  • My (2yr old) daughter has been attending Step by Step since August and we could not be happier. She is well loved and cared for everyday while my husband and I are at work. She gets to play with friends, create projects, and have fun! She loves going to “school” everyday and comes home telling me all the things she’s learned and she can now count to 20 unassisted. We are so happy with the level of care she’s receiving and hope she’ll be there until kindergarten.

  • My son Parker will be 4 years old shortly and has been with Step by Step since he was 3 months old! I absolutely love this team! Everyone is always very helpful, resourceful, patient and personal with my son. It feels more like leaving him with family opposed to a “business”. Also they are very reasonably priced!! If you’re looking for a great experience for your infant or toddler, this is surely the way to go 💜💙

  • My son has been attending since he was six weeks old he’s turning 4 years old. I can not say thank you to these amazing girls enough. Christine the director she goes out of her way to help with anything ! In the beginning I was switching my schedule around for work different hours they were all so flexible and kind. I had so many questions at first she helped with paper work, and also keeping me updated with my son. My son gets frequent nose bleeds they call me and let me know right away. They Keep you updated on the times your child has ate, how much, what they are as well also bathroom breaks, and even Activites they do. The communication is amazing. My son loves going to daycare. My son has the biggest smile on his face when he sees his teachers. He has learned so much from all these wonderful teachers, they have such good activities for them and do such fun things! They take a lot of care of these kids and really love them! I have recommended so many people here and they love it! Jazmin, Isabel, Zaina, and Brit hands down the best thank you for everything. All of the girls thank you! A friend recommended this daycare and all I can say is the BEST daycare !!

  • Step By Step has been so great for our family! They have such a great team of teachers for every age group and really care about the kids they take care of everyday. I know my 4 year old daughter loves going here and is so happy when she talks about her friends and teachers at home. Currently she is with Ms. Zee and Ms. Jazmyn and absolutely loves them. She even lets them do her hair which is a big deal because she doesn’t let anyone touch her hair 😊 My daughter really has benefited from going here in so many ways. Especially with her social skills. She has been going here since 2019. They have a new app this year that allows them to send messages and photos throughout the day (when they are able to) which is nice. They also have really reasonable rates for care. Thank you Step By Step 😊

  • My son has been attending here since he was 2 years old, he will be 5 this year! I love this place so much! These ladies are the best! They care for the kids like they are their own! When I started potty training with my son and told his teachers miss z and miss jazmin they helped me so much to make sure we were on the same page to get my son to go potty on his own, that’s when I knew this was a great place! My son knows his numbers, abcs and colors and is all around smart, all thanks to them! Mrs Christine is a toddler whisperer! 😩 my son was going through a phase of terrible 3-4 and she helped my son calm down and listen and just being there for him! They also call if there is something wrong or even if it’s not something bad they still let you know what is going on! I even get pictures of my son doing crafts and participating In circle time! We love this place so much, I just enrolled my 4 month old daughter and get told when she ate and how much, sleeping and had a dirty diaper! My son always says he had a good day or just tells me about his day and it’s always good never bad! ❤️

  • It’s been a year now that my daughter has been attending Step By Step and I just want to say thank you to the teachers in the infant room that have done such a great job taking care of my daughter. She is a year old now and she loves going to school when she sees her teachers she gets so excited and throws her arms to go with them. A big thank you to Christine the director for always going above and beyond for my daughter. We appreciate you so much!! Big shout out to Ms Amanda for caring for her as much as you do. Thank you guys for everything you do for my baby!!
