What parents say

First Steps is wonderful! All the teachers are so loving and they do a ton of fun activities with the kids. They play yard is very large and the location is great, conveniently located just off 24 and close to Bart, but tucked away with ample parking.

Our two year old spent the past 10 months at First Steps Learning Center and loved every day of it. It's a block from Acalanes High School, just off 24. They accept kids 0-24 months old. They're open from 7:30am until 6pm M-F. I think they have a few openings now (mid August 2020) but they'll probably fill up soon so act fast!
