Reviews
To any family seeking a caring, trustworthy, warm, nurturing program for their babies (big or small): I enthusiastically encourage you to trust Next Steps Learning Center. My son was enrolled for two years at the Chanhassen location until we relocated and were forced to switch. Its size lends to close relationships with the incredible staff of caregivers. While not smelling of bleach or feeling institutional, the facility is the most immaculate I've encountered (and believe me, I toured MANY). It's also extremely affordable relative to other comparable centers. My most favorite aspect is that my son loved being there. At dropoff many times he would run to his teacher and turn back only to blow me a kiss goodbye. Can't think of a better way to start my workday :)
