Mini Steps Academy

Ms. JJ is an answered prayer to our family and we couldn’t ask for more. My husband and I are both working and as first time mom/​dad, it was hard to leave our unica hija to strangers. The first daycare we found was a nightmare and I almost quit my job seeing my baby so uncomfortable & unhappy even after months she’s been there. Thank God Ms. JJ exists & we were so lucky to find her in Unilocal.Now I can focus on my work knowing that our daughter is in good hands.
My daughter had a very hard time adjusting on her first few months and she was throwing up every time she cried. We’re so glad Ms. JJ didn’t give up on my daughter and now she’s one of the happiest babies I’ve ever known :)
Ms. JJ is not just a caretaker, but a very good teacher as well. She disciplines all the kids in a manner that all parents would want their kids be treated. At the age of two, our baby knows the basic colors, shapes (including cone, cube, arch, etc), numbers (she could count from 1 to 20!) and started to recognize some of the numbers and letters. She can now draw shapes and her language skills improved a lot (the fact that we are multilingual at home — yes, 3 languages). People at church, restaurants & groceries would normally ask us her age and they get surprised by the way she talks. Usual comments are «she talks a lot» and «she has a very good vocabulary». Some of the 3 year old kids Ms. JJ took care of knew how to write their names at the age of 3!
Most days the kids wouldn’t want to leave her house and go home, that’s how I know our daughter is in the right place.
Mini Steps Academy and Ms. JJ deserve more than a 5-​star rating, unfortunately Unilocal wouldn’t allow me to do that ;)

After visiting so many daycare centers and in home daycares finally deciding on Mini Steps academy was easy; we could tell right away that Jaleh would be great! I began sending my first child to JJ at 4.5 months and we were one of the very first families to join. Not only did my daughter acquire important social skills but she was always learning too: the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, days, months, seasons! JJ is so loving with the children and always willing to work with parent’s requests and concerns. We also loved that JJ made us feel like part of the daycare family. She threw me a baby shower when we were expecting our second child and even took care of our daughter while I was in the hospital delivering our son!
JJ does a great job allowing the children time to play and provides them with time to learn. You will be very happy sending your children to Mini Steps Academy.

We are so glad to have found Mini Steps Academy. As a parent, leaving your kids to a stranger can be very worrisome. But with JJ of Mini Steps Academy, I feel safe to know that my child is in good hands. A very kind hearted lady, she takes care of my daughter like her own. Her priority as well is educating our kid academically. My daughter started going to Mini Steps when she was only 5 months (now 3y/​o). My daughter calls her daycare her «school» because she learns something new each day with JJ. Thank you!

Mini Steps Academy is simply the best! When I returned to work (after maternity leave) and needed to find care for my daughter, we agonized over the best decision as to who would take care of our daughter. Being a parent, I know, it’s perhaps one of the hardest decisions. You want someone to love and care for your child, just as you would, while you are away. JJ (Mini Steps Academy) was the perfect choice. Her kind, loving, patient, sweet, nurturing care is unparalleled. Knowing my daughter was in her hands while we were working gave us such a sense of peace because we quickly realized how JJ treated every child as her own. My daughter was with JJ from age 3 months to 2.5years old. The only reason we left was because we moved. My daughter still asks for JJ to this day (she is now 3.5years old). We will always love JJ and consider her a part of our Family just as she took my daughter and made her feel a part of hers.
