Here is what one family says about First Steps:
"My son enjoys Ms. Yvette's class very much. He became attached to her right from the start. In September, he only spoke Japanese and a few English words, but now he is building sentences in English. I have become more socially active and take my son everywhere. You are right, children are born to learn." -Aiko, a parent of an almost 3 year old.
