    My daughter had an amazing time at Littlesteps. She settled in quickly and was always excited to go and happy when I picked her up. All the teachers are caring and attentive, with Ms. Sammy treating the kids like her own family. We highly recommend this daycare!

    I personally think that Little Steps is the best daycare center in Markham. It’s not a big institution, I know that lots of parents might care about this, but I actually like this a lot, because when it runs more like a small private school, the teachers are able to give each single kid’s a unique care plan. It feels more like a big daytime family with lots of cute little siblings. My daughter is super happy here for the past couple of years, she was a bit shy at the beginning, with time passing, I can tell she talks more and more every day, and is able to recognize lots of letters and numbers. And she is always positive for lots of things. The rooms are always very organized and clean, food is delicious for sure, my daughter talks about the food every day. Not to mention all those fun activities. All the experiences are great memories for her and our family members.

    I highly recommend little steps to everyone. The teachers are very patient and experienced. They love and care for the kids. My kids learn a lot in little steps,social skills, music, art, science, geography, table manners, etc. The school is very sanitary and offers a good variety of foods in house.

    We are so incredibly grateful to have found this daycare for our son. The entire team is caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of our child. We feel welcomed and supported. A special thank you to Ms. Sammy, who has been an absolute gem—so helpful, approachable, and always ready to answer our questions or provide guidance. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure both children and parents feel comfortable and informed. The love and attention the teachers give each child is heartwarming. Our son has grown so much socially and emotionally since starting here, and it’s all thanks to the nurturing environment they provide. We couldn’t ask for a better place for him to learn and thrive! Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and caring space for their little one. No wonder their reviews are high!

    Little Steps is a really special place. The teachers care about the kids and kids learn to be kind and independent. They have a broad learning curriculum where they learn to read and write, they learn about nature and different cultures. I have 2 kids who go to Little Steps. My 2 year old can recognize his letters and numbers. He sings the alphabet and can count to 10. My 4 year old can write and knows some French. I strongly recommend Little Steps if you're looking for a caring environment for your kids and want them to have a leg up in kindergarten.
