I absolutely love this daycare center! The Renee is so caring and good at her job. The staff truly love all the kids that are in their rooms! They have an app where I get updates of my child's day, and will get photos of him with his friends! Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoy using First Steps as our daycare provider! Our daughter has always received such great care and attention from the teachers. They communicate very well with us throughout the day and it’s awesome to see all the activities they do. The center Director, Renee, is awesome and so involved in each classroom.
Huge thank you to her teachers, Tirzah, Ace, Jessica, Katie, Brittani, and Faith for all you do for our sweet girl. You do so well with her and she clearly has a healthy connection with you all. We feel very confident she is receiving top notch care. Thank you, First Steps Academy!

My daughter was home up until she was 6 months old. She went to Little Steps Academy and had a rough time adjusting at first. She wouldn’t take a bottle or eat any of the food offered. The staff here were so patient and sweet to her while she adjusted. Took extra time and tried lots of different things to get her comfortable enough to take a bottle and eat. Now she has the best time there and is always so happy when I pick her up. I highly recommend Little Steps Academy for your little ones!

My son has attended First Steps for the better part of 5 years now. If you're a parent, you know that finding a care facility that you are comfortable keeping your child at for nearly 5 years is very rare. The amount of knowledge he has learned and retained is insane. All of the staff (administration down to classroom level) are so sweet, patient and kind to him, and to us as his parents. When we walk in to the building every day, any teacher that passes us greets him by name with a smile, even teachers that I don't know and have never had him in a classroom. The teachers that work here absolutely have a passion for caring for and teaching young children and I would recommend First Steps to anyone!

Both of my children attended first steps academy and my son still does! The teachers at little steps are phenomenal and have pushed him to achieve more than I thought possible at his age! My not even 2 year old can sing his ABCs clearly, count, tell his peers when he needs space or wants them to stop, etc. I cannot believe the growth I have seen from him being there! Thank you to all of the teachers there who help him grow!
