It’s been three years since I started sending my son to First Steps Early Learning Center, and I must say it’s one of the best learning centers in the neighborhood. The owners, Mr. Ricky and Mrs. Jennifer, are extremely kind and understanding. They truly make you feel like part of one big family, which I believe is so important for any learning center. The teachers and staff are all well-trained, caring, and experienced. Overall, it’s been a wonderful experience, and I’m so happy to see that my son genuinely enjoys going to daycare every day. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough GREAT things about this daycare! My son started here when he was only 4 months old. As a new mom, I was anxious and worried he might struggle to adjust, but the owners were so warm and loving from day one, treating him as if he were their own! Miss Jen, Mr. Ricky and Ms. Carolyn are the best! They would carry him around when he only wanted to be held - even into their own office! My son has struggled with eczema, and everyone has been so supportive ensuring whatever he needs they are happy to do, even offered to order a special mattress cover if it would help with allergies. Truly, I cannot imagine a better daycare with kinder people! He is now 9 months old and at drops offs, he practically jumps in any of the teachers arms and waves good-bye to his mama with a big smile. There is no better feeling than knowing that he is HAPPY and cared for when he is there. We are so grateful to have found them!
I'm so happy with first steps. My daughter started when she was 7 months and is now 16 months. She is soo happy there. They always greet us with a smile and have such great energy. The owners have become family to us. It feels like she is with her family when I drop her off everyday. And as a first time mom that's such an amazing and important feeling to have while at work and away from my baby girl. The owners are amazing as well as their staff. If I could, I would give 10 stars.
I couldnt say enough great things about this school! The owners Ms. Jen & Mr. Ricky are absolutely AMAZING! Since day 1 of my daughter attending their school they have treated her like family. All the teachers in the school are absolutely wonderful & truly care about their students ! Love this school & Love them !
The owners and some of the teachers are good educators. They are patient and work with your child. My son did well here for a while. His first two teachers were fantastic, and he learned a lot. The last teacher for pre-k was horrible and very passive-aggressive to me and my child. I decided to change schools because it was productive for my son's education, and he didn’t need to be in a hostile environment.
