When our little one first came into our care, we were told they might not do well in a daycare setting. But they have completely exceeded every single expectation, and it’s all thanks to the incredible team here. From day one, the staff has poured so much love, patience, and effort into helping our child grow and thrive. They’re nurturing, professional, and genuinely invested in every child’s success. The team holds certifications, continues learning, and works closely with families and support services to ensure every child gets the best possible care. We believe this team wholeheartedly and would never think they were anything but honest, compassionate, and dedicated professionals. Their communication, transparency, and integrity have always been outstanding. This daycare has been a true blessing in our lives. They’ve created a loving, joyful environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to shine. We are eternally grateful for the incredible difference they’ve made. 💛 Thank you all for being such a bright, beautiful part of our child’s world!

First Step Learning Center is phenomenal. #1 in the area. All staff members are constantly attentive, engaging, friendly, responsible, and always put your child's needs first. They all love what they do and develop such strong relationships with the children. They emphasize a learning environment and the children learn something new everyday. I'll never send my children anywhere but here. First Step is without a doubt in my mind the best child care facility around. Highly reccomend!!

My Daughter stated she was tripped by another child and told teacher and teacher said she was fine. But my Daughter was not fine! Also staff is very judgmental, racist and rude. We removed our daughter, because owner and staff wanted to judge my family based of he say she say and false assumptions instead of looking at the facts. Miserable People love to make it hard for others, good old state of CT with VULTURES. Remember GOD don’t like ugly!

Turned around and walked out. Multiple kids were on 'time out' - one of the staff was requesting an apology for being bitten by a 4/5? yr old. No one appeared to have any authority. The kids were not happy and didn't seem to be in a good environment. Downstairs the toddlers/infants were fairing a little better but NOT a place I would leave my child even in a pinch!
