My name is Liz Arce and I am a mother of 3 wonderful girls.  I decided once my youngest was born that I could help other families by teaching and caring for their children while staying home with mine. 

  Friends Forever Daycare  has been in operation since 2007 and is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and is a QUALITYstarsNY participating site (additional information about QSNY can be found at their website, www.qualitystarsny.org).  

In the past ten years later I have grown my family daycare into a group daycare and have been able to watch so many children graduate from my care better prepared for the rest of their Early Education journey.  I have hired assistant teachers/caregivers to work with me who will care for, play with and teach your children as if they were our own.   All teachers/caregivers are CPR/First Aid trained and have been fingerprinted and cleared through the NYS OCFS.  All our staff members attend on-going training to keep up-to-date with latest regulations and best practices for young children.We offer full time and part time care (2, 3 & 4 days a week) at a very affordable rate! Hours of operation: 7:30 am – 5:30 pm  

Our program is a play based program where we teach through hands on experiences and not just ditto's and worksheets.  Our caregivers are continually taking training to make sure that your children are cared for in the best possible way.  We have 2 large indoor rooms and a large play space outdoors for children to run, play and explore.  Our indoor space has dramatic play, art, music, science, math and reading areas.  Our daycare works hard to stay posted on the most up-to-date teaching methods.  We  are constantly changing our approach to the curriculum according to the individual needs of the child while maintain basic methods that we believe nurture children’s learning.  Our methods are exemplified in the activities we do with the children.
