Testimonials

Ms. Celeste and her group has been amazing with both of my children. Both kids have enjoyed their times with Celeste, and she had taken the time to get to know them. Even though I don’t live in the area anymore, I would highly recommend this group for child care.

  • Jessi s

My son was with 2 Steps Ahead or the organizers of the program throughout his time in elementary school. He loved the directors and they were always so great with him. They are really good with getting the kids schoolwork done and helping them when needed. They are also good at handling interpersonal situations between the kids.

  • Alan B

My child loved the program and was excited to go before and after school. So much better than the other programs at the school.
