"Since starting at First Steps & Beyond, Eva has completely come out of her shell. She loves going to school to see her friends and teachers. We are always amazed at how much she has learned and how independent she has become. She is proud of being able to sign her name and most recently started reciting her phone number. Eva’s vocabulary has grown as well as having better pronunciation. We strongly feel that choosing this preschool was the right decision for our daughter. We look forward to next year in Pre-K."

"This is Zackary’s first year at First Steps and Beyond. He is our first child to attend this program and he won’t be the last. I am truly happy that I did my research and chose this school. The small class size and the opportunity to learn in a safe and caring environment were the primary reasons we chose this Pre-K class. The teachers are really involved, the school is clean and safe and Zack can’t wait to get to school each day! Music with Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Stasyk is by far far his favourite part of the day. He is constantly coming home and singing me the songs that he learned in class. I have already noticed that Zack is recognizing more letters than before. He is rhyming words and getting so much better with his counting. Zack also enjoys science, from learning about planets to making goop and science projects outside. He loved learning about the arctic, igloos and penguins. I am amazed at the rate of his learning. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the school year brings."

"We have a lot of respect for the level of effort seen upon each visit at your wonderful establishment since Cleopatra and Nikita have been attending. Their interest in letters and word recognition have peaked, their ability to write, especially Cleopatra’s capability on holding crayons amazes me. The girls also have excelled with their speech performance lately. Your resourcefulness along with your talents reflects in the children. We’re amused with all the crafts, such adorable ideas! We love to display them as soon as we arrive home. After only 3 months in preschool thus far, we’re looking forward to more advancement, and we thank you for your continued support with the development of our children."

"I'm so grateful to have discovered First Steps and Beyond for my daughter's early education. As an immigrant, it can be overwhelming to navigate the school system, but this school exceeded my expectations in every way. The teachers are exceptional, and my daughter absolutely loved her time there. She thrived under their care and learned so much. I couldn't be happier with the experience we had. I highly recommend First Steps and Beyond to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child to grow and learn."

"Absolutely fantastic place to get your kids started on their learning journey. Small class sizes, good programs and engaged educators. I truly believe my child has benefited greatly by attending First Steps."

"Talk about child progress, Friendly staff, Genuine Care for the children, this institution really exceeded our expectation. I’ve never seen our child this excited every morning to go to school and how motivated he is in every activity they have prepared on a daily basis. Amazing!"

"From the moment our daughter started pre-K here, we have watched her grow and thrive through Grade 2, and later experienced the same journey with our son through preschool and pre-K. We can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions we have made for our children’s early education. What stands out most is the school’s small class sizes and the level of individual attention each child receives. It is not just about academics; it is the care, the patience, and the genuine attention to detail that make a real difference in how the children learn and develop. There is a sense of warmth and intentionality here that you cannot put a price on. Our children have felt seen, supported, and encouraged every step of the way, and we are truly grateful to be part of this school community."

"What Lynne has created is so amazing. She has clearly poured her heart and soul into the school and it shows. The time that she spends with the children and my family is time away from hers. I want you to know how much that means to us. My kids love you like another parent. While I hope that they find another teacher like you, I just don't think it will be an easy search. You are one in a billion. The children’s lives will always be shaped by something you've created. What a legacy!"
