Our daughter spent just over a year at A Step Ahead, and we saw her social skills, Spanish comprehension, and ability to focus flourish under Ms. Laura and Ms. Diana's care. It was clear that each day was filled with both learning and fun. As parents, we also appreciated their prompt communication, frequent photos, and reasonable prices for full time care. The facility was always tidy and clean, and they must do a great job getting the kids to wash their hands, as we had far fewer illnesses than at our prior in-home daycare. The community of families was also wonderful, and we made many new friends that we've continued meeting up with. We'd highly recommend A Step Ahead for anyone looking for a high quality Spanish and/or Montessori preschool in a small, close-knit setting.

Our daughter is on her second year attending. Ms. Julia is highly trained and dedicated to running a top notch program based on the principles of Montessori. She is trained in the proper developmentally appropriate way to relate to the kids. For example, in our last day care, the caretaker would constantly reprimand my 2-year-old with "no's" whereas Ms. Julia will engage her to understand my daughter's needs and appropriately redirect her energy.
