4 STEPS Creative Learning Child Care Services, Riverdale Park

It's a very loving and caring atmosphere. It's also convenient and conscientious.

We really like the owner, Ms. Novella. She is great with the kids. She has been involved in professional childcare for a long time including involvement at the State level in licensing daycares. Ms. Esmerelda is Grace's favorite teacher and Ms. Juana has a special way with the infants. The hours are fantastic for busy families 8-6 and they follow the government schedule for holidays with an extended break in the summer and over Xmas/New Years which is convenient for us. The kids are exposed to immersion Spanish from Esmerelda and especially Juana- yes, my 2 yr old speaks better Spanish than I do. We get a folder full of creative art/learning projects that the kids work on every month that is very cute. Prices are through the roof for childcare, but 4 Steps seems very competitively priced. There are no partial day or partial week discounts, but at least we aren't locked into a mortgage.....I mean monthly payment. ;) The price does go down for 2 yrs old and above. The only drawback I can think of that has been a deal breaker for other parents are that sometimes the extended breaks are changed or we get informed at the last minute. This makes planning difficult, but not impossible and the benefits far outweigh the negative. Overall I'm very satisfied with our decision of who molds our child's behavior and would recommend them to anyone seeking a positive environment for your children to learn and grow in.
