What Parents Say
Step by Step Learning Center receives consistently high praise from parents for its caring staff led by director Ghada, individualized attention to children, and strong community feel. Parents appreciate the nutritious homemade meals, convenient hours, and easy communication, though note the facility lacks modern technology like apps or websites.
The teachers here are all incredibly kind and loving. My son started here at age two, and it took him less than a week to feel completely comfortable and excited to go each day. Their hours are great with very limited closures, which has been a huge help with my full-time work schedule. Drop off and pick up is super convenient, and communication with the owner is always easy. I originally came here based on referrals from other families who had nothing but positive things to say—and now I can say the same!
We’ve been part of the Step-by-Step Learning Center family for over two years now, and we are so grateful for the love and care Ms. Ghada and her team provide our children. Our son thrives here, and now our baby girl—who started at just 4 months old. Both kiddos are happy, safe, and loved each day. It’s a small, neighborhood daycare that truly feels like an extension of our home. The homemade meals are a wonderful touch, and while the exterior may not look fancy, the warmth and attention inside are unmatched. They also host fun events throughout the year that help bring families together and make us feel connected. We’re so thankful for this special place!
We love step by step! Ghada is so caring and our son has developed so much since starting there at 2.5. I love that they provide such healthy food. The building looks rough from the outside but the classrooms are well appointed. I’m impressed the teachers always keep toddlers belongings organized! If you are a parent that needs lots of technology/updates, this may not be the right fit as there is no app or website. But I’ll take the care my son is shown over an app. We feel lucky to have a loving and diverse school/daycare in our neighborhood!
My children have been at SBS since Jan 2021 and we absolutely love it! Ghada and all of the teachers are wonderful, loving, and have become like family to us. They truly love the children that they care for and all of the families as well. It is evident by the fact that our children love going to school every day so they can be with their teachers and friends. We have also built a supportive community of Sunnyside, Berkeley, and Sloan's Lake families that is a fantastic bonus. I do not know anyone else in Denver who has a better childcare situation and I truly cannot recommend SBS enough.
Both of my kiddos started here when they were 16 weeks old, and it has been an amazing experience! It is a small place with only 1 room for each age, which gives the kids more individualized attention. They provide breakfast, lunch and a snack for the toddlers and big kids. The teachers treat the kids so well, and the community of kids and parents is one of a kind! Ghada and all of the teachers take great care of the kids and it shows! My daughters are both happy when I drop them off and when I pick them up. We LOVE Step by Step!
