A Step Ahead has been so wonderful to our son. After being on the waiting list for over one year. Our son came into their program at the age of 2. Prior to being enrolled at A Step Ahead, our son was a stay at home child. I worried about how he would "fit-in" to the program since most of the kids have been in the program since they were infants. As a mother of my first child, I was very nervous leaving him with people I didn't know and children whose parents I didn't know. From day one we felt welcomed as we walked our son to his classroom. Our son immediately took to an amazing teacher(still his favorite), however he was not ready for his mom to leave. A Step Ahead was so accommodating to help make the transition such a smoother process. A Step Ahead worked with our son and had him fully potty trained within no time. A Step Ahead communicates very well with us parents through Facebook, letters sent home, telephone calls, and bulletin boards within the day care. The owners care about the safety of all students and staff. The owners make all meals from scratch and they focus on our son's health when preparing each meal. Each teacher loves our child like we love our child and they keep our babies safe. We have been very blessed to have found such a wonderful daycare. read more

We came to ASA when my oldest son was almost 3 and my other baby was 10 months old. My oldest was almost nonverbal with a severe speech delay that the owner of the facility brought my attention to, as a first time mama, not having anything to compare his development to. She provided me with so many resources that led to a speech therapist coming to the facility to serve him at daycare. The teachers also met him right where his needs were and provided alternate ways for him to communicate with them. Had it not been for their early interventions and support to build his confidence in interacting with his peers, he would not be the thriving, social butterfky of a 6 year old he is today. He was beyond prepared for "big school." Now, we had 4 kids, 3 of which are at ASA and we have nothing but incredible things to say about this facility. Every teacher knows each child by name. My children love going to school everyday. And as parents, we leave our most precious treasures knowing they're safe, loved, and cared for... all while learning new things, every single day! read more

A Step Ahead came into my life in 2001 when my sister started going when she was 2. Mrs. Sally, Mr. Terry and Mrs. Amy have been like family ever since. When I had my daughter, I knew that whenever we began talking about daycare, there was never any other option for her but ASA. When I was younger, I never understood the importance of selecting the right daycare for your child. But I definitely understand it now!!! Knowing that my daughter is attending a safe, inviting and educationally stimulating environment gives me such great peace of mind while at work. My daughters teachers have been incredible and are so patient working with her as she adjusts to being around more children her age. They do so many different crafts, and I am always coming home with a new picture to put on the refrigerator. My daughters speech has also greatly improved with the help of ASA staff. I am so grateful for A Step Ahead and they will always be our first choice. read more

A step ahead is by far the best daycare in the Conway and Carolina forest area! I have worked at three different centers in the area and I have had children attend at least five other centers in the area and none of them can even come close to the quality of care that my children have received at A Step Ahead! One of the things that sets them apart from most is that you can tell their staff is well educated in early childhood education and that they are taken well care of because most of them have been there for years! And as a former daycare teacher, I can assure you that usually is not the case in a center that is over crowded and under staffed. A Step Ahead is far from that, if anything I feel as though they are over staffed and under crowded which means there are more personal connections made between the teachers and children. We love ASA and would recommend them to EVERYONE!! read more

We have graduated one son from A Step Ahead and our second son is currently enrolled. The attention and care our boys have received has been top-notch. Although our youngest is a happy-go-lucky boy 99% of the time, when his "free-spirited" shenanigans comes out or he chooses to grunt at his peers and teachers, the staff are patient and help him work through his moments. At pick-up, teachers take the time to share a little about the day and give feedback. A Step Ahead has been a big part of our boy's development the past five years and we could not be more grateful. - The Poindexter's read more

We moved here three years ago when our daughter was about 6 months old. I searched everywhere for daycare and was getting very discouraged as it's so hard to find that perfect place for your baby. Thankfully I found A Step Ahead. The staff is amazing and the center is clean, safe and full of fun things for children of any age. Emma has grown and learned so much here. She loves all of her teachers and has made so many friends. It's like a second family and we are forever thankful to them. We love this place!! read more

My son has made lots of improvements since he started in June. He had a horrible experience at the last daycare. A step ahead is family owned and you can tell they care, the teachers are amazing and my son asks to go play with his friends when he's not there he's learned his ABC'S and counting to 10 and he'll be 3 in 2 weeks. He went from playing alone to playing with all the other kids. I'm very thankful for a step ahead. We appreciate all of their hard work and time. read more

We have only been attending ASA for two weeks, but already I feel very comfortable leaving my three month old here. A Step Ahead was highly recommended by several friends, and we couldn't be happier. I had a very hard time leaving my little girl on the first day but they make it as easy as possible. They were very open to as many phones calls I needed to make throughout the day to check on her. Very friendly staff and a welcoming environment, we are very happy so far. read more
