My experience with my first steps daycare was excellent.my son has been with them for about 2 years ,I can say just good things about them .The teachers were amazing . They are professionals , friendly and lovely . the daycare always was so clean and smells so good .The food it was just like the one that I make for him at home.
My child was very shy .With them he became a different person , Now he is more communicative and open with Others .Also every day I was surprised about all the things that he was learning .What I like the most ,it was the good manners that they teach him .
I am very grateful to you, thank you for everything. We are very sad that his time with you guys finished ????.
First I would like to thank the staff for all they do for my son. They are one of if not the most professional looking centers. They go above and beyond by providing a foundation by teaching the kids the abc, counting, sensory exercises and bilingual games. Thanks again for all you do!!!! Highly reccomend.
