EXCELLENT Based on 36 reviews Rebecca Beslagic2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There truly aren’t enough positive words to express the incredible care, love, and attention Early Steps has given my son. From just 8 months old until he started big school at nearly 5, he was nurtured by a team that felt more like family. The growth and development we witnessed during his time there were remarkable (socially, emotionally, and academically). My heart was always full knowing he was part of such a warm, supportive, and beautifully multicultural community. We will always be grateful for the role Early Steps played in shaping his early years. YuMi Holcroft2025-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our little boy just started his first week at Early Steps Childcare Centre, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing team. His educators Jini, Kristen, and Michelle have been so welcoming and caring, and all the staff are absolutely lovely. It’s never easy starting childcare, but seeing how happy and settled Harvey has been already gives us so much peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Early Steps for making his first week so special! HostUs Cloud2025-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful to have found Early Steps Childcare Center for our daughter. When she first started, she was very shy and hesitant, especially because English is not her first language—she comes from a Korean background. At the beginning, she had some challenges with communication and adjusting to a new environment. However, thanks to the caring and professional educators at Early Steps, she has blossomed in such a short time. The staff created a warm, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere that helped her feel safe and confident. Now, she looks forward to going to the center every day, and she’s learning so much—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. One of the most amazing changes we’ve seen is her language development. She now speaks English fluently and interacts comfortably with her peers and teachers. It’s been a joy to watch her grow and thrive. I highly recommend Early Steps Childcare Center to any family, especially those from multicultural or non-English-speaking backgrounds. The team truly understands how to support children from diverse cultures and helps them feel at home while encouraging their development every step of the way. Sylvie Rose2025-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Early Steps Child Care. From the very first day, the staff welcomed our family with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for our child’s development and well-being. The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized to support learning through play. The caregivers are not only attentive and nurturing but also highly skilled in early childhood education. Our child is always excited to go each day, which speaks volumes about the loving and engaging atmosphere they’ve created. We especially appreciate the regular updates, photos, and open communication from the staff, it gives us peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable hands. We’ve seen incredible growth in our child’s social skills, confidence, and curiosity since enrolling. Highly recommended to any parent looking for quality care and a nurturing start for their little one! Gaurav pathak2025-06-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since my daughter started at Early Steps Childcare Centre, I’ve seen tremendous growth in her development. The educators are caring, professional, and always take the time to update me on her daily activities and eating routine during pickup. It’s reassuring to know she’s in such a nurturing and engaging environment. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on her. Highly recommend.

But the real standout for us has been Michelle. As the director, Michelle go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Centre Director
I have been at Early Steps since its opening in 2009 and I have had the pleasure of working as an assistant director and Room leader in the baby and kindy rooms and became the Centre Director in 2015.
I love my mornings when I spend time on the floor engaging with the children, this gives me insight and knowledge as to what my team need and allows me to keep my passion for the sector.
I am married and have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bearded dragon and 2 budgies, we have an adult son and a grandson who lights up our life.
I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
