We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and the organizing team for the wonderful Kids Summer Camp 2025.

They truly enjoyed every activity – from music and dance to camping and fun games. Please do keep us informed if you organize such camps in the future, as we would love for our children to join again.

My daughter (Talia) attended the summer camp 2025 which was organized by First Friends Pre-School. Looking at their last year’s summer camp, I thought it must be good. However, I didn’t expect it to be this good. I was really impressed to see how dedicated their staff is. It was super creative and was organized very well. And whenever I went there to pick her up, I saw the principal/ owner was always up and about, interacting lovingly with both children and staff. Not only for photos or videos, she actually seems to be very involved with children. So I would highly recommend First Friends Pre School! And thank you First Friends for organizing such an event in Kandy.Posted on KASUNI IMESHATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
