Katie Talbott · 5/5 on Google · 2 years agoI’m so glad First Step had an opening for us when we moved here two years ago. My daughter is in their daycare and preschool program and it’s been a positive experience for both her and me. The staff really care and they keep you in the loop. I know she is safe and having fun.
