Friends Of The Family Child Care Center: Metuchen, NJ

this center is …a very happy place for a child to spend the day. children and teachers work as a team. children are kept very busy and learn a lot through playing and activities with the teacher. children are made to feel very comfortable and self confident. my children have been at this center for 3 years and i am very happy. my older child is learning new things everyday and my baby is always happy. she responds so well when she sees her teacher each morning. the children know how much they are loved and respected and they react in kind.

this center is … a great place for two kinds of people. Those who want their child to be colorful and those who want their child to learn things outside of the normal realm of what education gives us. I like the fact they focus on the more out of the box aspects of learning as the remainder is what children have drilled into their mind once they move onto K-12. My daughter is very happy, creative, she sings a lot, she loves arts and crafts and brings home all sorts of very neat and surprising items which we have an entire wall of at home. They do a good job and are very passionate about children, as I’ve been told.

I had my child enrolled in an Apple Montessori school and in comparison, Motessori is very impersonal, costs more, very antiseptic, reminds me of dropping my daughter off to a hospital. Children aren’t robots and tend to rebel from too much order or people having too much control over them, these are behaviors that stay with them for a lifetime. I would tell everyone to consider Friends of the Family, their name stands true to their nature and learning style. Thanks, you guys are awesome and it reflects in my child’s want and willingness to go to school everyday.
