Quality Education Carefully Crafted that Promote Hands-On and Minds-On Experiences!

"We believe that a preschool is not just a place where we keep your child safe and learning. We want your child to be safe, happy and enthusiastic about learning and discovering while he/she develops independence, values and social skills in a very well structured program. We also believe that our responsibility is not only with your child, but with your family. We want to go beyond; we want you to feel that First Steps International Academy is an extension of your home, and, furthermore, we are here to make your life easier and to help you out." Gilberto Pinzon, Owner.
