I see the growth and development in my child. I love seeing him excited about his work.

Where do I start?... I know someone who worked here that used to tell me horror stories of staff not following COVID-19 protocols especially when it comes to exposure. Kids also are moved up too fast even when they are not ready to be moved up. Too much drama within the coworkers and the place is also being ran by a woman who doesn't care about her employees and children in the building. Don't bring your kids here and most of all don't work here.

My daughter used to go there 3 years back and she still talks about how horribly she was treated here. She was 5 by then and didnt communicate much to us that time, but she used to stay upset and quite before going to school, and used to be sad all the time, We put her to a different school and her behavior totally changed after that, she started enjoying her school. Her teacher was extremely rude to kids and kids used to get scared of her. Never recommending this place to anyone.

We joined Step By Step a month prior to the pandemic hitting and my daughter was welcomed warmly by Ms. Jenna and the entire SBS staff. They navigated the pandemic with grace and by the time kids were back in session Ms. Jenna and my daughter had bonded virtually which made transitioning back so much easier. We also had our second child during 2020 so he started in the infant room when our daughter returned to preschool. Our daughter has recently started kindergarten and so thankful for how well SBS set her up to succeed as she comes home every day sharing how easy things are but entered knowing all letter sounds, how to write/read, count to 100 and do basic math - even multiplication! But not only did they provide her a jump start with academics they empowered her independence. SBS and Ms. Jenna played a huge role in fostering life skills and I have them to thank. She gets ready for school predominantly on her own, makes herself breakfast, packs her own school lunch, and helps around the house with chores such as folding and prepping food which makes my life easier and her proud to contribute to the household. Our little guy has moved up rooms and now is in transition tots with wonderful gals who show so much care and compassion. While there was some turnover with some of the staff over the years (2020/2021), given how stressful and taxing the childcare industry is coupled with a pandemic, SBS has continued to hire great humans who care. Early in 2022 they hired a new director who has made a great place even better and the staff has really settled into a great group of folks taking on the grand task of making kind humans out of little souls. Asked my daughter what she had to say: I really liked the classroom, loved my friends and my teachers, Ms. Jenna and Ms. Kylie
