and adults. Our teachers are dedicated to the growth and development of each child. Our low teacher/student ratio allows teachers to focus on the individual needs of each child.

This day care has been great to our child and us. The price and reasonable and the care is exceptional. Kim, the director, is a solid leader and manager at First Friends. There is aost no turnover in the staff and they have a training program with the child care program at Worcester Technical HS. These students intern at First Friends and then become dedicated employees. I really like that they do this and it gives my child a consistent experience due to the low turnover. If you study or work at WPI, there is nothing more convenient.

We LOVED first friends!! My son went there ever since he was 5 months old! the infant rooms are great!! The teachers treat the babies just like they would their own babies! My son loved it there and we were so sad to change daycares when we had to move to Boston. I highly recommend this place. Make sure you get on the waitlist right away.
