Our daughter just started in the infant room at Step by Step Chaska this week. It’s a tough transition as a parent, but they have done a nice job communicating with us and making us feel comfortable. I visited 3 times before she started, so I had plenty of opportunities to meet the teachers, see the facility, and ask questions!

My preschooler absolutely loves going to his new school. His first day, drop off was terrible due to his prior experiences of other centers. When I picked him up from daycare that first day, he told me how much fun he had and about his “nice teachers”. He says his teachers aren’t angry, and his room isn’t dirty like his old school. Every day since, he walks right into the center and his classroom without any issues. I’m never walking into chaos at drop off or pick up, it’s very nice seeing the teachers having calm control over their classrooms. Beyond thankful to have my kids in a place where I know they’re being loved and cared for!
