Parent Reviews
We are incredibly grateful to have found Little Steps-Pasitos daycare for our daughter. As first-time parents, the transition of sending her to daycare, and the process of finding one that we felt comfortable with, felt overwhelming and caused a lot of anxiety. However, Iris provided us with so much peace of mind. She created a nurturing, structured, and loving environment where our daughter has truly thrived. She has also guided us through establishing a consistent nap and sleep schedule, made the transition to solids smooth and stress-free, and was incredibly supportive during potty training. In addition to daily excursions to neighborhood parks and daily activities (arts/crafts, circle time), her bilingual approach has also been a wonderful benefit—exposing our daughter to Spanish daily in a natural and engaging way. Our daughter speaks fluent Spanish, which has come in handy at her new preschool. We couldn’t have asked for a better childcare provider. Iris has been such a positive influence in our daughter’s life, and we are so thankful for the love, care, and learning she provided every day. I highly recommend Little Steps-Pasitos if you’re looking for a home away from home for your little one!
It was wonderful to have had the opportunity to see your beloved daughter grow and to work with you for the well-being and development of your daughter. Thank you for having placed your trust in me and my program, I wish you the best. God Bless you🙏🏻
Iris and Little Step Pasitos has been the absolute best thing for our family for the last 2 years! We have been sending our son since he was 5 months old and have loved every second of our time we hear. Iris is one of the most loving and caring people we have ever met, and she has loved our son like he was her own. She runs such a fantastic daycare and we are so fortunate to have found her. Every day the kids do art projects, go outside, have circle time, sing, dance, and have fun exploring new projects. In addition, her place is incredibly clean and she serves them healthy breakfast and snacks. We are devastated to be moving out of San Francisco and will miss Iris and her family so incredibly much.
From the minute we walked in the doors at Little Step-Pasitos we knew this was the daycare of us! We had been searching for months trying to find a day care for our 6 month old son in San Francisco and were feeling defeated after visiting 10+ daycares. But Iris at Little Steps saved the day! From the minute we walked in the door, we felt like family. She welcomed us with open arms and loves our son as if he was her own. Her place is sparkling clean, she is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times, and she is affordable by SF standards. Her daycare is also Spanish immersion, which was a huge plus for us. Finding Iris was such a relief as this is our first kid and we were nervous about him starting daycare! I honestly can't say enough positive things about Iris. She does so many fun activities with the kids every day. They spend time doing arts and crafts, singing and playing songs, reading books, circle time, and going outside everyday! Although our son is still getting breast milk, she cooks yummy food for the older kids for snacks and lunch time. Every day we get a full report about what our son did, how his naps were, eating times, and all the fun activities they did. We seriously can't thank Iris enough for all the love and growth she has given our son. Every time we show up to her house, he jumps out of my arms and right into Iris's arms. With a huge smile on his face! Its such a relief dropping him off everyday knowing he is in excellent care. Thank you Iris for taking such good care of our son!

This place is the essence of caring for a child is straightforward: Love, kindness and happiness. The love they receive at home is the care that they provide. Each child is treated as if they were their own. The teacher is caring and very patient. They have alot of activities for the children's they have their area where they play,paint, there is another area where they get to play the piano. Some of the things that really catch my attention is that they speak Spanish and English which prepares the kids for school I definitely recommend it 100% . Its fantastic
