About Best Friends Preschool in Wareham, MA

Since 1997, Best Friends has been committed to providing excellence in child care and education. Licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Early Education and Care Department, we offer a nurturing environment where children grow, learn, and form lasting friendships. At Best Friends, your child’s journey of discovery and enrichment begins with us.

Our Programs

Infants
Our infant program provides a safe, nurturing, and clean environment where babies can explore independently, interact, and build trust with their caregivers. Caring educators work closely with parents to ensure continuity of care, nurturing each baby through their developmental milestones. Daily “heart-to-heart” time includes feeding, snuggling, singing, reading, playing, and laughing to foster a secure and enriching environment.

Toddlers
Toddlers are natural explorers, and our program is designed to fuel their curiosity. Classrooms feature safe, age-appropriate furniture and toys, promoting active engagement and learning.

  • Curriculum: Monthly calendars and newsletters keep parents informed of classroom activities. Interactive, hands-on lessons enhance social, emotional, language, and cognitive skills through storytime, singing, and games. Weekly Music and Movement lessons, taught by a certified teacher, encourage participation and physical activity.
  • Outdoor Play: Toddlers enjoy running, climbing, sliding, sandbox play, and bike riding.
  • Daily Reports: Parents receive daily updates on mood, meals, diapering/toileting, and other activities.

Preschool
Our preschool program introduces children to a world of learning, fostering language, social, emotional, and critical thinking skills. The program builds a strong academic and literacy foundation to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. Educators engage children with responsive conversation, daily reading, and writing practice.

  • Curriculum: Based on the Massachusetts Department of Education Guidelines for Preschool Learning, our curriculum integrates science, math, writing, literature, and social studies. Weekly Music and Movement lessons with a certified teacher are included. Monthly calendars and newsletters keep families informed.

Before and After School (Ages 5-8)
Our before and after school program offers a safe and structured environment for school-age children.

  • Curriculum: Activities include outdoor play, puzzles, games, creative projects, and supervised homework time. Children enjoy group storytelling and a variety of snacks.
  • Focus: The program fosters a positive self-image through social interaction, cooperation, conflict resolution, and relationship-building. Children learn to use their free time creatively, productively, and safely.

Ms. Tara

Program Director

I have been working in the childcare field since I’ve been 16 years old in high school. I have been a Program Director for 8 years and have an Associates Degree in Early childhood. I take my career extremely seriously and I take great pride in having a professional but friendly rapport with my families, and the kiddos. I make it a point to go into each classroom every day and talk to the kiddos even if it’s just for a few minutes each time. I have gotten to know them very well and know special little things about all of them. I love that we have the best laughs and conversations. The children’s safety, wellbeing, and happiness are my top priority. I want families to feel respected and secure in the care of their most cherished little human. I am married and have two adult children of my own, and I am a grandmother of 2.

My daughter has been attending bestfriends since she was 3 years old. Bestfriends has been so amazing to my daughter and caring. They have always been so mindful of her accommodations, and genuinely care for her well being. She has built long lasting relationships with the teachers. Although she is now in kindergarten, I can always count on bestfriends to be there when my daughter is on school vacation, always fun learning projects and attentive teachers. Tara and the staff have been wonderful and have played a huge role in my daughters social/behavioral development.

Our daughter has been with Best Friends since she was 4 months old (5years old now). We completely trust Tara to take care of her and all the other kids with them. The teachers are great, they really care about the kids. They mix learning with fun, safety, and socializing. Tara has gone above and beyond more than once for our family and for all the kids . We’re so grateful!

Best Friends Academy has been absolutely amazing for my family. My two youngest attend daycare here, and they truly love it. Every morning they wake up excited to get ready and “go to school,” and they run right in at drop-off…which says everything you need to know as a parent. My 3 year old has been in the preschool class since she was 2 and I’ve seen real growth, especially with learning and counting she’s confidently counting to and past 10 now, learning her letters and they’ve even helped a lot with potty training. Miss Leila and Miss Aliyah are amazing with her. My 1 year old is in the infant/toddler class and is just as happy and comfortable. It’s clear they’re learning, cared for, and genuinely enjoy being there. She absolutely loves her teachers Miss Ari and Miss Ashley who both are great at what they do and very caring. Tara, the director, is exceptional. She is always present, always calm, and clearly an incredible leader. My daughters light up when they see her and run up to give her hugs every day. As a parent, that level of trust and connection means everything. Tara always has everything under control, and her calm, steady presence creates such a warm and safe environment. I couldn’t be happier with Best Friends Academy and am incredibly grateful for the care, structure, and love they provide my daughters every day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place where their kids will truly thrive

I am very glad we picked this school. Our grandson has been attending over 3 years now and we know he is loved. Miss Tara has always been very accommodating to our situation and has become like family. Miss Ari, Miss Leila, and Miss Sarah have all been awesome teachers! He has come such a long way and is doing very well. It makes us a little sad when we think he will be moving on to kindergarten soon. 😞
