Small Steps Child Care

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRESCHOOL!!! They actually teach my child and follow a curriculum that will prepare my son for kindergarten. All staff are involved with the children and genuinely care for them. They also assist with potty training!!! Us parents/guardians are kept up to date using the Brightwheel app throughout the day with pictures and videos informing us about the different activities children are participating in as well as story time, what food is being served, nap time, and potty time. I’m so glad I chose this center as my child’s caregiver. The only thing I hate is your child graduates when they start Kindergarten. I wish age limit was increased to 10 years old so my son could stay longer. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!💙💙💙

Small Steps Preschool has been an absolute blessing for our family. From day one, the care, warmth, and dedication of the staff have made a lasting impression. It’s more than just a preschool—it’s a nurturing community where every child is encouraged to explore, grow, and thrive. What truly sets Small Steps apart is the incredible variety of activities they offer. From hands-on learning projects and seasonal crafts to music, story time, nature exploration, and sensory play—the classrooms are always buzzing with creativity and discovery. They also go above and beyond for families, regularly organizing events like holiday celebrations and parent-child activities that make everyone feel connected and involved. The teachers are patient, thoughtful, and deeply passionate about helping each child shine. Our child comes home each day full of excitement and stories to tell. We’ve seen tremendous growth—not only in learning, but in confidence and social skills too. Thank you, Small Steps, for giving our child such a strong and joyful start. We’re so proud to be part of this beautiful preschool family.

We have been alarmed, to say the least by this preschool's actions. Not only was below ignored and unreported, but they've also doubled down on parents' access to their center by further locking the gates, not just the doors. If recent news reports here in Louisville aren't alarming enough and very hard to digest, I would simply ask what are they trying to hide?! Why wouldn't you want the very parents who are entrusting you with their littles to be able to pop in and see how the teachers and administration are running the center, interact with your child's teacher, and build a rapport? Three bites in one week (2 of which went unreported to the parent) is not okay, the director said of a nonverbal classmate, that that is how they sometimes communicate. Unacceptable!! They even tried the tactic of sending my daughter a cease and desist letter to demand she remove her honest review of this business and tried to get her banned from other daycare centers. AVOID THIS CENTER AT ALL COSTS PARENTS!!! Absolutely horrifying!! Edited to say they have been reported to The KY Division of Regulated Child Care

I am super impressed with the staff at Small steps. I wish they were open when I had kids in school. Seriously considering sending my grandkids there when they’re a little older. The reason I’m so impressed is, I’ve had some opportunities to work on the building that they use. And I’ve been able to see how the staff and leadership interacts with the kids. It’s so clear to me how much they care they show patients and kindness these kids. It’s a great place.

Small Steps Preschool is a truly wonderful place! Their curriculum strikes the perfect balance between education and enjoyment, ensuring children learn while having fun. You can always tell by the happy faces of the children how much they love being here.
