The beginning was so hard for my 2 years old daughter, for me and for Ms. Johana too because my toddler was used staying only with me since she was born and the transition was hard. After a looot of crying for hours, for almost a month we were just about to give up, Johana decided to try one more week and the rest is history üòä. I will never thank her enough for making my baby feel loved, comfortable and safe. Now she can‚Äôt wait to go there everyday. This day care is the best thing that can happen to a parent because they treat your child with respect and love. They do a bunch of activities that helps kids to develop, have fun and enjoy the day. I see my kid and I can‚Äôt believe how fast she learned so many new things. The place is so clean, organized and safe. Ms. Johana is such a caring, loving and kind person. She really loves all the kids, you can tell that just by seeing the bond between her and the kids. Thank you Johana for everything you have done for my baby girl ‚ô•Ô∏è I absolutely recommend this daycare 100% ----- Author: S Post-Ghez Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/13/2022, 1:15:39 PM Review: My husband and I are so so happy that we found My First Step Learning Center. Our son (now almost 21 MO) has been attending for a couple of months and it has been a blessing and relief! After having him at home with a dedicated sitter/nanny for the first 14 months...even though he s an easy going guy...the transition as a toddler to a full day care setting was a concern and he did not take to the first place we took him (lots and lots of crying for hours after we left). Ms. Johanna had him comfortable and happy to walk in the door to go to "school" and see his friends after 3/4 days (this included 8 am to almost 5 PM and napping away from home for the first time)! Her hands on, loving approach undeniably makes all the difference. We were shocked in the best way. She is so attentive to all of the children and it is noticeable she has a bond with all of them and that all children feel safe and welcome. Our little one has been talking so much more, they do crafts and you can tell there is enriching developmental stimulation occurring by the way his behavior is when he comes home and how he has continued to grow and show new skills and habits since starting here. She was/is respectful of all concerns my husband and I had or ever express with regards to how our little one is feeling on a given day and is wonderful at communicating with us and we love getting random photos of their activities throughout the week. My son also eats breakfast lunch and a snack there and his picky eating habits have improved likely because of the variety he is experiencing here (and Ms Johanna had no problem with me bringing and her storing my preferred milk for his breakfast and lunch drink to calm my mom anxieties). Also, I have to say the space smells AMAZING and is always superbly clean. I have no hesitation recommending this wonderful place for anyone's child.

We love Johana and her team very much! We could only stay for a while but our experience was great with them! They accepted us temporarily ( not many places do that!)which saved us a lot! Our toddler would not sleep independently but he was sleeping there which was a great practice for us. They have a great schedule and a fun splash time! Thanks Johana, again!
