I love this daycare! Rachel who is the owner with her husband Rob has worked very hard over the years to take good care educationally, emotionally and physically of many children. My grandson attends and upon arrival cannot wait to get in the door to start his day! I’ve known Rachel and Rob for many years even before she owned the daycare centers. It was always her dream and she didn’t just open one center, she has two! Now that is success. Love you guys😘

Our child goes to Step by Step. Very professional staff and well organized management. The staff are very friendly. Day care has an excellent food program. They have an excellent transition program- as kids move from one age group class on up. I was able to get all of my questions answered and felt confident that my child would be well taken care of. Feel very comfortable and safe.

Our child attends has attended Step By Step since she was 6 month old - soon to be transitioning to Kindergarten. As an education professional myself, I have to say their educational programs and teachers are excellent and our daughter is developing intellectually and emotionally quite well thanks to their influence. If you are a parent looking for quality daycare in this area and you want something more than a glorified baby sitter, but rather a real school focused on developing your child, Step By Step is a great option!
