What Our Families are Saying

Small Steps Big Dreams is highly recommended. I’m a mother that is very nervous about sending my children to schools and my trust isn’t all that great, but when i say i’m pleased I am VERY pleased with this school. Tiffany is very helpful with all of my worries and my son is very happy with her, which is a plus. Her updates are spot on and i love that she keeps me updated on all of my sons daily care / routine / activities. If you are looking for a school you can trust to send your child(ren). I would say this school is highly recommended.
