Everyone is so kind and friendly and the best is that our son loves his teachers and friends. He enjoys so much his day there and we feel he is safe and happy. ----- Author: Diana Carolina Casallas P√°ramo Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/21/2023, 10:44:05 PM Review: FSIA is a place where children are happy and safe. I absolutely love the team and the wonderful teachers. I would also say that the vibe is amazing and all the personnel is beyond caring. I value a lot the bilingual program and have witnessed how enriching is for the students.

The staff is professional and friendly, safe and enriched environment, highly recommended. ----- Author: Shehzeen Mitha Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/15/2022, 6:41:52 PM Review: We've had a great experience at First Steps and continue to do so. We have our twins enrolled here since they were 16 months. Their way of teaching is creative, fun and comforting for both the child and parent. Parents receive daily updates on the child's activities, how they ate and if they slept during nap. All the things we, as parents want to know while our precious ones are away from us. Dropping them to school everyday where they get to learn and mingle but more importantly where they feel safe is the best. Thanks to the staff for all they do! ----- Author: Angelica Gaviria Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/23/2021, 12:20:00 AM Review: I am writing this review as a speech pathologist that treats children at this school. This is the only place I recommend, if parents ask me for advice on where to send their kids to school. I have a caseload big enough that allows me to stay at least four hours per day, a couple of times a week at the facility. I am able to see many things that even parents can not see on a daily basis. The teachers at this place actually CARE. They are open to my suggestions and always find a way of helping my patients. The principal, Miss Ana Leisse takes great care of the staff and children. She has no fear of speaking to parents and referring the kids to services that they might need (speech, occupational therapy, etc.). I love going there because the progress we see in our plans of care is part of having a wonderful school team. The place is welcoming, clean, and very safe, especially now with the Covid 19.
Does this day care follow a specific curriculum?
Yes
The reviews highlight a well-rounded curriculum, including activities supporting cognitive, motor, and emotional development, and teaching children about different cultures.

They foster a sense of curiosity and independence in the kids, while ensuring they feel safe and loved.

Se incentiva el razonamiento lógico y autónomo, el espíritu inquisitivo, la exploración del entorno, la observación y la independencia. Pero aún más importante se enseña con respeto por el tiempo de cada niño y niña, con cariño y cercanía. Nuestra familia ha tenido una maravillosa experiencia en First Steps. ----- Author: Yeimis Barrios Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/19/2025, 2:06:40 PM Review: This school is amazing! Everyone on staff knows my daughter by name and are extremely attentive and caring. The curriculum is exceptional. Not only is my daughter learning academics such as math, reading, and science, she is also learning about different cultures and people are the world which is extremely important to me. The staff are highly educated on how to teach little ones emotional regulation and to solve any disputes in a kind manner. I always highly recommend this school to everyone I speak to. ----- Author: Michele Benjamin Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/30/2024, 10:16:39 PM Review: Great curriculum. Great teachers and staff. ----- Author: Natalia Pinzon, RD Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/24/2024, 1:03:09 PM Review: The curriculum is amazing. The real life experiences that children are exposed to every day. The involvement of families as experts to come and expose children to the world. By far the best school around. How i wish this would continue to elementary school! ----- Author: Diana Carolina Casallas Páramo Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/21/2023, 10:44:05 PM Review: FSIA is a place where children are happy and safe.

This is not a school, but a family. Everyone from the teachers to the staff to the custodians are super warm, cordial and always there to help you out! I absolutely love their curriculum, perfectly suited for little minds with tons of activity. We are non Spanish family and my daughter can actually understand Spanish now at 2 years of age. She has become an independent eater and thinker. It’s a 5 star school for the kids. ----- Author: Benilde Ramirez Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/22/2021, 9:49:04 PM Review: En First Steps International Academy he vivido una excelente experiencia ya que el ambiente de calidad y profesionalismo es increíble, enriquece el conocimiento de quienes laboramos en este lugar. Lo recomiendo altamente a nivel académico, el currículum es excelente y los niños salen muy bien preparados.

First steps is truly one of the best, the engagement of parents, daily updates from teacher and in depth hands on curriculum is amazing. I can't wait to have my little join full time so she can experience all First Steps has to offer
Great nurturing and caring environment for early education.
We love it! We can tell that our daughter loves it too because she's always very happy when we drop her off every morning. We love that we have been able to see how she has advanced on her social, cognitive, and communcation skills. We also love the fact that we can see pictures of her every day sent by the teachers and a summary showing what she has been doing. We are extremely happy with our experience as parents!
We love the school’s teachers, directors, activities and the opportunity that we are given to interact with out children while they learn & play. Both of my kids have the best experince in FSIA
First Steps International Academy has been an incredible place for my daughter’s early education, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful team that nurtures and supports her every day. Her teachers Ms. Angy, Ms. Lyana, and Ms. Camila are truly exceptional. Ms. Lyana has been with my daughter for two years, and the bond they’ve built is so special. Her patience, kindness, and dedication to her growth have made such a positive impact. Ms. Angy and Ms. Camila are equally amazing, always bringing warmth, enthusiasm, and creativity into the classroom. My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Angy, and every day she comes home excited to share a new story about what happened at school; whether it’s a fun activity, a special moment with her friends, or something new she learned. Ms. Camila brings so much love, fun, and energetic moments to the classroom, making every day an exciting experience for the children. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she creates an environment where learning is not only meaningful but also full of joy. Beyond the classroom, the entire school fosters a welcoming and nurturing environment. The director, Ms. Aura, and the office manager, Ms. Eliana, are incredibly kind and always go the extra mile to ensure that families feel supported. Their leadership and care make First Steps International Academy not just a school but a community where children thrive. One of the things that truly sets this school apart is the incredible dedication of all the teachers across every age group. No matter which class a child is in, they are met with patience, expertise, and genuine care. Every teacher at First Steps is passionate about what they do, creating a learning environment that is engaging, loving, and enriching. I feel so lucky to have my daughter in such a warm and inspiring school! We will never forget Ms. Marcia and Ms. Lili who played a crucial role in my daughter’s development in the 1 year old class.
