  • We moved to Pocatello recently, and were nervous about which preschool to choose for our kids. Thank goodness we chose step ahead, preschool! April has been very thorough and detail oriented in teaching our son. She even suggested he get his eyesight checked Because she noticed he was needing to be scooted closer to the board. He ended up needing Glasses! Something I would have never caught on my own. He was also a transferred student midyear, And the staff made him feel welcomed and loved in the classroom. He’s learning so much and I am very impressed with the curriculum as well as the staff.

  • Choosing Step Ahead Preschool has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my twin boys. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel so welcome and supported. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and truly passionate about helping every child learn and grow. You can tell they love what they do — and it shows every single day! The communication is absolutely amazing. I’m always updated on what my kids are learning, how they’re doing, and what’s coming up next. It’s so nice to feel connected and involved in their school days, and the teachers are always quick to respond, answer questions, and share sweet moments from the classroom. Academically and socially, my kids have grown so much. They’ve learned letters, numbers, early reading skills, and so many fun hands-on lessons that keep them excited to learn. More importantly, they’ve gained confidence, friendships, and all the tools they need to be ready for kindergarten. Step Ahead Preschool has truly given my kids a strong foundation for learning and a love for school. I’m beyond grateful for the teachers and staff who go above and beyond every single day. I can’t recommend them enough — they’ve made such a positive difference in our lives! 💛
