When my wife and I were looking for a daycare to place our young son, we found ourselves at…read moresomething of an impasse, due to part to our experiences. She grew up in a home daycare ran by her grandmother, and appreciated the relationships her grandmother developed with the children that were truly loving. I attended a traditional facility based program that was more classroom-based and therefore better equipped in some ways, but far less personal. Most of the places we visited in Delaware fell firmly into one of these two categories. When we found Little Stars, it quickly felt like home. Ginny Cahill, the director, answered all of our questions with knowledge, experience, and care. Her mother is the director at the other location, located off Kirkwood Highway, and prior to that ran a home daycare for many years. The values of the home daycare experience shine through into everything Little Stars does. However, it comes tied with the manpower and resources of a somewhat larger program. Inside, there are classroom "pods" that have walls on three sides, but on the fourth corner connect openly to a center area. As a result the children and staff members are all connected as well, providing many opportunity for sharing experiences and friendship building. The teachers know all the students, not only their own. My son was enrolled at Little Stars for 3 1/2 years. The strong bonds that he developed with the staff members and other children could best tell you the story of how satisfied we are with this facility. He was well cared for and engaged throughout his time there, and will miss it significantly as he moves on to "big kid school". Both Little Stars locations are well-run, organized, and safe places to enroll your children. The teachers take a strong interest in the lives of the children, and better than most daycares, prioritize learning alongside play. I have trusted my son's well-being to them for quite some time, and will continue to utilize their service for needed vacation and in-service days. If you are looking for care for your child, I strongly suggest you check them out.

When I was searching for daycares Little Stars was my number one choice and a couple reasons why. I…read morewas recommended to go there by a co worker, Its family owned, my sons teacher is awesome and not to mention so are the other teachers who just stop in the classroom throughout the day to help out and they have good childcare rates. I also appreciate the fact that they hid my spot for enrolling until the end of the week. They didn't pressure me into coming to their daycare at the time of enrollment. In all they are good people and I trust the teachers and staff with my son who I love dearly. Don't hesitate just sign your kid up he or she will be in good hands! sincerely TB:)

5.0 star rating 3/16/2014…read more First to Review I have been to a dozen different day cares in Delaware County and by far all of the Step by Step Learning Centers are far superior than the others I have inspected. They offer: college educated teachers, they have four stars with the Keystone Stars Program, they use creative curriculum at its highest level incorporating field trips and guest speakers in various occupations who come and speak to the children. This isn't your typical Child Care Center. This is an Academy that develops brilliant children. My children never want to leave and I am always impressed with what they have learned each day. Whether your child is 6 weeks old or 13 years old there is plenty of activities to keep their minds occupied. Don't waste your time going to other Day Cares, Step by Step is the place for intelligent minds and caring teachers and their rates are very reasonable

My only son's first experience with daycare took place at Goddard of Wilmington and I am so pleased…read morethat it did. I was very trepidatious about sending him to school out of our home, and am very new to the area, so finding the right place for him was a nerve-wracking process. The Goddard staff are patient, kind, and seem to genuinely care about him and his well being. His classmates are precocious, thoughtful, kind little people and Goddard is helping them thrive. Really terrific school with wonderful administrators (Lisa, Essence, and Payal, the owner) who are extremely hands on and involved with all aspects of the running of the school, and it shows. Teachers like Michelle, Kennedy and Asia are wonderfully gifted at engaging with children and bringing out the best in them.

It also always is amazing to us that they know and greet not only the kids, but each parent by name when you come for drop off or pick up. Leaving your kids to go to work each day can be hard, but attending this school made it so much easier and we never have to worry about their safety or well-being while they are here. Cannot say enough good things about this school.

When discipline is necessary the teachers use redirection.  The best part is my daughter really loves the school and is very happy there. I would highly recommend Kehillah.

Teachers are always changing in the toddler room. My little one have a fear of changing diaper and…read morealways have a diaper rash. The fear had gone after changing daycare. Worst pain is seeing your child cry non-stopping because she is in so much pain with the diaper rash and you cant heal it right away. Also my child had a bite mark from the daycare. You can see the whole teeth mark. The director and teacher investigate and found no incident when it occur. This is how much they don't pay attention to your child. And push off your concern. I finally realize when your child cry non-stopping during your drop off is a sign that something is wrong. At first, I thought she needed my attention or still bonded to me. But the new daycare, I was shocked she stop crying during the drop off. Price is expensive at this center and lack of care to your child.
