Parent Reviews
Our family LOVES Right Steps. Around 14 months, we enrolled our child in their transition ("Ocean") room. We had a nanny prior to enrolling, so our daughter took a couple of weeks to adjust (crying during drop offs). She loves it now! Perks: - You can leave your stroller there during the day (multi-baby strollers, as well). I've seen some kids leave their scooters there, too. - Food! Breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner are served there. - Fantastic Curriculum. The teachers there are amazing and they care a LOT about the kids.
Right Steps is a wonderful place. We have been there for 4 years, starting in the infant room. The teachers are so creative and engaging. The classrooms are clean, bright, and always decorated with children’s artwork. I know my children are safe and in very capable hands at Right Steps!
My son Lucas loves it here! It is very family-oriented!! Everybody is awesome he loves all his teachers the staff is great!
Our daughter has been at Right Steps full-time since she was 3.5 months old, and we’re so happy with our experience. The teachers are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Every teacher knows our daughter by name and greets her warmly whenever they see her. They also know her personality and her likes and dislikes, so she always feels comfortable and welcome. She’s learned so much over the past year at Right Steps and absolutely lights up when we walk through the doors each morning. Her teachers nurture her curiosity and make her feel so loved every day. It’s clear that the whole team cares deeply about the children, and we couldn’t be more grateful or recommend the center more highly.
Our daughter started at Right Steps Rittenhouse part-time when she was 7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly work together as a team, it’s amazing how many staff members know her by name and personality. She’s learned and grown so much over the past year, and we’ve always felt supported as first-time parents, especially during transitions. Our daughter is truly thriving! We also love that meals are provided, which has helped expand the variety of foods she enjoys. It’s clear that the whole team cares deeply about the children, and the environment is both nurturing and well-run. We’re so grateful to have found Right Steps Rittenhouse.
We sent our son to the daycare when he was 3.5 months old, and it has been an amazing experience! His teachers were caring and loving, and he’s very attached to them. Now he’s in a different class, and we’re still getting the best care possible. We’re very happy and satisfied!
Our family has been so happy with our experience here ! Our daughter attended the Kindergarten prep which prepared her more than we could have imagined. Our 2 year old son is now currently enrolled and the teachers have been so caring and wonderful with him , especially due to his anxiety into transitioning into daycare. The entire team is so sweet and responsive!
This daycare is wonderful! It has a beautiful indoor play space, is always clean, and serves delicious homemade food for our little loved ones. The staff are warm and welcoming — every class has its own kind and friendly teachers, and I’ve personally seen the center director, Ms. Denise, caring for each child with love and attention. They follow one of the best curriculums I’ve seen, and my daughter loves going here every day!
The team at right steps does a phenomenal job providing consistent quality service. I can always count on right steps to be there and my daughter loves it. You can tell the teachers really care about the children and love their jobs.
Rightsteps is the best of the best. I couldn’t ask for a better group of women to help me raise my boys. They are like family.
We absolutely love our experience with our daughter at Right Steps. From the teachers to the curriculum there is no other place I would consider sending my children!
Choosing Right Steps for my toddler was one of the best decisions for her care, growth, and safety. My baby girl is thriving academically, socially, and emotionally. I’ve seen amazing improvements in her behavior, habits, and mood. I’m so grateful for Right Steps and their kind, supportive staff.
