Recent parent reviews

  • Kind, compassionate and patient are just a few characteristics of the staff at Marshall First Step Academy. My son learned so many new skills and is ready for kindergarten after attending Pre-K classes. I love that the classes are separated from preschool to pre-k so they can focus of what skills your child needs to suceed. My family loves Ms. Cassie and staff and highly recommend to anyone looking for a preschool/Pre-k school.
