  • I would give this daycare 5 stars for their work. All my children have grown up in this daycare and I have had very few issues or concerns with how they run or take care of kiddos. They have many activities that they do, along with parties and arts and crafts. I have never had an issue with this daycare and communication, and I have always viewed them as fully transparent. My children love all the workers and have developed loving relationships with them all. Each employee taking care of my kids as if they were their own. I love how this daycare prepares the littles for the transition to school age instead of just being a location that just hangs out all day, made it very easy for my kids to feel comfortable in taking that big step with confidence to kindergarten. I absolutely trust this location and will be very sad when all my kids can no longer attend. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone.

  • My son attended First Steps from 6 months old to right before kindergarten. His teachers did not just care for my son, teach him and nurture him. They loved him! I could not have asked for a better place for my son to be while I was at work. I highly recommend First Steps to every mother and father.

  • First Steps is a great preschool! I love that small family feel and I appreciate the routine that they get the kids on. They’re great at communicating when anything happens with my son and another kid and they are always willing to listen when I want to talk to them about any concerns. I love that they encourage the kids to learn through play and really allow them to use their imaginations and explore. I really love all the songs they sing with the kids. My son really enjoys singing and through songs he has developed a larger vocabulary. Thanks guys! You’re great!

  • By children and my grandchildren have gone to First Steps . It’s a family setting where kids get to experience many age appropriate activities hands on and having fun. Much of the staff have been there many years , which makes it nice as they all had same teachers. They have gone on field trips , had special visitors , like Santa and in October the fire truck comes to teach fire safety . In summer there is lots of fun out door play as well as in the winter when weather permits. During their time there we have seen many children and then their siblings come .I personally feel pretty lucky that my kids have gotten to be in a place that made me feel they were safe and happy .

  • The long term staff members are amazing! This center provides high quality child care and learning that many centers I have been too do not! They make you feel like family and treat the children their as their own! I love how they connect with their community! Highly recommend sending your children here for childcare!

  • My 2 and a half year old daughter goes here and has been here for over year. This daycare has been so amazing. My daughter gets so excited every morning to see her teacher. It's just like a home daycare but it's not. The classroom sizes aren't too big which means my daughter gets a lot of one on one attention. Our old daycare had way too many kids in a classroom bit this one doesn't. The teachers do so many activities with the kids and the kids get to play outside alot which I think is important.
