First step - where learning is child's play

What our Happy Parents Say

  • I can fully recommend First Step, my son went to this amazing pre school from the age of 22 months to 5 years starting in 1993. He has has just graduated from uni and the experience he had in First step in a child friendly environment with excellent interested staff provided him with a great start in life. It is such a happy place and is committed to involving parents every step of the way.

  • We’re back in Holland. We miss fs deeply. What a difference?! The school here isn’t as cozy, spacious, friendly, and personal by far. I just want to say what a great place you’ve created and thanks for the warmth and support from you and your staff. Good luck and lots of love and smiles!

  • We are pretty much settled in Victoria. Both boys are doing very well at school. Harindu is cruising through the numeracy and literacy work. Thanks to you and all the staff at fs for giving him a good start.

  • Anyway this is just to say thank you for giving my son the best time of his life yet. One day at bedtime, (about three days after he finished at First Steps) he just dissolved and cried his heart out for solid 45 minutes because he missed ‘his school’. He said when we drove out that day and was waving good bye, his heart broke, “not to two pieces, but to million pieces” (his words). Thank you so much for the experience of Firststeps, which we were lucky enough to have found. The only place that seems, to respect and celebrate childhood. Thank you.

  • If you only knew how often we think of you! We had Lila and Niall’s parent-teache-student conference. The teacher commented that “They are very imaginative”, “pick up concepts very quickly”, and “settled into school rhythm easily.” Din and I looked at each other and thanked fs! You have a fabulous school there lady!
