Great daycare with dedicated teachers that foster a positive learning environment through a wide range of activities. Safe, clean, and secure facility with a great fresh/hot food menu that my son enjoys.

We love this daycare. Our son has been attending for 18 months and he has been flourishing. They have been so great during this whole pandemic with keeping h the kids safe.
Scott Hammond
Great Daycare, I have one child in daycare and another in the before/after school care. All the staff are super friendly, kind, and approachable. Would definitely suggest for any family. Keep up the great work!
Adria Joel

First Steps ELC is an absolutely amazing place for any child. Initially, I was a bit nervous to place my child anywhere because he absolutely disliked the previous centre, however, within the first week of starting here, it felt like home. The staff are amazing people who take their time daily to create an atmosphere of fun, education, creativity and moral development. From dancing with Denise to character building with Nikki, arts and crafts with Bethany, care & support with Lorissa, Katie, Emily, to Angela who makes certain every child eats well and is healthy and above all, Tammy who has created and maintained an atmosphere of family where staff and children bloom, it has been a really wonderful year for my child! Thanks to you all, my preschooler is ready to go to JK! If I had more children and the opportunity, we would definitely be returning to First Steps ELC. Highly recommend this centre!!!
