What parents say
I just want to give the biggest shoutout to my daughter’s daycare and especially Ms. Shauna & infant 2 class teachers ❤️🥹 As a mom, leaving your child in someone else’s care isn’t always easy, but knowing she is loved, cared for, and treated with kindness every day means more to me than words can say. Thank you all , for your patience, love, and all the little things you do to make my daughter feel safe and happy.…
quaniyah taylor · 5/5 on Google · 2 weeks agoWe couldn't be happier with our experience at First Steps Academy. We send both of our toddlers here, and from day one, we've been impressed by the warmth and kindness of the entire staff. They treat our children with such genuine care and affection, truly as if they were their own. It's the best feeling as a parent to see your kids genuinely excited to go to school each morning. One of the standout features for us…
Joe Hernandez · 5/5 on Google · 11 months agoBoth our girls have enjoyed their time at this daycare. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make your child’s day full of fun and learning. One of our girls had a medical emergency while at childcare and we are so thankful for how quickly they reacted to get her the care she needed.
Megan Sandman · 5/5 on Google · 2 years agoWe love our first steps family. We have been there for over 8 years and have always had great staff who truly care about our kiddos. We have made some Ling term friends along the way. My kiddos love seeing their teachers. They activities that they do outside of normal hours really makes it seem more like a family rather than a normal child care setting.
