SBSS has been such an integral part of my Hoboken and parenting journey - they are everything you'd want in a neighborhood business and a childcare facility. Both of my children have been attending since they each started in the Wiggly Worms infant room and they've continued to grow, learn, and thrive. I have been so impressed and grateful for the genuine relationships that the administration and teachers form with the children in their care, as well as the parents! They have made me feel supported and encouraged through every developmental milestone, behavior challenge, and life transition, from starting solid foods to potty training. My older son LOVES to see his teachers and they really helped him to come out of his shell and be confident in a classroom setting. My little guy lights up with a smile each morning at drop off, and it's a small reminder that he is truly loved and cared for even when he is not at home. Beyond the wonderful staff, the facility is spacious, clean, and welcoming. I particularly appreciate that the infant room has a separate "napping section" so the babies aren't sleeping in a room with bright lights and in the midst of playtime. It really helped both of my children to have good sleep habits and stay in a routine. Their toddler rooms are cozy and have lots of space for playtime, and the older kids (preschool & aftercare) are upstairs which is a nice separation of space for the different age groups. They have a small gated outdoor space where the kids get to play when weather is nice and they offer soccer "practice" as well as a few other enrichment classes -- baby yoga, drama, etc. Added considerations for those looking at daycare options - SBS includes meals in tuition prices which has been a great perk as a family with two busy working parents, and they offer a really flexible slate of enrollment choices -- partial/full day and 2/3/4/5 day options, which helped us to customize our daycare experience with our family needs.
My two youngest started at 18 months old and all three of my boys continue to use the aftercare program (now Prek4 and 3rd grade). They have amazing teacher retention with such low turnover (a rarity in the childcare world) and the most good-natured, caring teachers. The kind of teachers that show up to your son's soccer game on the weekend, on their day off, just because they know how much it means to him :) We are so grateful to have Step by Step as part of our family. They are the BEST!
Our daughter has been attending Step By Step for the past two months and loves it. The staff have been amazing and she has settled in faster than we expected, this is down to the care and attention that the staff at Step by Step have given her. We would highly recommend anyone who’s looking for daycare for their children in Hoboken, we look forward to our second child starting in the new year!
SBSS has been awesome for our son! He's been going there for a year, and the experience has been wonderful. Between the teachers, administration, and all of the activities they are constantly doing not only for the kids but also for the parents to meet, it's been a great experience!
My son has been attending Step by Step for the past two months, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the daycare. The teachers are highly responsive to any questions and regularly provide updates about the children’s day. The kids are actively engaged in various activities and genuinely seem to enjoy themselves. It’s incredibly reassuring to know your child is being so well cared for every day. We are truly grateful.
