I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience my son had at First Steps Academy. From our very first tour while I was pregnant, I knew this place was special. The staff was welcoming, patient, and genuinely passionate about nurturing young minds. As a first-time mom, I felt completely supported throughout every stage of my son's journey—from toddlerhood to his kindergarten graduation. The teachers and administrators have been exceptional, not only in providing top-notch education but also in cultivating an environment where my son could thrive emotionally and socially. His character, joy, and strong values are a direct reflection of the wonderful care he received at First Steps Academy. By the time he graduated, he was not only prepared for elementary school academically but also confident, kind, and eager to continue learning.Thank you, First Steps Academy, for your unwavering dedication to my child's growth and development. You've made an incredible impact on our family, and I will always be grateful for the years of care, love, and service you provided. I can confidently say my son is ready to excel in whatever comes next, thanks to the solid foundation you've given him.

First Steps was an amazing experience for my son and for us. He started the school as a shy, quiet kid, and left the school as a confident, talkative, and "ready to conquer the world kid. The teachers at First Steps are caring, loving, and fun. The curriculum is perfectly tailored for each age group. My son started at First Steps on the toddler side and went through preschool (ages 3, 4, 5) at the school before starting at his current elementary school. The kindergarten program is fantastic! He learned so much during that year in preparation for elementary school that his current teacher is providing him with advanced materials since he has already learned so much from First Steps! I would recommend First Steps to any parent looking for a loving, nurturing and learning experience for their child while having a peace of mind that they are in good hands!
