I can truly not put into words what a true blessing this school has been to our family. Like most…read moreparents in the beginning of the pandemic, we were faced with the decision to keep our toddler home or send him back to school. After touring CNS our decision to send him in the care of Rosemary, Mary, and Tara was truly a no brainer. Rosemary as the director provided a safe, loving, nurturing environment where our son has blossomed academically and emotionally. He comes home boasting about his accomplishments and new learned skills. The friendships he has made I have no doubt will be lasting ones. Now, as a graduating 4 /12 year old he can write, count, and truly has the skill set of a first grader. And this is truly all because of CNS. If we could send him here for the rest of his life, we would. What a blessing it is to send your child to school without a glimmer of worry.

There was an incident involving my child and said teacher, the owner refused me the right to discuss it with the teacher. Apparently this "teacher" is used as "crowd control" and gets loud with the children and has even been heard cursing in front of them. My child attended this center last year, in a different class, with a different teacher and did not experience issues like this before this "teacher showed up". I hope that other parents ask their children what is going on in this class. I would be concerned if anything like this is happening to other children too. He speaks very poorly to the children and has a very negative and condescending tone. Last year there was an issue with another staff member who ended up being let go because of how she was handling the children. Starting to see a pattern here! Do yourself and your child a favor and choose a different daycare!

Updated Review July 2024…read more I've removed my child from this School. My son is now 3yrs, from 7months to about 16months things remained the same as what is described above. He stepped up to another class in which he was the youngest, Mrs. Forbes (Owner/Director) asked because she needed to make room for another child. My wife and I agreed, we felt like it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately the level a care went down tremendously. For example: Diapers not being put on properly on multiple occasions, using someone else's diapers, my son had scratches on his arm because an employee was allowed to grow their nails out and in the mist of trying to save my son from bumping his head on a sink, she grab him and left scratches on his arm ( This incident happen mid week Mrs. Forbes didn't look into the matter or contact me about the matter until 2 weeks later). My son eventually was removed from that classroom due to several meetings I had discussing the same issues over and over with Mrs.Forbes who would make excuses and referred to First Step's as the best daycare in middletown and no other place provides the type of services she does. After the countless meetings, my son was place in a class that had kids younger then him. Mrs. Forbes felt like the teacher was competent in which she was. Things got back on track, he had some regression being in a class with kids that were younger then him in which there was some behavioral issues but the teacher stuck it out and assisted in getting him potty train which we greatly appreciated. Most individuals would ask why leave those things are minor, your child is happy and well taken care of after you had several meetings. Under the suggestion of Mrs.Forbes we had our son's behavior evaluated, findings came back normal with the exception of him needing a new environment. Mrs. Forbes is condescending, her attitude is nasty, she believes the parents have some obligation to her and the way she wants things done, there is no accountability, and she forgets that she works for the parents and children. I gave a four weeks notice before I left, I ultimately pulled my son out before the agreed time because she is not a woman of her word, as far as contract and hours that were suppose to be given. Mrs. Forbes made and executive decision to give me a credit instead of honoring the last 2weeks at 12hr days. Mrs. Forbes made it seem like she was doing me a favor when gave me a credit. Mrs. Forbes didn't stand by her word, when that was brought to her attention she disregarded what was agreed on and basically ignored the agreement that was made. My wife and I were upset over agreement that was made that she didn't honor. So we called for a meeting (Monday). Mrs. Forbes has a camera as well as a mic outside her door, my wife who does not curse called her a witch because she did not honor the agreement we set. Mrs. Forbes then called me to call me unprofessional and how she had patience with my wife and I. I think i had the patience. I will never recommend her business again. Good Luck to the Guy I Seen outside trying to get a spot at Missed Steps. FYI We did get our deposit back, i believe it was out of damage control rather than sincerity.

The center is always kept clean and you can tell the owner really loves what she does and cares for my daughter like she's her own. It's like a home away from home for my daughter who loves it there.
