More from our families…

  • “Their friendly and caring service is what sets them apart. When we looked at programs for our boys their approach really appealed to us.”

    Amy - Parent

  • "This place is magical, those who run it are amazing! They helped with my little guy and he absolutely adores each and every one of them! If you are feeling lost about where to take your special needs kiddo, call them. They are so welcoming and helpful through the process."

    Kari-Lynn - Parent

  • “The most important thing is he’s happy more. He comes home and it’s a big hug for dad. It means the world to us. We look at Step by Step as part of the family, it’s not just a school we come to.”

    Abdallah - Parent

  • “Our pediatrician told us right away that early intervention was critical which led us on this panic search to quickly find support services. Our son has absolutely thrived in the First Steps program. It has been so impactful for him, and we have seen vast improvements in his development which has been so encouraging.”

    Lyndsey - Parent

  • "I want to take this opportunity to thank Step by Step for the huge improvements my husband and I are seeing in our sons. Life is getting so much easier with them being able to express themselves and communicate their needs! It's true they still have some challenges, but every little improvement leaves a huge positive effect on our family!"

    Step by Step Parent

  • "Last night our little boy undressed for a bath with very little assistance. When he was all clean, he told his dad he wanted to play, crawled over to his walker, climbed on and said, “chase me, daddy.” He facilitated turn-taking and game rules between being the bad guy and good guy and spent almost an hour chasing “my favourite guy.” It was as close to running, as we’ve EVER seen from our competitive four-year-old."

    Step by Step Parent

  • "Our son has been so much happier since he started attending. Every day, he gets himself ready, grabs his backpack, and stands by the door, eagerly waiting to go play and learn. We are truly overjoyed to see the incredible progress he has made and how much his life has changed for the better."

    Jacklin - Parent

  • “We were very much underwater when Step by Step came onboard, but the few years we had working with wonderful, brilliant, compassionate professionals and support staff made the hugest difference to our family. Multiple needs within a family can be very complex, but the team never gave up and worked so hard to find new approaches. I always felt listened to as a parent and my kids felt seen and loved as well.”

    Andrea - Parent

  • “I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the teachers and aides that help my son. He's doing so good, learning so much everyday, and when he gets home from school he's talking more and more. Step by Step is the best school for him and I'm glad I chose it.”
