  • Tamari took care of our daughter for over a year and she was amazing. She was always caring, patient and easy to communicate with. Our daughter loved her and was excited to see her every morning. As parents, it gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We highly recommend Tamari!

  • We’re incredibly grateful for the safe, loving, and encouraging environment you create each day - it’s easy to see how much our child is growing and thriving because of you.

  • The team at Mini Steps is the best daycare I have taken my daughter to in the area. We have gone to 3 other daycares that do not compare! At Mini Steps, they are kind, clean, and educated in caring for my child. She loves going every morning and always has fun with Tammy and the team! Thank you Mini Steps!!!

  • Tammy is a truly wonderful caregiver. Our daughter started daycare with her when she was six months old and was with her until she was two and a half. Tammy is very organized, communicative and nurturing. She also supported our daughter with potty training. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Questions parents ask about MINI STEPS DAYCARE

Is MINI STEPS DAYCARE a licensed child care provider in New York?

What kind of child care is MINI STEPS DAYCARE?

New York licenses MINI STEPS DAYCARE as a Group Family Day Care (GFDC), which is care in a provider's home with an assistant, for a larger group than family day care. The category comes from the state's own register, not from the provider.

What ages does MINI STEPS DAYCARE care for?

New York licenses MINI STEPS DAYCARE for children 6 weeks to 12 years, up to 16 at one time. The age span is the state's, taken from its published capacity record.

Which school district is MINI STEPS DAYCARE in?

MINI STEPS DAYCARE sits in the Brooklyn 22 school district, in Brooklyn County. New York records the district on the licence, which matters for school-age care and transport.

Does this page show inspection results for MINI STEPS DAYCARE?

No. New York's public child care roster carries no violation or inspection fields, and no separate statewide dataset of them was found, so nothing here reflects MINI STEPS DAYCARE's inspection history either way. Look the provider up in the OCFS child care search to read its violations and whether they were corrected.
