Home away from home, Ms.Armand and staff really take the best care of our children.Our son has been apart of A step ahead for six months now and he genuinely loves it here. As parents we feel comforted leaving our little guy at his home away from home, knowing he’s in the best care.

Ms. Armand, Ms. Liz and Ms. Naomi are the absolute best. The kids are always engaged in learning and fun, which is so important for children. They get amazing hands-on experiences with arts and crafts, science and more, indoors and outdoors. There are structures in place for the parents and children. It just feels like an extension to our household. My little one loves the staff and her friends. All day cares should be like this!

This is an excellent daycare! I’ve been bringing my daughter here for almost a year now and she has learned so much. The Daycare is Very clean, the staff is great with the kids and well organized. I get a monthly schedule of what the children will be learning that month, tons of arts and crafts projects sent home and photos updates. My daughter loves going to daycare, she doesn’t even look back when I drop her off anymore. It feels good knowing that my child is in good hands. I am extremely grateful for Ms. Armand and the rest of the staff. Definitely a 10/10.

I was inseparable with my son for the 18 months since he was born. I had to return to work during the day. The dread of looking for a daycare as a first time Mom gave me anxiety. From the moment I met Miss Armand I felt at ease. When I visited for the first time I was pleased to find the environment filled with toys, learning activities and fun things for little people. Everything was well organized, super clean and spotless. She understood each of my concerns and provided support every step of the way especially in the first two weeks when my son was transitioning from being home 24/7 to being at A Step Ahead. The adjustment didn’t take long and my child began to love being there. It is a home away from home. He has so much fun with the other children and loves the activities-dancing, arts and crafts, sing a- longs playing outside, learning colors and more. His learning is beyond impressive and his growth in language skills surprises me daily. I feel comfort in knowing that my child is engaged in activities that support his learning. This daycare is worth every penny. In addition, the assistants are so kind, loving, and patient with the kids. I recommend A Step Ahead to everyone. We love it here!

I would like to thank you Ms. Armand for being the lifesaver you are. You are amazingly well organized and professional and you understand how to hire an amazing staff which to me is what sets you apart. You have such a wonderful array of cultures and backgrounds that make up a diverse group of children my daughter can become lasting friends with. You foster such a complete learning environment and you force busy parents like ourselves to slow down and take part which is needed. Your worth more than I can mention to my family as well as the community you provide your services to. My daughter is learning so much and in our conversations I can hear your very impactful influence. We enjoy all the activities you and your staff create for our little one and anyone coming into your program is automatically family.Much love and thanks Ms. ARMAND- The Harris Family ❤

I wanted to wait exactly one month from enrollment to write this review out and I’m so happy writing this. Ms. Armand’s facility deserves more than five stars ! Being a young first time mom with two anxious first time grandmothers I was so scared to put my daughter in just anyone’s hands especially since she’s only 1 lol. I did a lot of daycare hunting and i was not at ease with the facilities . From the moment I did a google search and talked to Ms.Armand on the phone my spirit was at ease! I immediately registered my daughter after visiting the facility and my daughter has excelled so much in the past month . Every morning she’s so excited to go to daycare and get her hands into some new activities. Ms Armand and Ms Liz have managed to fully potty train my daughter in her first week there. Her social skills are advancing (she’s so well mannered , thank you is her favorite thing to say lol) and I’m so excited to see her speak in full sentences and gain more skills . This daycare is heaven sent !

For those parents thinking about sending their precious child to a safe, loved, and well educated daycare look no further, this is the place for you. My son has been with Ms Armand since 2 years old and now is 4. He has grown in his learning and built great friendships while having a ton a fun! A Step Ahead L&L gave me security knowing my son was in great hands and cared for daily. She makes there experience enjoyable with fun activities, celebrations, and hands on learning. Hope you feel comfort in choosing A Step Ahead and Ms Armand as you will not regret your decision.

First let me start off by saying that my search for a great day care was not easy due to so many day cares closing during the pandemic. I am so thankful to have found Ms.Armand. As soon as I walked in the day care she was so warm & welcoming. She made it really easy for me to make my decision in enrolling my son into her program. All my questions were kindly answered. Ms. Armand & her staff really focus on each child development individually according to the child's pace. My son has learned so much while in her program, he seems more interested in learning than ever before. He even knows how to count in Spanish. The daycare is very clean as well. It's a relief to me as a mother to know that when I drop him off every morning-he will be well taken care of. I would recommend this day care to anyone that is looking for quality care.

Completely amazing. My child is currently 2 years old and has advanced and conducted herself at a 5-6year old level. Between great education, great activities, children treating each other respectfully, I could not ask for anymore. Mrs. Armand and staff are punctual, courteous, and role models to the children. I’ve recommended this daycare to neighbors and friends. You can’t trust anyone with your child, me and my family trust A step ahead daycare and highly recommend this hidden gem.

Such a welcoming and intimate setting for children to learn and grow in. Ms. Armand runs the daycare and ensures that all the children from infancy to adolescents take part and benefit from the variety of activities/lessons she provides! She only selects the best staff members who truly adore the children as if they were their own! My 3 y.o. loves her friends at daycare and even when she has separation anxiety with drop off, the children try to console her as well! I’m glad I chose A Step Ahead L&L!

Ms. Armand runs her day care program very professionally, and with so much love and enthusiasm. With her, my children are not just being looked after, they are getting an education and provided with social tools as well. She always communicates with me if the children are struggling with anything. She is attentive to all the kids needs and I am so glad to have found her program. It is much more than a daycare!

My son Julian has been going to A Step Ahead L&L Daycare since he was 1.5 years old and he just turned 3 in August and he couldn't be in better hands. I feel he is safe and has socialized with other kids his age a bit younger and a bit older and it's great. They have activities he loves and is always smiling when he comes back home. Great place where I feel they look out for him.

“ Truly a warm, professional, loving caring in all aspects daycare “ Giving it a 10 Star not 5 “ It seem like yesterday, March 2015, my 1 year old grand daughter started attending at Step Ahead daycare, I was a nervous wreck trying to convince my daughter she’ll be better off with grandma. Update 3 years later Sept 2018, my granddaughter graduated with honors, Reading, writing, knowing her address she developed big Confidence for her next chapter kindergarten ! Thanks to all staff and leader/ Owner Ms. Armand. We will always be grateful for your love, passion to all the little ones. Abundant of blessings. Sincerely Mrs. Santiago and fam ?
