Kind, loving staff. Educators truly care about all the children.
Maggie DinsmoreDec 23, 2025Cancelled at the last minute over anything they could find. Continuously lied about my daughter having a fever so they could send her home once a week because they were understaffed yet still expected full payment every month. Dismal employee/ director turnover rate. Skip this place
Greg MillerSep 16, 2025First Steps has been such a great place for my two year old! She has been going since she was 8 months old and the amount of stuff she has learned is unbelievable. All the staff truly cares about the children like they are their own.
