Love this place! They absolutely treat our boys (18mon and 4y) like family. The entire staff and director are amazing. Highly recommend :)
Matthew DFeb 5, 2026My daughter went to Our first steps for a year and a half until we moved to a different town, we loved our time here!! The entire staff is so warm and friendly, Devin is on top of everything and always available for any questions or concerns. We had many happy and memorable moments here. My daughter loved it and so did we. Best of luck to this amazing place!
Yessica AvendanoJun 8, 2023My Oldest granddaughter who is now in kindergarten went here from the time she was a little baby. Now my younger granddaughter who is two years old, goes and loves it! Devin is a very kind, caring person as well is the staff!!
Peggy AlvarezAug 16, 2022My 10 month old goes here and it is the best decision I ever made. Devin, the owner, is so incredibly sweet, absolutely amazing with her kids, her staff is wonderful who also do private babysitting once in a while for reasonable rates. The daycare rates are affordable and my daughter always has so much fun, so happy, so comfortable. Cannot recommend enough, Rec’d to my co-workers as well who have kids and need a new daycare.
Brittany EgenbergerApr 2, 2022We absolutely love it here! Devin the owner is amazing! She puts her heart into everything she does. My kids always look forward to going to “school” and seeing their friends and teachers!
Alyssa AlvarezFeb 1, 2022I was lucky to have had both of my girls here from 3 months old. My girls still talk about their teachers. The most kind, caring staff and owner ever. Thank you for taking amazing care my my girls.
