Happy Parents
Ms. Jackie and the Toddler Steps community have been fantastic and a pleasure with our children for years now! Starting with our son at just 6-7mo, right up until he started preschool…. And we were such huge fans of the program that we then enrolled our 2nd born…. Both kids absolutely love/loved their everyday experiences playing & learning with their new friends and caring/supportive staff. We couldn’t imagine trusting and/or relying on any other facility to show the type of love and support for our children throughout the years and always give my highest recommendation towards any parents looking for a good piece of mind knowing your children are being well taken care of and safe, all while having a fully interactive and educational day learning new things that are exciting and can’t wait to tell you about!!! 5/5 Stars ⭐️

We have been so happy with our experiences at T-steps. It's obvious our children are very loved there. My daughter talks nonstop about her day every time we pick her up, and she's all songs and giggles when she's talking. We love how involved the owner is with caring for our children and I love the activities she finds to present to the kids. It's a great place to send your children if you need quality care and a friendly, home like setting.

My experience with Jackie has been nothing short of exceptional. She exudes warmth, professionalism and genuine care for her work. She is very easy to work with and will go out of her way to tend to your needs. I highly recommend her to any parent seeking a daycare faculty where their child’s well being and development are valued. Thank you for everything that you do!.
