Little Step Preschool And Child Care Center

I don’t know how this place got 5 star reviews “Please read this review before you want to enroll your kid” Our experience with this Montessori was very disappointing and heartbreaking. For almost one year, our child was terrified to go to school every day. Unfortunately, we had no other option at the time because most preschools in the area had long waitlists, so we enrolled him temporarily while waiting for another school to become available. Looking back, we truly wish we had never sent our child here. In the beginning, the only positive was his teachers, whom he really liked. However, both of those teachers eventually left the school. They were replaced by what seemed to be unqualified staff members, and communication became very difficult due to language barriers. After that, our child cried every single morning and begged not to go. During the last month, our child told us that Jennifer had been screaming at him, which was extremely disturbing to hear. Even after stopping attendance several months ago, our child still says every day that he does not want to go back to his “old school,” which shows how deeply this experience affected him. When we first joined, the student-teacher ratio was reasonable. After a few months, they continued enrolling more students, which clearly reduced the level of care and attention each child received. We also noticed favoritism and partiality toward certain students, which is unacceptable in a childcare environment. Another major concern was the food quality. The school appeared to serve very cheap, low-quality food products. While attending this school, our child frequently woke up in the middle of the night vomiting. Since he stopped going there, the vomiting has stopped, which makes us very concerned that the food may have contributed to this issue. We also noticed a big change in his behavior after leaving. While attending this school, he was often very cranky and irritable after pickup. Now that he no longer goes there, he is much happier and calmer. Looking back, we are realizing how much this environment may have negatively affected him. Additionally, we were very upset to learn that our child was being shown phones/screens in the evening. No matter how much we limit screen time at home, this completely undermined our efforts. We specifically asked about screen use when enrolling and were told that they do not use screens at all. This was very disappointing and felt misleading. The only thing this school seems to attract families with is lower pricing. However, no amount of savings is worth putting your child through a traumatic experience. Please think twice before sending your child here. We hope no other family has to go through what we did.

Our daughter attended Little Steps Montessori for 3 years, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! Ms. Jennifer and the entire staff are absolutely amazing—caring, dedicated, and truly invested in each child’s growth. The nurturing environment and Montessori approach helped our daughter thrive academically and socially. We’re so grateful for the love and support they provided all along these three years. Highly recommend Little Steps to any family looking for an exceptional preschool and staff who truly care for their students.

Little Steps has been amazing. My daughter is speech delayed and they have been the best with working with her. She is now talking our ears off too. Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Denise and all of the teachers have been amazing to work with. I’m already looking into having my other child attend once she is old enough. They put on little performances for the kids at the holidays and for graduation. Love love love this preschool.

We chose this school over others in the area due it’s curriculum and learning techniques compared to standard education being taught in public and other private schools. Daughter just graduated preschool there and she has excelled dramatically in the first year she attended. Miss Jennifer there is great along with Miss Melanie!!!

Little Steps has been the perfect transition for our little one into school. She didn’t make the TK cutoff for public school, so we started with Little Steps and now we wish we sent our older daughter here also. The staff is wonderful, they organize events for the children to enjoy the holidays, and they learn so much! Thank you to Miss Jennifer and her team.
