Parent Reviews
First Steps International Academy has been an incredible place for my daughter’s early education, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful team that nurtures and supports her every day. Her teachers Ms. Angy, Ms. Lyana, and Ms. Camila are truly exceptional. Ms. Lyana has been with my daughter for two years, and the bond they’ve built is so special. Her patience, kindness, and dedication to her growth have made such a positive impact. Ms. Angy and Ms. Camila are equally amazing, always bringing warmth, enthusiasm, and creativity into the classroom. My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Angy, and every day she comes home excited to share a new story about what happened at school; whether it’s a fun activity, a special moment with her friends, or something new she learned. Ms. Camila brings so much love, fun, and energetic moments to the classroom, making every day an exciting experience for the children. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she creates an environment where learning is not only meaningful but also full of joy. Beyond the classroom, the entire school fosters a welcoming and nurturing environment. The director, Ms. Aura, and the office manager, Ms. Eliana, are incredibly kind and always go the extra mile to ensure that families feel supported. Their leadership and care make First Steps International Academy not just a school but a community where children thrive. One of the things that truly sets this school apart is the incredible dedication of all the teachers across every age group. No matter which class a child is in, they are met with patience, expertise, and genuine care. Every teacher at First Steps is passionate about what they do, creating a learning environment that is engaging, loving, and enriching. I feel so lucky to have my daughter in such a warm and inspiring school! We will never forget Ms. Marcia and Ms. Lili who played a crucial role in my daughter’s development in the 1 year old class.
First Steps International Academy has truly become a second home for our family. They have been amazing to my kids Sophia and Nicholas, always welcoming us with warmth and care. Aura, Eliana, Marianella, Lily, Bea, and the entire staff have been outstanding in every way. At First Steps, my children have grown, developed, made friends, and felt supported every day. It is a place where we feel like family, and we are grateful for everything they have done for us.
This is truly an excellent school, with an extraordinary curriculum. Every single day, the staff genuinely care and are fully committed to providing our son with an organic, meaningful, and well-rounded education. We feel grateful and confident knowing he is growing in such a nurturing and dedicated environment. We feel honored to be part of this community, and we deeply value the impact you have on our child’s life every single day. Thank so much!!
Excellent, In very happy of the decision I made last year to enroll my kids in First Steps International Academy. I see my kids growing and learning every day! The teachers are amazing, I see they really care about my kids, the curriculum the use VESS is perfect for the kids and the environment of the school and the classrooms is perfect.
