I have used this provider for more than 6 months
My daughter was enrolled at DiBiase Baby Steps when she was just 3 months old. She spent time in all 4 classrooms before she moved up to DiBiase Preschool this September. The teaching staff in each of the classrooms took wonderful care of her. They provided her with a warm, loving, and safe environment whilst providing the best curriculum to develop her motor, language & social skills. DiBiase Baby Steps is a family owned and operated school. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every child enrolled in the program is treated like family too. I would highly recommend DiBiase Schools to anyone who wants the best early childhood education for their child!

Horrible place. The staff and director are rude and unprofessional. If you want a safe, kind and comfortable place for your child, this is NOT the place
