Director's Comments
Communication occurs daily and monthly. One of the benefits of having a small school is that the staff has time daily to speak to parents. I send home a letter at the beginning of each month informing parents of our curriculum for the month, special activities, birthdays, etc. I also subscribe to the Parent/Child magazine which I send home with each child several times a year.

| OVERALL RATING (4.2) |

Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Baby Steps has provided a loving, nurturing place for my child to have many positive experiences. He is happy and well adjusted. We love the program and the staff here. Great ratios and a hands-on curriculum. A truly terrific school!
Parent #2
Baby Steps is more of a daycare environment, but the educational and development curriculum are well thought-out and planned.
Parent #3
The staff at Baby Steps are warm, loving, and all are genuinely concerned for and affectionate with my children. It is a family-like atmosphere, in a converted house that has a central home-like kitchen, and the kids always seem happy.
