We have two children and have tried several day cares/preschools including Montessori. I find Giant Steps to have the best curriculum and most competent staff. The teachers are certified and have bachelor's degrees, which speaks to understanding of child development and learning. The owner (Jennifer) is also a teacher and highly involved in everything from daily curriculum to changes in the classroom environment. The classroom environment changes monthly so that they children do not become bored. Jennifer researches extensively the different types of activities and learning curriculum to provide the best possible outcomes for students. The owner of the preschool actually knows the first and last name of my child as well as any issues he may have. I could not boast this of any other preschool programs we attended.

My husband and I absolutely love this school! We made a great decision by sending our son to Giant Steps! My son looks forward to going to school everyday! We enjoy seeing all the hands-on learning he gets in the classroom.

The BEST preschool in San Antonio, NOT daycare!

Ms. Castillo and Mrs. Salinas-Your patience, support, and love for our child is truly appreciated. Both our children have learned so much at Giant Steps. We know how dedicated the teachers and directors are and we take comfort knowing our son is safe and surrounded by such a caring staff. We are so lucky our son had such amazing teachers! Thank you for a great year!

Thank you for making every day an awesome day for the Bumblebees. I'm amazed at how much he's learned this year. And I love to see his smile at drop off and pick-up!

Best thing I ever did was to send both of my children to Giant Steps. Not only were they taught to read, write, and do math but they also became independent and responsible.

I love Giant Steps. Giant Steps has taught my daughter Kaylee so much. In the 2 years, she has learned colors, counting, writing her name and independence. Highly recommend it.

Giant Steps has been a wonderful place for our children! Mrs. Guerra has a true passion for teaching and our son is excited to see her each day and loves going to school. Our daughter also adores her teachers, Mrs. Wacasey and Mrs. Burns. The best part is knowing that this is not a daycare, but a place where they learn and has structure. This is truly a school and the director, Jennifer, makes sure it is ran that way!
